Mirage Micro™ for Kids

NASAL MASK
Thank you for choosing the Mirage Micro for Kids.

Intended use
The Mirage Micro for Kids channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel system. The Mirage Micro for Kids is:

• to be used by children aged 7 and older, and more than 40 lbs (18.2 kg), for whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed
• intended for single-patient re-use in the home and multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

WARNING

• 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 predisposed to aspiration.
• The mask should be used with CPAP or bilevel devices that allow pressure relief during expiration as recommeded by your physician or respiratory therapist.
• If the mask is prescribed for children with serious congenital conditions or cognitive impairments then using a CPAP or bilevel device with appropriate alarms is recommended.
• The vent holes must be kept clear.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
• This mask is designed to provide a stable, effective air seal with minimum headgear tension. High headgear tension may lead to facial deformities with long-term use. Regular clinician review of growth patterns and the use of different styles of mask is recommended.
• Ensure that the nasal cushion does not block the nostrils at any time during fitting or use.
• 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.
• This mask contains small parts that could cause choking. Your clinician should assess the suitability of the mask.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask.

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 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:

• SmartStop may not operate effectively when using this mask with some CPAP or bilevel devices that have this feature.
• If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, using a humidifier is recommended.

Cleaning your mask in the home

Your mask and headgear should be gently hand-washed only

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. It may be washed without being disassembled.

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

CAUTION

• If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking, crazing, tears or cushion damage etc), the component should be discarded and replaced.
• Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the components to crack or break.

Reprocessing the mask between patients
Only Sleep Lab Mask (SLM) variants of the mask are intended for multi-patient re-use. When using between patients, these masks must be reprocessed according to cleaning and disinfection instructions available on ResMed.com/downloads/masks.

Troubleshooting

WARNING

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Technical specifications

Pressure–flow curve
The mask contains passive venting to protect against rebreathing. As a result of manufacturing variations, the vent flow rate may vary.

• Therapy pressure 4 to 20 cm H2O
• Resistance Drop in pressure measured (nominal) at 50 L/min: 0.1 cm H2O at 100 L/min: 0.7 cm H2O

Storage
