What It Is
The F&P Nova Nasal Headgear Pad spare replacement is a removable comfort accessory used with the Nova Nasal mask system. It sits between the SwingFit™ headgear and the back of the head, acting as a cushioning interface. It is not a structural component and does not affect mask sealing or airflow.
Intended Function
This headgear pad is designed to improve comfort at the rear head contact point during CPAP therapy. By distributing pressure more evenly, it helps reduce localized pressure points and skin irritation, supporting stable mask use during prolonged wear without requiring increased headgear tension.
Compatibility
The headgear pad is compatible only with the F&P Nova Nasal mask when used with Nova Nasal SwingFit™ headgear, including Small (400NVN121) and Medium–Large (400NVN122) sizes. It is not compatible with Nova Micro or other Fisher & Paykel mask families such as Evora, Eson, or Vitera.
Materials & Design
The component is a soft, flexible, textile-based pad intended for direct skin contact. It contains no magnets, metals, rigid plastics, or electronics and is latex-free, in line with Fisher & Paykel Healthcare material policies. Its design focuses on comfort rather than structural support.
Cleaning & Care
The headgear pad is washable and intended for repeated use. Clean with warm water and mild liquid soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reattachment. Do not use bleach, alcohol, or harsh chemicals, and do not tumble dry, iron, or dry in direct sunlight.
Replacement Guidance
No fixed replacement interval is specified by the manufacturer. Replacement is recommended if the padding loses softness, shows fabric wear or compression, hygiene standards cannot be maintained, or overall comfort is reduced. The pad is classified as a wear-and-comfort accessory rather than a timed consumable.
What’s Included
The package contains one Nova Nasal Headgear Pad replacement (code 400NVN162). It does not include headgear, mask frame, cushion, or other mask components. The part is intended solely as a replacement comfort pad for the Nova Nasal SwingFit™ headgear system.
