Using this guide

Please read the entire guide before use. When following
instructions, refer to the images at the front of the guide.
Intended use
The AirFit N20 and AirTouch N20 nasal masks channel airflow
non-invasively to a patient from a positive airway pressure
(PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel device.
The N20 is:
•
to be used by patients weighing more than 30 kg for
whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed
•
intended for single-patient re-use in the home
environment and multi-patient re-use in the
hospital/institutional environment.
AirTouch N20 cushion
The AirTouch N20 cushion is intended for single patient re-use
in both the home and hospital/institutional environment and
recommended to be replaced monthly.
WARNING
Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the
frame of the AirFit N20. Ensure the headgear and frame is
kept at least 50 mm away from any active medical implant
(eg, Pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects
from localised magnetic fields. The magnetic field strength
is less than 400 mT.
Clinical benefits
The clinical benefit of vented masks is the provision of
effective therapy delivery from a therapy device to the patient.
Intended patient population/medical
conditions
Obstructive pulmonary diseases (eg, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease), restrictive pulmonary diseases (eg,
diseases of the lung parenchyma, diseases of the chest wall,
neuromuscular diseases), central respiratory regulation
diseases, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity
hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).
Contraindications
Use of masks with magnetic components is contraindicated in
patients with the following pre-existing conditions:
•
a metallic hemostatic clip implanted in your head to repair
an aneurysm
