Quattro™FX for Her
FULL FACE MASK
Thank you for choosing the Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her. Please read the
entire manual before use.
Intended use
The Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her channels airflow noninvasively to a patient
from a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.
The Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her 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.
•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.
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.
•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 theTechnical 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.
Notes:
• If you experience airway dryness or irritation, using a humidifier is
recommended.
Fitting
Prior to fitting your mask, remove the spring frame support from the rear of
your mask and retain for future use. The Fitting illustrations section in this
guide show the sequence for obtaining the best fit and comfort in using your
mask.
Fitting steps
1. With both lower headgear clips released, position your mask at an
angle against your face, ensuring that the top of the cushion contacts
your nasal bridge first.
2. Keeping the upper position of the mask in place, swing the lower half
of the mask down against your face so that it rests halfway between
your bottom lip and chin.
3. Hold the mask firmly against your face and pull the headgear over your
head.
4. Bringing the lower straps below your ears, clip the headgear into the
lower part of the spring frame.
