Reprocessing The Mask Between Patients - ResMed Mirage SoftGel User Manual

WARNING
• Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus
or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
CAUTION
•
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, crazing, tears or cushion damage resulting in gel
exposure, etc), the component should be discarded and replaced.
• Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly
to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can
be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the
components to crack or break.

reinsert starting at the top.
Check that the cushion clip is correctly
inserted into the cushion and that
the cushion is correctly clipped to the
frame. If the problem persists, talk to
your clinician.
