F&P Zest™ Q Nasal Mask

Patient Instructions for Use

The F&P Zest Q Petite Nasal Mask is intended to be used by individuals greater than 66 lbs (30 kg) who have been diagnosed by a physician as requiring CPAP or Bi-Level Ventilator treatment. The F&P Zest Q Petite Nasal Mask is intended for Single Patient Use in the home and Multiple Patient Use in the hospital or other clinical setting where proper disinfection of the device can occur between patient uses.

The F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask and F&P Zest Q Plus Nasal Mask are intended to be used by individuals who have been diagnosed by a physician as requiring CPAP or Bi-Level Ventilator treatment. The F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask and F&P Zest Q Plus Nasal Mask are intended for Single Patient Adult Use in the home and Multiple Patient Adult Use in the hospital or other clinical setting where proper disinfection of the device can occur between patient uses.

Assembling Your Mask

Your F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask is fully assembled and ready to use. However, when you need to clean your mask follow these instructions for reassembly:

1. Place the Foam Cushion (D) into the Silicone Seal (C) in the orientation shown in the diagram.
2. Starting with the slot at the apex of the Silicone Seal, assemble onto Mask Base (A). Push firmly together.
3. Lay the Stretchgear™ Headgear (H) flat, with the label side down. Position the assembled mask over the Headgear and attach the four straps into the corresponding slots in the Forehead Rest (F) and the Glider™ Strap (E). This can be done without undoing the VELCRO® brand tabs*, by sliding the Headgear into the slots.

• VELCRO® is a registered trade mark of Velcro Industries B.V. 4. To assemble the Diffuser System, place the Diffuser (J) in Cover (I) , then attach to the Elbow (B). Attach Elbow (B) to Mask Base (A).

  1. Diffuser System (I and J)

Fitting Your Mask

1. Remove the plastic cover from the Silicone Seal.
2. Holding your mask in one hand, spread the Stretchgear™ Headgear (H) with your free hand, just enough to fit comfortably over your head.
3. Lightly hold the mask against your face, covering the nose, then slowly pull the Headgear over your head.
4. Attach the Headgear to the Glider™ Strap (E).
5. Pull the lower straps as low as possible down the back of your neck. Gently tighten straps to remove slack. Connect to CPAP/Bi-Level machine set at prescribed pressure.

• If necessary, tighten the lower straps to eliminate any leaks (avoid over-tightening the straps).
• When you need to remove your mask, unhook the Stretchgear™ Headgear from the Glider™ Strap.

FITTING TIPS

• Forehead pads should rest gently on the forehead without top straps being pulled too tightly.
• If there are any leaks after gently tightening the top and lower straps, pull the mask slightly out from the face while straps are still attached. This will allow the Silicone Seal to inflate with air. Put the mask back onto the face.

Cleaning Your Mask

To ensure continuing safety and comfort for your F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask:

• Before first use:
  Hand-wash the Stretchgear™ Headgear (H) in pure soap dissolved in lukewarm water. Do not soak for longer than 10 minutes, then rinse in fresh water and allow to dry out of direct sunlight.

• Before each use:
  Inspect the mask for deterioration. Do not use if damaged.

• After each use:
  1. Disassemble the Silicone Seal (C) , Foam Cushion (D) , Elbow (B) and the Headgear (H) from the Mask Base (A).
  2. Wash the Silicone Seal and Mask Base in pure soap dissolved in lukewarm water. Do not soak for longer than 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water, ensuring that all soap residue is removed.
  4. Wipe the Foam Cushion with a damp cloth. (Do not immerse the Foam Cushion in water.)
  5. Leave all parts to dry out of direct sun light before reassembling.
  6. The Diffuser (J ) should not be washed or rinsed. Simply replace it with a new Diffuser (J ) if it becomes noisy or deteriorates. It should last two to three months. Small dots may appear on the Diffuser ­ these do not affect its performance. The F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask may be used with, or without, the Diffuser System ( I and J ).

• Every 7 days:
  Hand-wash the Stretchgear™ Headgear (H) in pure soap dissolved in lukewarm water. Do not soak for longer than 10 minutes, then rinse in fresh water and allow to dry out of direct sunlight.

CAUTIONS

• Do not soak the mask for longer than 10 minutes.
• Do not wash the mask in the dishwasher.
• Do not clean the mask with products containing alcohol, anti-bacterial agents, antiseptic, bleach, chlorine or moisturizer.
• Do not store the mask in direct sunlight.

The above actions may deteriorate or damage the mask and shorten its life. If your F &P Zest Q Nasal Mask weakens or cracks, discontinue use and seek replacement immediately.

Operating Instructions

• The operating pressure range of the mask is 4-25 cmH2O.
• The operating temperature range of the mask is 5-40 °C (40-104 °F).
• Before using the mask each time:
  i) Inspect it for damage. If there is any visible deterioration (cracking, tears, etc) do not use and seek replacement part(s).
  ii) Ensure Elbow (B) has vent holes and do not use if blocked.
  iii) Make sure the air path through the mask is clear.

Note: Failure to follow the operating instructions above may compromise the performance and safety of the mask.

Warnings

• Only use F&P Zest Q Diffuser spare parts.

• Ensure only one fabric Diffuser (J) is used in the Diffuser System (I and J).

• This mask should be used only with CPAP or Bi-Level equipment recommended by your physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the CPAP or Bi-Level machine is turned on and operating properly.
  Explanation of Warning: CPAP and Bi-Level machines are intended to be used with special masks which have exhalation ports to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP/Bi-Level machine is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the CPAP/Bi-Level machine flushes the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation ports. However, when the CPAP/Bi- Level machine is not operating, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be re-breathed. Re-breathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation.

• At low CPAP/Bi-Level pressures the flow through the exhalation ports may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some re-breathing may occur.

• Do not block the gas exhaust ports. Before use, always ensure that gas is flowing out the exhaust ports.

• Do not use the mask if vomiting or feeling nauseous.

• Discontinue use if discomfort or irritation occurs, and consult your healthcare provider.

• Discontinue using the mask if there is an allergic reaction to any part of the mask. Consult your physician if this occurs.

• Use with Stroke Patients: One study has shown poor compliance with CPAP therapy in stroke patients. Careful evaluation of the patient’s capabilities for CPAP therapy should be exercised.

• If re-using the F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask between patients, refer to the Multi-Patient Cleaning Instructions for the F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask.

• If oxygen is used with CPAP/Bi-Level machine, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP/Bi-Level machine is not operating. Oxygen accumulated in the CPAP/Bi-Level machine enclosure will create a risk of fire.

• Keep ignition sources (e.g. smoking) away from anyone using oxygen with this mask

CAUTIONS

• Use the mask for its intended use only as directed in this booklet.
• US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by, or on order of, a physician.

Technical Specifications

EXHAUST FLOW
Nasal masks for CPAP and Bi-Level have exhaust flow holes to expel the air that you exhale from the mask. The F&P Zest Q Nasal Mask has a unique Diffuser system that is designed to diffuse the air that is expelled from the mask. This reduces the draft. The Diffuser does not significantly change the amount of air flowing from the mask, therefore the mask can be used with or without the Diffuser System (I and J).
