MirageTM SoftGel
nasal mask
Thank you for choosing the Mirage SoftGel. The Mirage SoftGel is the first in
ResMed’s ConvertAbleTM Series—offering a choice of two high performance
cushions (Mirage SoftGel and Mirage Activa LT) on the one durable frame.
For further information, refer to the ConvertAble Series section in this User
Guide.
Intended use
The Mirage SoftGel channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive
airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel system.
The Mirage SoftGel is:
to be used by adult 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.
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 selection options.
For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device
Compatibility List on www.resmed.com on the Products page under Service
& Support. If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.
Note: If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, use of a humidifier is
recommended.
WARNING
The vent holes must be kept clear.•
The mask should not be used unless the CPAP or bilevel device is
•
turned on and operating properly.
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 CPAP or bilevel device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.

2
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.
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your
•
clinician to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or bilevel
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 bilevel device function.
Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse reaction to
•
the use of the mask, 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.
As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP
•
pressures.
Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on settings
•
and operational information.
Remove all packaging before using the mask.
•
Cleaning your mask in the home
Your mask and headgear should only be handwashed by gently rubbing in
warm (approximately 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap. All components
should be rinsed well with drinking quality water and allowed to air dry out of
direct sunlight.
Daily/After each use:
To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion•
after use.
Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear).•
If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.•
Weekly:
Handwash the headgear. It may be washed without being disassembled.•

WARNING
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus•
or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent•
(cracking, crazing, tears or cushion damage resulting in gel
exposure, etc), the component should be discarded and replaced.
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.
Reprocessing the mask between patients
This mask should be reprocessed when used between patients.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization instructions are available from the
ResMed website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization/americas.
If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.
Troubleshooting
Problem/possible cause Solution
Mask is uncomfortable
Headgear straps are too tight. Adjust straps evenly. The forehead
support ‘anchors’ your mask and
should sit firmly on your forehead.
Fit is too tight. Wind out dial.
Mask is too noisy
Cushion clip is not inserted correctly. Remove cushion from frame and
reinsert starting at the top.
Check that the cushion clip is correctly
inserted into the cushion and that
the cushion is correctly clipped to the
frame. If the problem persists, talk to
your clinician.
