Thank you for choosing the AirFit P10. Please read the entire manual

while AirFit P10 for Her has pink headgear.
Refer to the illustrations and mask components diagram to
supplement the step-by-step procedures within this manual.
Intended Use
The AirFit P10 channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a
positive airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.
The AirFit P10 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.
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.

CS™ 2 and VPAP™ Adapt SV devices.
SmartStart may not operate effectively when using this mask
with some CPAP or bilevel devices that have this feature.

If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, using a humidifier is
recommended.
GENERAL WARNINGS
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 vent must be kept clear.
The 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.
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.
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
bilevel devices.
