Mirage™ FX
NASAL MASK
Thank you for choosing the Mirage FX. Please read the entire manual before
use.
Intended use
The Mirage FX channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.
The Mirage FX is:
• to be used by 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.
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).
WARNING
•The mask contains safety features, eg, exhaust vent and valve, to
enable normal breathing and exhaust exhaled breath. Occlusion of the
exhaust vent or valve needs to be prevented to avoid having an
adverse effect on the safety and quality of the therapy. Regularly
inspect the vent and valve to ensure it is kept clean, clear of blockages
and is not damaged.
•This mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel 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.

2
Explanation: CPAP and bilevel devices are intended to be used
with special masks (or connectors) which have vent holes to allow
continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on
and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled
air out through the mask vent holes. However, when the device is not
operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through the mask,
and the exhaled air may be rebreathed.Rebreathing of exhaled air
for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to
suffocation.This applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel devices.
•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
device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in well
ventilated rooms.
•Remove all packaging before using the mask.
Note: For any serious incidents that occur in relation to this device, these
should be reported to ResMed and the competent authority in your country.
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 setting options.
For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device
Compatibility List on www.resmed.com/downloads/masks. If you do not have
internet access, please contact your ResMed representative.
Note:
If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, using a humidifier is
recommended.

your face and pull the headgear over your head.
2. Bringing the lower straps below your ears, loop the headgear into
the lower hooks on the mask frame.
3. Unfasten the Velcro®, pull the upper headgear straps evenly until
they are comfortable and reattach the Velcro. Do not overtighten.
4. Repeat step 3 with the lower headgear straps.
5. Attach the combined elbow assembly and air tubing to the mask by
pressing the side-tabs and pushing into mask frame.
6. Your mask and headgear should be positioned as shown. Ensure
the headgear label is facing outwards.

mask, disconnect one of the lower headgear hooks and pull the mask and
headgear up over your head.

• To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion
after use.
• Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vent.
• Inspect each component and if required, repeat washing until visually
