ResMed AirFit F30i Standard Frame System User Manual

1. Introduction

The ResMed AirFit F30i Standard Frame System is designed as a replacement component for the ResMed AirFit F30i full-face CPAP mask. This frame system is engineered to provide a relaxed fit and optimize sleep apnea therapy by keeping the air tubing out of the way with its top-of-head connection. Please note that this product includes only the frame system; headgear is not included.

2. Informations et avertissements importants en matière de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’interférences magnétiques

Keep the mask magnets at a safe distance of at least 6 inches (150 mm) away from implants or medical devices that may be adversely affected by magnetic interference. This warning applies to you or anyone in close physical contact with your mask. The magnets are located in the frame and lower headgear clips, with a magnetic field strength of up to 400mT. While designed to secure the mask, they may inadvertently detach during sleep.

Contre-indications :

Masks with magnetic components are contraindicated for use by patients, or anyone in close physical contact while using the mask, who have the following:

• Implants médicaux actifs qui interagissent avec des aimants (par exemple, stimulateurs cardiaques, défibrillateurs cardioverteurs implantables (DCI), neurostimulateurs, shunts de liquide céphalo-rachidien (LCR), pompes à insuline/à perfusion).
• Implants/objets métalliques contenant un matériau ferromagnétique (par exemple, clips d'anévrisme/dispositifs d'interruption de flux, bobines emboliques, stents, valves, électrodes, implants pour restaurer l'audition ou l'équilibre avec des aimants implantés, implants oculaires, éclats métalliques dans l'œil).

3. Composants du produit

The AirFit F30i Frame System consists of the flexible frame that connects the cushion to the air tubing. It features a tube-up design for enhanced freedom of movement. This system is a replacement part and does not include the mask cushion or headgear, which must be purchased separately or used from your existing AirFit F30i mask.

4. Configuration et assemblage

To set up your ResMed AirFit F30i Standard Frame System, follow these steps:

1. Vérifier la taille : Before assembly, ensure you have the correct cushion size and frame size for your mask. The frame system is designed to fit specific cushion sizes.
2. Attacher le coussin : Carefully align the cushion with the frame system and press them together until they securely click into place. Ensure a snug fit to prevent air leaks.
3. Connect Headgear: If you are using existing headgear, attach it to the designated connection points on the frame system. Adjust the headgear straps for a comfortable and secure fit without overtightening.
4. Connecter la tubulure : Attach your CPAP machine's air tubing to the top-of-head connection port on the frame system.

5. Mode d'emploi

Once assembled, place the mask on your face and adjust the headgear to achieve a comfortable seal. The top-of-head tube connection allows for greater freedom of movement during sleep, as the air tubing is kept away from your body. Ensure the mask is not too tight, as this can cause discomfort and pressure marks, or too loose, which can lead to air leaks.

7. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your AirFit F30i frame system, consider the following:

• Fuites excessives : Check if the cushion is properly seated within the frame. Inspect the frame and cushion for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure headgear is adjusted correctly, not too loose or too tight. Refer to the replacement schedule if components are old.
• Marques d'inconfort ou de pression : Re-adjust the headgear to ensure it is not overtightened. The frame should sit comfortably on your face without causing undue pressure.
• Efficacité thérapeutique réduite : This could indicate leaks or general wear of the mask components. Inspect all parts for deterioration and consider replacing the frame system or cushion as per the recommended schedule.
