Intended use
The AirFit N30i mask is intended to be used by patients weighing more
than 30 kg who have been prescribed non-invasive positive airway
pressure (PAP) therapy such as CPAP or bi-level therapy. The mask is
intended for single patient re-use in the home and multi-patient re-use in
the hospital/institutional environment.
Please read the entire guide before use.
Before using your mask

deterioration.

Fitting your mask
1. Pull the frame and headgear over your head until the elbow is
positioned on top and the headgear is behind your head.
2. Place the cushion under your nose.
3. Tighten or loosen the headgear until the cushion fits comfortably
under your nose.
4. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame.
Connect the air tubing from your device to the elbow, then reattach to
the frame.
Adjusting your mask
•When using the mask, air will flow out of the vents in the cushion and
elbow. If air leaks from the side or top of the cushion, adjust the mask
fitting to improve the seal.
•You can position the top of the frame forward or backwards over your
head until the mask feels comfortable.

WARNING
•The mask is not suitable for patients requiring life support ventilation.
•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 must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to
remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those prone to
aspiration.
•Regularly clean your mask to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
•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.
•Only use compatible CPAP or bi-level therapy devices. The technical specifications of
the mask are provided for healthcare professionals to determine compatible devices.
Use with incompatible devices may affect the performance or safety of the mask.
•Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your
physician or sleep therapist.
•The AirFit N30i nasal CPAP mask is not intended to be used simultaneously with
nebuliser medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.
CAUTION
•Remove all packaging before using the mask.
•Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental
condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
•When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin
redness or sores around the mask cushion.
•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.
•As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures.
•Always follow cleaning instructions and only use a mild liquid detergent. Some
cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful
residual vapours. Do not use a dish washer or washing machine to clean the mask.
•Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be damaged.
