Quattro™FX
FULL FACE MASK
Thank you for choosing the Quattro FX. Please read the entire manual before
use.
Intended use
The Quattro FX channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.
The Quattro FX is:
to be used by adult patients (> 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.
WARNING
The mask must be used under qualified supervision for users who•
are unable to remove the mask by themselves.The mask may not be
suitable for those predisposed to aspiration.
The elbow and valve assembly have specific safety functions.The•
mask should not be worn if the valve is damaged as it will not be able
to perform its safety function.The valve should be replaced if it is
damaged, distorted or torn.
The vent holes must be kept clear.•
The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the•
mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
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.
Remove all packaging before using the mask.•
Ensure the soft sleeves are fitted at all times during use.•

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.

CPAP or bilevel devices that have this feature.
If you experience airway dryness or irritation, using a humidifier is•

angle against your face, ensuring that the top of the cushion contacts
your nasal bridge first.

of the mask down against your face so that it rests halfway between
your bottom lip and chin.

head.

lower part of the spring frame.
