Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q

Description

Additional Features:

Air Pillow Seal: is 3D contoured with fine Variable Thickness Silicone and uses CPAP pressure to self-inflate to create an effective yet gentle double seal into and around the nose.  The AirPillow Seal can move and flex in any direction without compromising the seal.

Headgear Options: Adjustable or Strechwise Headgear

• Adjustable Headgear: this breathable, ergonomically designed headgear fits a greater range of head sizes and enables sizing adjustments to the patient’s preference.
• Stretchwise Headgear- an alternative option made from a soft, elasticized, latex-free thread with intelligent-stretch properties, this minimal headgear automatically adjusts to the wearer for a quick and easy fit.

Easy Frame: This low-profile frame is stable, durable and small, and ensures a clear line of sight.  The delivery tube is lightweight, very flexible and designed to minimize pressure or pull on the face.  The stabilizers provide the support frame for the AirPillow Seal and assist with stability.

• The elbow has a QCover diffuser for a quieter use and minimal draft.
• The ball-and-socket elbow rotates for freedom of movement while reducing drag from the CPAP tube.

Fitting Guide:

Fitting Your Mask with the Stretchwise Headgear

1. Remove all packaging before using your mask.
2. Hold the Silicone Seal away from your nose, use your fingers to carefully spread open the soft wide wings of the Silicone Seal and then guide the two openings into your nostrils.
3. Hold the mask frame and elbow area with one hand and stretch the Stretchwise Headgear over your head with other hand.
4. The two openings on the Silicone Seal should fit securely into your nose.

Fitting Tip: if there are any leaks after fitting the mask, pull the Silicone Seal away from the face while the headgear is still attached.  This will allow the Silicone Seal to inflate with air.  Place the mask back so that the two openings on the Silicone Seal fit securely into your nose.

Fitting Your Mask with Adjustable Headgear

1. Remove all packaging before using your mask.
2. Hold the Silicone Seal away from your nose, use your fingers to carefully spread open the soft wide wings of the Silicone Seal and then guide the two openings into your nostrils.
3. Hold the mask frame with one hand and position the Adjustable Headgear by pulling the bottom strap down over the head until secure.  Ensure the buckle is positioned at the top.
4. Adjust the crown strap so that the crown straps are directly above each ear.  Then adjust the side straps so that the headgear sits just above each ear.

Fitting Tip: your mask works best when the mask is not fastened too tight.  The Silicone Seal inflates with CPAP to provide a comfortable seal.

Cleaning tips (outlined by the American Thoracic Society April 2020):

• Daily: clean nasal pillow cushion daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent, may use mask wipes
• Weekly: clean full mask system (including headgear) with warm water and mild soap (dish soap). Rinse with water and then air dry away from direct sunlight.
