Replacing your equipment
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) coverage guidelines allow for regular replacement of masks and accessory parts, like air filters or tubing.
Replacing your mask and accessories as appropriate helps ensure you are receiving the best, most comfortable therapy possible.

Cleaning your mask in the home
Your mask and headgear should only be gently handwashed.
Daily/After each use:
• Disassemble the mask components according to the disassembly instructions.
• Thoroughly clean the separated mask components (excluding headgear), by gently rubbing in warm (approximately 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap.
• To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion after use.
• Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vent.
• Inspect each component and if required, repeat washing until visually clean.
• Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight.
• When all components are dry, reassemble according to the reassembly instructions.

Weekly:
• Handwash the headgear.

WARNING
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products what 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.

CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking, crazing, tears etc), or, if after cleaning, any component remains unclean, the component should be discarded and replaced.

ResMed Mirage FX™ frame system (without headgear)

Intended use
The Mirage FX channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.

The Mirage FX 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.

WARNING
• 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 a risk of fire.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask. 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.
