Mirage Micro™
nasal mask
Thank you for choosing the Mirage Micro™.
Intended Use
The Mirage Micro channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive
airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
or bilevel system.
The Mirage Micro 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.
Before Using the Mask
WARNINGS
The vent holes must be kept clear.•
The mask should not be used unless the CPAP system is turned on and•
operating properly.
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow generator is not operating,•
so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the flow generator
enclosure and create a risk of fire.
At a fixed flow 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 flow generator. 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 flow generator function.
Discontinue using the Mirage Micro 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.•

Cleaning the Mask at Home
Notes:
The mask and headgear should be cleaned by handwashing.
•
The headgear may be washed without removing the headgear clips.•
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 mask component is apparent (cracking,•
crazing, tears etc.), the mask component should be discarded and
replaced.
Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly•
to any part of this mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can
be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the
components to crack or break.
Daily/After Each Use
To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion
before use.
Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (86°F/30°C) water using mild
soap.
If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.
Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow them to air
dry out of direct sunlight. Do not soak the mask.
Weekly
