Description
The Resmed Airfit F20 Full Face Mask is a non-invasive accessory for channeling airflow to a patient from a positive airway pressure (PAP) device. It is designed for individuals who breathe through their mouth and is suitable for use with CPAP or bilevel therapy. The mask features an InfinitySeal™ cushion that adapts to different facial structures to provide a reliable seal. Its design aims to offer comfort and a clear field of vision, addressing common issues like leaks and claustrophobia.
InfinitySeal™ Cushion: This silicone cushion is designed to fit a wide range of facial shapes and sizes, providing a secure seal across different therapy pressures. Open Vision Design: The frame is flexible and sits below the eyes, offering a clear line of sight for activities like reading or watching television before sleep. Magnetic Clips: These clips secure the headgear to the frame, allowing for straightforward attachment and removal of the mask. Quick-Release Elbow: A 360-degree rotating elbow allows for freedom of movement and can be easily disconnected from the mask for convenience during the night. QuietAir™ Vent: This feature diffuses exhaled air to minimize noise, contributing to a quieter environment for the user and their partner.
Q: Is the Resmed Airfit F20 Full Face Mask suitable for people who breathe through their mouth?
A: Yes, this full face mask is designed for individuals who breathe through their mouth during sleep as it covers both the nose and mouth.
Q: How do I determine the correct size for my face?
A: You can determine the right size by using a ruler to measure the vertical distance from the bridge of your nose to the indent between your lower lip and chin. Resmed also provides a printable sizing template online for a more accurate assessment. It is advisable to consult your clinician to check your face size against the fitting template.
Q: How should I clean the Airfit F20 mask?
A: For daily cleaning, disassemble the mask and wash the cushion, elbow, and frame in warm water with a mild liquid detergent. Once a week, the headgear should also be hand-washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse all components thoroughly and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.
Q: Is this mask compatible with all CPAP machines?
A: The AirFit F20 mask is compatible with any CPAP or bilevel device that uses a standard 22mm connection, including those from manufacturers other than Resmed. For ResMed devices like the AirSense, you should select the 'Full Face' mask setting for proper operation.
Q: What are the magnetic clips for?
A: The magnetic clips on the headgear are designed for easy and quick fitting. They allow you to snap the mask on and off without needing to readjust the straps each time. However, masks with magnets have contraindications for users with certain medical implants, so it is important to consult the user guide and a healthcare professional.

Direction for Use/Dosage
Before use, ensure all packaging is removed. To fit the mask, unclip the magnetic clips on the lower straps. Hold the mask against your face and pull the headgear over your head. Ensure the lower straps are positioned below your ears and bring the magnetic clips up to connect with the frame. Adjust the fastening tabs on the upper and lower headgear straps evenly until the mask is stable and comfortable, but not overly tight. Connect the air tubing from your CPAP or bilevel device to the mask's elbow. Start your device. For detailed settings, refer to your PAP device manual. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for proper fitting and to determine the correct mask size for your facial structure.

Safety Information/Precaution
This mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel devices as recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist. The magnetic components in the headgear and frame must be kept at least 50 mm away from any active medical implants such as pacemakers or defibrillators. Use of this mask is contraindicated for individuals with metallic hemostatic clips in the head or metallic splinters in the eyes. For users unable to remove the mask on their own, qualified supervision is required. Daily cleaning of the cushion, elbow, and frame is recommended. Handwash components with a mild liquid detergent in warm water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight. Do not use harsh chemicals, alcohol, or bleach for cleaning. If using supplemental oxygen, turn it off when the PAP device is not operating to prevent oxygen accumulation. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting to use the mask, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
