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
•metallic splinters in one or both eyes.
Before using your mask
Remove all packaging and inspect each mask component for visible
deterioration.
Use the fitting template to assist in selecting the right size cushion and
frame.
Fitting your mask

English 3
1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame.
2. Place the cushion under your nose and ensure it sits comfortably
against your face. With the ResMed logo on the headgear facing up,
pull the headgear over your head.
3. Bring the lower headgear straps under your ears and attach the
magnetic clips to the frame.
4. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull evenly.
Repeat with the lower headgear straps.
5. If the headgear is too close to the ear, adjust the top headgear strap
6. Connect the device air tubing to the elbow and attach the elbow to
the mask, ensuring that it clicks in place.
Adjusting your mask
•With the device turned on and blowing air, adjust the position of the
cushion for the most comfortable fit under your nose. Ensure that the
cushion is not creased and the headgear is not twisted.
•To fix any leaks at the upper or lower part of the mask, adjust the top,
upper or lower headgear straps. Adjust only enough for a comfortable
seal and do not overtighten.
Removing your mask
1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame.
2. Pull the mask away from your face and back over your head.

Disassembling your mask for cleaning
If your mask is connected to a device, disconnect the device air tubing
from the mask elbow.
1. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull them
from the frame. Keep the magnetic clips attached to the lower
headgear straps.
2. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame.
3. Hold the top and bottom of the cushion and separate from the frame.
Cleaning your mask
After each use: Elbow, frame, cushion
Weekly: Headgear
1. Soak the components in warm water with a mild liquid detergent.
Ensure that there are no air bubbles while soaking.
2. Shake the components vigorously in the water for at least one minute
and hand wash with a soft bristle brush. Pay particular attention to all
connection areas, elbow vent holes and valves.
3. Thoroughly rinse the components under running water.
4. Squeeze the headgear to remove excess water. Leave the
components to air dry out of direct sunlight.
If the mask components are not visibly clean, repeat the cleaning steps.

English 5
Reassembling your mask
1. With the ResMed logo facing outwards and up, insert the upper
headgear straps into the frame from the inside and fold the fastening
tabs over to secure.
2. Hold the top and bottom of the cushion and attach to the frame.
3. Attach the elbow to the frame.
WARNING
•The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to
remove the mask by themselves. This mask is not for use on patients with impaired
laryngeal reflexes or other conditions predisposing to aspiration in the event of
regurgitation or vomiting.
•To avoid affecting the safety and quality of therapy, the mask vents must be kept clear
to protect against rebreathing. Regularly inspect the vents to ensure they are kept
clean, undamaged and clear of blockages.
•The mask contains specific safety features with the supplied elbow (containing the
valve and vent assembly) to ensure safe and functional usage. Do not use the mask if
these features are damaged or missing.
•The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted,
ensure the device is blowing air to reduce risk of rebreathing exhaled air.
•Oxygen supports combustion and must only be used in well ventilated rooms. Do not
use oxygen while smoking or near an open flame. Oxygen flow must be turned off
when the device is not operating.
•At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies,
depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of
application and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or bi-level
devices.
•The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician or respiratory
therapist to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or bi-level device. If used
outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the
mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or
variation in the rate of leak, may affect the CPAP or bi-level device function.
•Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your
physician or sleep therapist.
•Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental
condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
•The F30 line of full face CPAP masks are not intended to be used simultaneously with
nebulizer medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.

WARNING
•Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the frame of the mask. Ensure the
headgear and frame is kept at least 2" (50 mm) away from any active medical implant
(eg, pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic
fields. The magnetic field strength is less than 400 mT.
•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.
•Regularly clean your mask to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
•Always follow cleaning instructions. Some cleaning products may damage the mask,
its parts and their function, or leave harmful residual vapours.
CAUTION
•Remove all packaging before using the mask.
•When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin
redness or sores around the mask cushion.
•As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures.
•Visual criteria for product inspection: If there is any visible deterioration of a mask
component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.), the component should be discarded and
replaced.
