Product Overview

The ResMed AirFit P10 Frame System consists of the mask frame, short tube, and nasal pillows cushion. These components work together to deliver air pressure for your CPAP therapy.

The nasal pillows cushion is designed to sit comfortably at the entrance of your nostrils, providing a seal without covering your entire nose or mouth. The short tube connects the nasal pillows to your main CPAP tubing.

Setup

To set up your AirFit P10 Frame System:

1. Identify Components: Ensure you have the nasal pillows cushion, the mask frame, and the short tube.
2. Attach Nasal Pillows: Gently push the nasal pillows cushion onto the frame until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the 'L' and 'R' indicators on the pillows align with the corresponding sides of the frame.
3. Connect Short Tube: Attach the short tube to the swivel connector on the mask frame.
4. Check Size: Verify that the nasal pillows cushion size is appropriate for your nostrils. The correct size should provide a comfortable seal without feeling too tight or too loose.

Once assembled, connect the short tube to your CPAP machine's main air tubing. If you are using a headgear (sold separately), attach it to the frame system according to its specific instructions.

Operating

To use your ResMed AirFit P10 Frame System:

1. Position the Mask: Place the nasal pillows into your nostrils. If using headgear, adjust it to ensure a secure but comfortable fit. The mask should feel stable without excessive pressure.
2. Start CPAP Therapy: Turn on your CPAP machine. You should feel a gentle flow of air through the nasal pillows.
3. Check for Leaks: While lying down, check for any air leaks around the nasal pillows. Minor leaks are normal, but significant leaks can reduce therapy effectiveness. Adjust the mask position or headgear if necessary.
4. Comfort: Ensure the mask is comfortable and does not cause any skin irritation or pressure points.
