Thank you for choosing the Mirage SoftGel. The Mirage SoftGel is the first in
ResMed's ConvertAble
cushions (Mirage SoftGel and Mirage Activa LT) on the one durable frame.
For further information, refer to the ConvertAble Series section in this User
Guide.
Intended use
The Mirage SoftGel channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive
airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel system.
The Mirage SoftGel is:
• to be used by adult patients (> 66 lb/30 kg) for whom positive airway
pressure has been prescribed
• intended for single-patient re-use in the home environment and
multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

Using your mask

When using your mask with ResMed CPAP or bilevel devices that have mask
setting options, refer to the Technical specifications section in this user guide
for mask selection options.
For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device
Compatibility List on www.resmed.com on the Products page under Service
& Support. If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.
Note: If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, use of a humidifier is
recommended.
WARNING
• The vent holes must be kept clear.
• The mask should not be used unless the CPAP or bilevel device is
turned on and operating properly.
• Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
• Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device
is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate
within the CPAP or bilevel device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
