• Discontinue using the Mirage Liberty if you have ANY adverse reaction to the mask system, and consult your physician or sleep therapist. • Discontinue using the Mirage Liberty if you experience nasal irritation, and consult your physician or sleep therapist. • Refer to your flow generator manual for details on settings and operational information. Using the Mask Select ‘Mir Full’ or ‘Full Face’ as the mask option when using the Mirage Liberty with ResMed flow generators that have mask setting options. Fitting the mask The diagrams in section A on the illustrations sheet show how the parts of the mask fit together. The diagrams in section B show the suggested sequence for obtaining the best fit and comfort in using your mask. Please follow these instructions carefully. 1 Wash your face thoroughly before fitting the mask. It is recommended that you do not apply moisturiser where the mask contacts your face as it can affect the mask seal. 2 Place the headgear on your head, like you would a cap, and pull the mask forward onto your face (B-1). Make sure that the headgear fits evenly on the top of your head. 3 Fit the mask over your mouth. Insert the pillows so that they sit gently just inside the entrance to your nostrils. 4 Push the lower headgear clips into the slots on the mask frame until they click into place (B-2). 3 En gli s h 5 To tighten or loosen the headgear straps, peel the Velcro® tab off the headgear and reposition it. Gently and evenly adjust the upper headgear straps (B-3), then the lower straps (B-4). Alternate the adjustment of each set of straps until they are comfortable and firm and so that the upper headgear clips rest between your eye and your ear. The mask should gently ‘float’ on your face. Do not overtighten the headgear straps. 6 Connect one end of the main air tubing to your flow generator and the other end to the swivel. 7 Connect the elbow to the mask frame, holding the sides of the elbow then firmly pushing it onto the frame until it clicks into place (B-5). Rotate the elbow to check that it rotates freely and does not separate from the frame. 8 Turn your flow generator on. 9 If you feel air leaks, you may need to adjust your headgear. Return to step 5 or check through the suggestions in “Optimising mask seal and comfort” below. Optimising mask seal and comfort To receive effective therapy it is important to have the best seal possible between your mask and your face. If you are experiencing leaks, please ensure that you have followed the fitting instructions carefully. Carry out a quick check after fitting your mask: • Is the mouth cushion creased? Creases can allow air to leak out of the mask. • Have you cleaned your mask recently? Oils on the cushion and pillows can affect the seal. • Are the pillows correctly seated in your nostrils? Re-seat or adjust the pillows to obtain a proper seal. • Are your headgear straps overtightened? Try not to alter the upper headgear straps once they have been tightened by your clinician. • If you cannot establish a comfortable seal, do not overtighten the headgear. Consult your clinician. • Try another nasal pillow size. If you cannot resolve any problems, look at the Troubleshooting section, or talk to your clinician. Removing the Mask To remove the Mirage Liberty: 1 Detach the elbow by squeezing the elbow on both sides (C-1). 2 Unclip both of the lower headgear clips (C-2) and remove the mask. 4 Note: You can detach the elbow from the mask frame and leave the mask on your face. You may prefer to do this when briefly stopping therapy, for example to go to the bathroom. Disassembling the Mask See section C on the illustrations sheet. 1 Unclip the upper headgear clips from the frame (C-3). 2 Carefully pull the mouth cushion away from the frame (C-4). 3 Push the two nasal pillows down through the mouth cushion (C-5). 4 Remove the ports cap (C-6). 5 Detach the inlet tube assembly from the elbow. Note: The swivel does not need to be disconnected from the inlet tube. 6 Detach the valve clip from the elbow (C-7). 7 Peel the valve from the valve clip (C-8). Note: Do not pull on the valve flap, as this may cause it to tear. Cleaning the Mask in the Home Notes: • The mask and headgear can only be cleaned by handwashing. • The headgear may be washed without removing the headgear clips. • Do not soak any components of the mask. 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, causing cracks. • Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be damaged. Daily/After Each Use To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion and pillows before use. Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (30°C) water using mild soap or diluted dishwashing detergent. Clean the...
