Institutional Disinfection
For multi-patient use in the hospital/institutional environment, use the Disinfection Guide
to reprocess the mask between patients. These instructions can be obtained by visiting us
online at www.philips.com/respironics or by contacting Philips Respironics Customer
Service at 1-724-387-4000 or Respironics Deutschland at +49 8152 93060.
Dishwasher Instructions
Caution:
Use a mild liquid dishwashing detergent only
1. Remove the headgear. Do not wash the headgear in the dishwasher.
2. Wash in the top shelf of the dishwasher.
3. Air dry. Make sure the mask is dry before use.
4. Inspect all parts for damage or wear; replace any parts that have visibly deteriorated (cracking,
crazing, tears, etc). Replace the mask if the cushion becomes hardened.
System One Resistance Control
This mask uses the System One Resistance Control setting
.
This symbol may appear on your therapy device. This symbol
represents the level of mask resistance compensation. Match the
setting to the mask if appropriate.
Important Notes:
• Verify the System One setting if the mask or mask cushion
changes.
• The System One setting is not compatible with masks requiring a
separate/additional exhalation device.
If your provider has locked the resistance compensation setting,
you can view the setting but cannot change it, and the screen will
display a lock symbol. If your provider has disabled the resistance
compensation, you will not see this setting.
Putting on the Mask
1. Loosen the side headgear straps by peeling back the tabs and open the straps to a larger size.
2. Disconnect one or both of the bottom headgear clips. Grasp the clip with the thumb and index finger
and in a turning motion, lift the clip upwards with the thumb while pulling the clip away from the
mask faceplate.
3. Hold the mask against your face. The top of the cushion will contact your face just above the
eyebrows. The bottom of the cushion will contact your face just above the chin. Be sure your mouth
remains slightly open.
4. Pull the headgear over your head.
5. Attach one or both bottom headgear clips by finding the tab on the lower part of the mask faceplate
with your thumb (Figure 3). Guide and gently push the headgear clip onto the tab with your middle
and index fingers until it clicks into place.
Achieving the Right Fit
1. Tighten the side headgear straps. The top strap should lie at the crown of the head. The cross-
strap should sit low on the back of the head.
2. Tighten the bottom headgear straps.
3. Adjust the top headgear strap, if necessary. If the side headgear straps are resting on your ears,
adjust the top headgear strap to lift the straps slightly off of your ears. DO NOT over tighten
as it may cause the headgear to slip.
4. Connect the accessory swivel to the mask elbow.
5. Connect the tubing that is included with your CPAP or bi-level device to the accessory swivel.
6. With the airflow on, lie down and breathe normally with your mouth slightly open. Re-seat
the mask by pulling it directly away from your face and gently setting it back into place.
7. Assume different sleeping positions and move your head around.
