Confirm headgear compatibility before purchase: This pad is designed only for the F&P Nova Nasal SwingFit™ headgear and will not fit Nova Micro or other F&P mask models.
Understand its role in the mask system: The headgear pad improves comfort at the back of the head but does not affect mask seal, pressure delivery, or airflow.
Use it to reduce pressure and irritation: If you notice soreness, redness, or pressure marks where the headgear rests, adding or replacing the pad can help distribute contact more evenly.
Do not overtighten straps to compensate for wear: If the pad feels flattened or uncomfortable, replacing it is better than tightening the headgear, which can lead to discomfort or leaks elsewhere.
Inspect the pad regularly: Loss of cushioning, fabric compression, or visible wear can reduce comfort even if the rest of the headgear still looks fine.
Clean it as part of weekly mask care: Wash with warm water and mild liquid soap, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry completely before reattaching.
Avoid heat and harsh cleaning methods: Do not use bleach, alcohol, tumble dryers, irons, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the fabric and reduce softness.
Reattach only when fully dry: Moisture trapped in the pad can cause skin irritation and reduce comfort during long nights of use.
Replace based on comfort, not a schedule: There is no fixed replacement interval. Replace the pad when softness decreases, hygiene is hard to maintain, or comfort changes.
Use official replacement parts only: Using the correct Nova Nasal headgear pad ensures proper fit with the SwingFit™ headgear and preserves intended comfort performance.
