Cleaning and maintenance

You should regularly carry out the cleaning and maintenance described in this section. These procedures do not require a specialist service organization.

Daily

1After daily use, wipe the inside and outside of the mask frame and nasal cushion with a clean, damp cloth.

2Disconnect the air tubing at the flow generator and hang the tubing and mask in a clean, dry place until next use.

CAUTION:

Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as

 

the tubing may harden over time and eventually

 

crack.

3If using a humidifier, remove the short air tubing between it and the flow generator after each use. Be particularly careful to disconnect the tubing at the flow generator end first, to make sure that no water spills down the tubing and into the flow generator.

4Clean and maintain the humidifier in accordance with the operating manual supplied with it.

Weekly

1• Remove the air tubing from the flow generator and from the mask.

Remove the headgear from the mask frame by unthreading the headgear straps.

Remove the cushion from the mask (but do not disassemble the mask frame any further).

2Check that the air outlet vent on the mask frame is not blocked. Remove any obstruction with a pin or similar object.

3Wash the mask frame, cushion and air tubing in warm water using a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly (particularly the air tubing) and allow to dry.

CAUTION:

Do not use bleach or chlorine-based solutions

 

to clean the cushion, mask or air tubing. These

 

solutions may cause hardening and reduce the

 

life of the product.

4Before next use, refit the cushion to the mask frame. Refit the headgear to the mask frame. Reconnect the air tubing to the flow generator and mask. (For detailed instructions see section 3, Preparing for use.)

The ResMed Comfort also focuses on noise reduction, making it one of the quietest devices in its category. Patients can enjoy a restful night's sleep without the distraction of loud machinery or airflow sounds. This characteristic is especially crucial for couples, where one partner’s therapy should not disrupt the other’s rest.

Customization is another hallmark of the ResMed Comfort. Users can adjust various settings, including ramp time, which allows them to gradually acclimate to the prescribed pressure. The device's user-friendly interface and display make navigating these settings a breeze, ensuring that patients can tailor their therapy to their specific needs with ease.
