2. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to correctly attach the nasal pillow cushion to your ResMed AirFit P10 mask frame.
- Prepare the Mask Frame: Ensure your AirFit P10 mask frame is clean and free from any debris.
- Orient the Cushion: Identify the 'L' (Left) and 'R' (Right) markings on the nasal pillow cushion. These correspond to your left and right nostrils.
- Attach the Cushion: Gently push the nasal pillow cushion onto the mask frame until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the 'L' and 'R' sides align correctly with the corresponding openings on the frame.
- Verify Connection: Lightly tug on the cushion to confirm it is firmly attached and will not detach during use.

3. Operating Instructions
Proper placement and adjustment of your AirFit P10 mask with the nasal pillow cushion are crucial for effective therapy and comfort.
- Position the Cushion: Place the nasal pillows into your nostrils, ensuring a comfortable fit. The 'L' and 'R' markings should align with your left and right nostrils.
- Secure the Headgear: Pull the headgear over your head. The straps should sit comfortably around the back of your head, above your ears.
- Adjust for Seal: Gently adjust the headgear straps to achieve a secure but not overly tight seal. The cushion should feel snug in your nostrils without causing discomfort or pressure points. Avoid overtightening, as this can lead to leaks and irritation.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on your CPAP device. Lie down and breathe normally. Feel around the nasal pillows for any air leaks. If leaks occur, gently reposition the mask or adjust the headgear until the leaks are minimized.
- Comfort Check: Ensure the mask is comfortable and does not obstruct your vision or cause any skin irritation.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and timely replacement of your nasal pillow cushion are essential for hygiene, optimal performance, and longevity.
Daily Cleaning:
- Disassemble: Separate the nasal pillow cushion from the mask frame.
- Soak: Soak the cushion in warm water (approximately 30°C / 86°F) with a mild liquid detergent for about 10 minutes.
- Brush: Gently brush the elbow and around the vent holes to remove any residue.
- Rinse: Rinse all components thoroughly under running water until all detergent residue is removed.
- Air Dry: Leave the cushion to air dry completely out of direct sunlight before reassembling.
