Mirage™ FX

Nasal MasK

Thank you for choosing the Mirage FX. Please read the entire manual

before use.

Intended use

The Mirage FX channels airﬂow noninvasively to a patient from a

continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.

The Mirage FX is:

• to be used by patients (> 66 lb/30 kg) for whom positive airway

pressure has been prescribed

• intended for single-patient re-use in the home environment and

multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

WARNING

• The vent holes must be kept clear.

• This mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel devices

recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.

• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on.

Once the mask is ﬁtted, ensure the device is blowing air.

Explanation: CPAP and bilevel devices are intended to be

used with special masks (or connectors which have vent holes

to allow continuous ﬂow of air out of the mask. When the

device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from

the device ﬂushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent

holes. However, when the device is not operating, insufﬁcient

fresh air will be provided through the mask, and the exhaled

air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer

than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to

suffocation. This applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel

devices.

• Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.

• Oxygen ﬂow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel

device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not

accumulate within the device enclosure and a risk of ﬁre.

• Remove all packaging before using the mask.

628025 Mirage FX User Guide Amer Multi.indb 1 1/02/2012 3:13:27 PM

• Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while

smoking or in the presence of an open ﬂame. Only use oxygen

in well ventilated rooms.

Using your mask

When using your mask with ResMed CPAP or bilevel devices that

have mask setting options, refer to the Technical speciﬁcations section

in this user guide for mask setting options.

Cleaning your mask in the home

Your mask and headgear should only be gently handwashed.

Daily/After each use:

• Disassemble the mask components according to the disassembly

instructions.

• Thoroughly clean the separated mask components (excluding

headgear), by gently rubbing in warm (approximately 86°F/30°C)

water using mild soap.

• To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the

cushion after use.

• Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vent.

• Inspect each component and if required, repeat washing until

visually clean.

• Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow to

air dry out of direct sunlight.

• When all components are dry, reassemble according to the

reassembly instructions.

Weekly:

• Handwash the headgear.

WARNING

Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg,

eucalyptus or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that

smell strongly (eg, citrus) to clean any of the mask components.

Residual vapours from these solutions can be inhaled if not

rinsed thoroughly. They may also damage the mask.

CAUTION

If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent

(cracking, crazing, tears etc), or, if after cleaning, any component

remains unclean, the component should be discarded and

replaced.

Mirage™ FX

MASQUE nASAl

Merci d'avoir choisi le Mirage FX. Veuillez lire le guide dans son

intégralité avant d’utiliser ce masque.

Usage prévu

Le Mirage FX achemine au patient de façon non invasive le débit d'air

produit par un appareil à pression positive continue (PPC) ou une

VNDP.

Le Mirage FX est prévu pour:

• une utilisation par des patients adultes (>66lb/30kg) à qui une

pression positive a été prescrite;

• un usage multiple par un seul patient à domicile ou pour un usage

multiple par plusieurs patients en milieu médical.

AVERTISSEMENT

• Les orifices de ventilation ne doivent jamais être obstrués.

• Ce masque ne doit être utilisé qu'avec des appareils de PPC

oude VNDP recommandés par un médecin ou un spécialiste

de la respiration.

• Le masque ne peut être porté que si l’appareil est sous

tension. Une fois le masque en place, s’assurer que l’appareil

produit un débit d’air.

Explication : les appareils de PPC et de VNDP sont utilisés

avec des masques (ou des connecteurs) spéciaux possédant

des orifices de ventilation permettant l'expulsion continue de

l'air en dehors du masque. Lorsque l'appareil est mis sous

tension et fonctionne correctement, il produit de l'air frais

qui expulse l'air expiré, à travers les orifices de ventilation

du masque. Toutefois, lorsque l'appareil ne fonctionne pas,

une quantité insuffisante d'air frais est produite et l'air expiré

risque d'être de nouveau inhalé. La réinspiration d'air inspiré,

pendant une période supérieure à plusieurs minutes peut,

dans certaines circonstances, provoquer une suffocation. La

plupart des appareils de PPC et de VNDP sont concernés par

ce problème.

• Prendre toutes les précautions applicables lors de l’adjonction

d’oxygène.

• L’oxygène est inflammable. Il ne faut pas fumer et utiliser de

l'oxygène en même temps ni utiliser de l'oxygène en présence

d'une flamme nue. L'oxygène ne doit être utilisé que dans des

salles bien ventilées.

• L’arrivée d’oxygène doit être fermée lorsque l’appareil de PPC

ou la VNDP n’est pas en marche afin d’empêcher l’oxygène

inutilisé de s’accumuler dans le boîtier de l’appareil et de créer

un risque d’incendie.

• Retirer tout l’emballage avant d’utiliser le masque.
