Notes:

• The AirTouch N30i nasal mask uses a fabric cushion and a full fabric sleeve.
• The AirFit N30i nasal and the AirFit P30i pillows masks uses silicone cushions and short fabric sleeves.
• The cushions for these masks are interchangeable. The sleeves are not removable.
  • Not all masks are available in all regions.

Intended use

The AirTouch N30i, AirFit N30i and AirFit P30i masks are intended for patients weighing more than 30 kg, who have been prescribed non-invasive CPAP or bi-level positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. They are intended for single-patient reuse in the home environment and multi-patient reuse in the hospital/institutional environment.

WARNING

• The mask contains a specific safety feature, the vents, to enable normal breathing and exhaust exhaled breath. Occlusion of the vents needs to be prevented to avoid having an adverse effect on the safety and quality of the therapy. Regularly inspect the vents to ensure it is kept clean, clear of blockages and is not damaged.
• The mask is not suitable for patients requiring life support ventilation or who would experience serious deterioration of health or death with a loss or degradation of therapy.
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those prone to aspiration.
• Regularly clean your mask to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
• If there is any visible deterioration of a mask component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.) the component should be discarded and replaced.
• Always follow cleaning instructions and only use a mild liquid detergent. Some cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful residual vapours. Do not use a dishwasher or washing machine to clean the mask. Ozone or UV light products have not been validated for use with the mask and may lead to discoloration or damage.
• Only use compatible CPAP or bi-level therapy devices. The technical specifications of the mask are provided for healthcare professionals to determine compatible devices. Use with incompatible devices may affect the performance or safety of the mask.
• Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your physician or sleep therapist.
• The mask is not intended to be used simultaneously with nebuliser medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.
• 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.

- For any serious incidents that occur in relation to this device, these should be reported to ResMed and the competent authority in your country.

CAUTION

• Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
• When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin redness or sores around the mask cushion.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air to reduce risk of rebreathing exhaled air.
  • As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures.
• Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be damaged.

Clinical benefits

The clinical benefit of vented masks is the provision of effective therapy delivery from a therapy device to the patient.

Intended patient population/medical conditions

Obstructive pulmonary diseases (eg, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), restrictive pulmonary diseases (eg, diseases of the lung parenchyma, diseases of the chest wall, neuromuscular diseases), central respiratory regulation diseases, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).

Fitting your mask

Remove all packaging before using the mask. Wrinkles on fabric components may occur and do not affect the performance or safety of the mask.

1. Pull the frame and headgear over your head until the elbow is positioned on top and the headgear is behind your head.
2. Place the cushion under your nose. For the AirFit P30i mask, align the pillows into your nostrils.
3. Tighten or loosen the headgear until the cushion fits comfortably under your nose.
4. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame. Connect the air tubing from your device to the elbow, then reattach to the frame.

Mask setting options

Device Setting

Ensure that Pillows is selected in the mask setting options of your ResMed device. For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device Compatibility List at ResMed.com/downloads/masks.

Pillows

Adjusting your mask

• When using the mask, air will flow out of the vents in the cushion and elbow. If air leaks from the side or top of the cushion, adjust the mask fitting to improve the seal.
• You can position the top of the frame forward or backwards over your head until the mask feels comfortable.

Scan this QR code with your mobile device or visit ResMed.com/downloads/masks for helpful documents and support videos for your mask.

Sizing the mask cushion

If available, your physician or sleep therapist will use the fitting template to assist in selecting the right size cushion based on nose shape. Note that sizing across different masks may not be the same.

	AirTouch N30i	AirFit N30i	AirFit P30i
Narrower noses	M	S or M	Try each size for optimal comfort and seal.
Wider noses	SW or L	SW or W

If the mask frame falls back over your head or sits too close to your ears, try a small frame size. If the mask falls forward on your head or sits too close to your eyes, try a standard frame size.

Disassembling your mask for cleaning

If your mask is connected to a device, disconnect the device air tubing from the mask elbow.

1. Pull the cushion from the frame.
2. Gently peel the cushion away and slide the vent out.
3. Undo the fastening tabs on the headgear strap and pull it from the frame.
4. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame.

Note:

• The QuietAir or multi-hole vent can be removed to allow inspection of the vent holes.
• After detaching the headgear, close the fastening tabs to prevent it from damaging the fabric sleeves when handling.

Cleaning your mask at home

If there is any visible deterioration of a mask component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.) the component should be discarded and replaced. Pilling and fraying of fabric components may occur and do not affect performance of the mask.

Thoroughly clean the mask components as follows:

After each use: Cushion, QuietAir vent, Multi-hole vent

Weekly: Headgear, frame and elbow

1. Soak the components in warm water with a mild liquid detergent. Ensure that there are no air bubbles while soaking.
2. Hand wash the components with a soft, non-metallic bristle brush (eg, soft bristle toothbrush). Pay particular attention to the vent holes. For the AirTouch N30i cushion, hand wash only without a bristle brush.
3. Thoroughly rinse the components under running water. If the sleeve on the frame becomes twisted, it can be repositioned when wet.

4. Squeeze the fabric components with a clean towel to remove excess water. Shake the QuietAir vent to remove any excess water.

5. Leave the components to air dry out of direct sunlight.

If the mask components are not visibly clean, repeat the cleaning steps. Make sure that the vents are clean and clear.

Reassembling your mask

1. Connect the elbow into the top of the frame until it clicks.
2. Insert each end of the headgear strap into the frame and fold the fastening tabs backwards. Ensure that the ResMed logo is facing outwards and is upright.
3. Align the tab (a) on the cushion with the notch (b) on the vent, and then gently pull the cushion over the vent.
4. Insert the ends of the frame into the cushion, ensuring that the arrows on the cushion and frame are aligned.

Note: If the elbow ring detaches, re-insert into the top of the frame.

Reprocessing the mask between patients

When using between patients, these masks must be reprocessed according to instructions available on ResMed.com/downloads/masks.
