Managing leak with the AirFit F20 mask
1. Leak often occurs when your mask seal is compromised by movement, incorrect fitting or improper sizing.
2. To find the source of a leak, run your finger along the edge of your mask’s seal. Once located, adjust your headgear.
3. Resolve any leak in the upper part of your mask by adjusting your upper straps.
4. Resolve lower mask leak with your lower straps.
5. If leak persists, reseal by briefly pulling your mask away from your face, letting your cushion reinflate, and resettling your mask cushion so the cushion membrane is sitting at the top of your nasal bridge.
6. If leak continues, you may need a different size of mask. Try our sizing guide or speak to your healthcare provider about getting a different size of mask.
Sizing
1. To comfortably fit a broader range of patients, AirFit F20 features an entirely new cushion design. To help existing patients to transition to the AirFit F20 design, we recommend using our sizing guide , which is specifically designed to help patients find the right fit. You can download a copy of our sizing guide here. The arrow on the sizing guide should align with the top of your patient’s nasal bridge. The segment of the guide corresponding with the crease below your patient’s lower lip will indicate their best fit. If a patient falls between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger option for greater comfort.
2. AirFit F20 has three cushion sizes - small, medium and large. The modular design of the AirFit F20 means each size cushion easily clicks into the same mask frame.
3. Your patients can also download a copy of our sizing guide from the ResMed website.
