Full face mask

Thank you for choosing the AirFit ™ F20/AirTouch ™ F20. These masks are identical—except for the interchangeable AirFit F20 silicone cushion and

AirTouch F20 foam cushion. This offers two choices for your mask, depending on your preferred comfort, stability and seal.

This document provides the user instructions for:

• AirFit ™ F20/AirFit ™ F20 for Her

• AirTouch ™ F20/AirTouch ™ F20 for Her

These masks are referred to collectively as F20 throughout this manual.

These masks may not be available in all countries.

Using this guide

Please read the entire guide before use. When following instructions, refer to the images at the front of the guide.

Intended use

The F20 is a non-invasive accessory used for channeling airflow (with or without supplemental oxygen) to a patient from a positive airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway pressure

(CPAP) or bilevel system.

The F20 is:

• to be used by patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg) for whom positive airway pressure therapy has been prescribed

• intended for single-patient reuse in the home environment and multi-patient reuse in the hospital/institutional environment.

AirTouch F20 cushion

The cushion is intended for single-patient reuse in both home and hospital/institutional environments and recommended to be replaced monthly.

English 1

WARNING

Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the frame of the

F20. Ensure the headgear and frame is kept at least 2" (50 mm) away from any active medical implant (eg, pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic fields. The magnetic field strength is less than 400 mT.

Contraindications

Use of masks with magnetic components is contraindicated in patients with the following pre-existing conditions:

• a metallic hemostatic clip implanted in your head to repair an aneurysm

• metallic splinters in one or both eyes following a penetrating eye injury.

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 mask must be fitted with the supplied elbow (containing the valve and vent assembly) to ensure safe and functional usage unless otherwise specified. Do not use the mask if the valve or vent assembly is damaged or missing.

• The elbow, valve and vent 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 elbow should be replaced if the valve is damaged, distorted or torn. The vent holes and valve should be kept clear.

• The mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel devices recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.

• Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can be damaging to the materials of the mask, and may cause the components to crack or break.

• 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 venting to allow

2

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 holes. When the device is turned off, the mask valve opens to atmosphere allowing fresh air to be breathed. However, a higher level of exhaled air may be rebreathed when the device is off. This applies to most full face masks for use with CPAP and 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.

• 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.

• The F20 line of full face CPAP masks are not intended to be used simultaneously with nebulizer medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.

• 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.

English 3

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 the correct setting.

For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device

Compatibility List on www.resmed.com/downloads/masks. If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed representative.

Use a standard conical connector if pressure readings and/or supplemental oxygen are required.
