Can cushions with very small tears still be used?

AirTouch F20

Very small tears may occur with frequent use and should not affect mask performance. We recommend replacing the cushion if it exhibits unacceptable, visible deterioration. Large tearing of the cushion may result from improper cleaning. Please review the recommended cleaning instructions focusing on the following:

• Clean with a non alcoholic CPAP wipe, or equivalent

• Do not submerge in liquids

• Do not expose to domestic cleaning products or cleaning devices

• Do not dry or leave in direct sunlight for extended periods of time
