Intended Use

The AirFit F30i Non-Magnetic mask is intended to be used by patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg) who have been prescribed non-invasive positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy such as CPAP or bi-level therapy. The mask is intended for single-patient re-use in the home and multi-patient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

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).

Before using your mask
Remove all packaging and inspect each mask component for visible deterioration.

Fitting your mask

1. Connect the air tubing from your device to the elbow.
2. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and pull from the frame. Put the elbow and air tubing aside for now.
3. Lift and pull both mask clips away from the frame connectors.
4. Place the cushion under your nose and ensure it sits comfortably against your face. With the ResMed logo on the headgear facing up, pull the headgear and frame over your head.
5. Bring the lower headgear straps under your ears and attach the mask clips to the frame connectors.
6. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull evenly. Repeat with the lower headgear straps.
7. Attach the elbow to the top of the frame. Your mask should now be positioned as shown.

Adjusting your mask

• With the device turned on and blowing air, adjust the position of the cushion for the most comfortable seal under your nose. Ensure that the cushion is not creased and the headgear is not twisted.
• To fix any mask leaks, adjust the upper or lower headgear straps. Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal and do not overtighten.

Sizing the mask
Your physician or sleep therapist can assist you in selecting the right size cushion.
If the mask frame falls back over your head or sits too close to your ears, try a smaller frame size. If the mask falls forward on your head or sits too close to your eyes, try a bigger 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. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull from the frame. Keep the mask clips attached to the lower headgear straps.
2. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame.
3. Grip the frame connector and lift to unclip from the cushion. Repeat on the other side.

Cleaning your mask
If there is any visible deterioration of a mask component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.) the component should be discarded and replaced.
Daily/After each use:
Cushion Weekly: Headgear, frame and elbow

1. Soak the components in warm water with a mild liquid detergent.
2. Hand wash the components with a soft bristle brush. Pay particular attention to the vent holes in both cushion and elbow.
3.  Thoroughly rinse the components under running water.
4. 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 vent holes and anti-asphyxia valves are clean and clear.

Reassembling your mask

1. Align and insert the frame connector tab (a) into the cushion slot (b) and press down until it clicks. Repeat on the other side.

WARNING

• The mask contains safety features, the exhaust vent holes and anti-asphyxia valves, to enable normal breathing and exhaust exhaled breath. Occlusion of the exhaust vent holes or anti-asphyxia valves needs to be prevented to avoid having an adverse effect on the safety and quality of the therapy. Regularly inspect the vent holes and anti-asphyxia valves to ensure they are kept clean, clear of blockages and are not damaged.
• Only use compatible CPAP or bi-level therapy devices or accessories. The technical specifications of the mask are provided for healthcare professionals to determine compatible devices. Use in combination with incompatible medical devices can decrease the safety or alter the performance of the mask.
• 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.
• Regularly clean your mask and its components to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
• 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.
• 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.
• Discontinue using or replace this mask if the patient has ANY adverse reaction to the use of the mask. Consult your physician or sleep therapist.
• 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.

WARNING

• The mask is not intended to be used simultaneously with nebulizer medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.
• 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 dish washer or washing machine to clean the mask.

CAUTION

• When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin redness or sores around the mask cushion.
• As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures.
• Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
• Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be damaged.

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