•Any oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow generator is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the flow generator enclosure and create a risk of fire.

•At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.

•The technical specifications of the mask and flow generator are provided for your clinician to check that they are compatible. If used outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the flow generator function.

•Discontinue using the Mirage Quattro if you have ANY adverse reaction to any part of the mask system, 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 Quattro 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 sequence for obtaining the best fit and comfort in using your mask. Please follow these instructions carefully.

1Twist the forehead support dial to Position 24, where the forehead support is fully extended (Fig. B-1).

2Hold the mask steadily on your face (Fig. B-2) and pull the headgear over your head.

3Bringing the lower straps below your ears, clip the headgear to the lower part of the mask frame (Fig. B-3).

4Unfasten the Velcro®, pull the upper headgear straps evenly until they are comfortable and firm, and reattach the Velcro (Fig. B-4).

5Repeat step 4 with the lower headgear straps (Fig. B-5).

6Test the functioning of the valve by sealing the swivel with your hand and ensuring that you can still breathe freely.

7Connect the main air tubing to the swivel (Fig. B-6). Then connect the free end of the air tubing to your flow generator and turn the flow generator on.
