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.
