Siesta Full Face Mask
Thank you for choosing the Siesta Full Face Mask. The mask is designed to
minimize contact with your face, thus ensuring that you feel comfortable
during therapy. This user manual provides you with the information you need
for the correct use of your mask.
The mask is not made with natural rubber latex.

Intended use

The Siesta Full Face Mask channels airflow non-invasively to the patient from
a positive airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) or bi-level system.
The Siesta Full Face Mask is:
•
To be used by adult patients (> 66 lb / 30 kg) for whom positive airway
pressure therapy has been prescribed.
•
Intended for single-patient reuse.
CAUTION: In the US, Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.

Before using the mask

WARNINGS

•
The vent holes must be kept clear.
•
This mask should only be used with CPAP or bi-level devices
recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.
•
The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the
mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
•
Explanation of Warning: CPAP systems are intended for use with special
masks with connectors which have vent holes that allow continuous flow
of air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is on and operating
properly, the fresh air from the CPAP machine flushes the exhaled air out
through the attached mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP
machine is not operating, the fresh air supplied through the mask is
insufficient, and exhaled air will be re-inhaled. Rebreathing of exhaled air
for more than several minutes may, in some circumstances, lead to
suffocation. This warning applies to most models of CPAP systems.
•
At low CPAP pressures, the flow through the exhaled port may be
inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tube. Some rebreathing may
occur.
•
To minimize the risk of vomiting during sleep, the patient should avoid
eating or drinking three hours before using the mask. This mask is not
recommended if the patient is taking a prescription drug that may cause
vomiting.
•
Do not use the mask without the valve in place.
•
Not applicable for silicone-allergy user.
•
This mask should not be used on patients who are uncooperative,
unresponsive, or unable to remove the mask.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.

•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the PAP Device is not in operation,
so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the PAP Device
enclosure and create a fire hazard.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking
or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in a well-ventilated
room.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen
concentration varies depending on the pressure settings, patient
breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.
•
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician to
check if it is compatible with the PAP Device. If it is used beyond
Technical Specifications or used with incompatible devices, the seal and
comfort of the mask may not be effective, and optimum therapy may not
be achieved. Leak or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the function
of the PAP device.
•
Stop using the Siesta Full Face Mask and consult your physician or sleep
therapist if you have ANY adverse reaction to the use of the mask.
•
Refer to your PAP Device manual for details on settings and operational
information.
•
Images shown here are indicative only. If there is inconsistency between
the image and actual product, the latter shall govern.
