What It Is
The F&P Nova Nasal Tube Clip – Spare is a removable, replaceable accessory designed for the F&P Nova Nasal CPAP mask. It attaches to the mask frame to secure the CPAP tube, providing an optional connection point for managing tubing position during sleep without altering the core mask structure.
Intended Function
This tube clip allows users to route the CPAP hose over the head, helping maintain a consistent tube position throughout the night. By reducing hose drag and downward pulling forces, it supports mask stability during movement and can assist comfort across different sleeping positions, as documented by the manufacturer.
Compatibility
The Nova Nasal Tube Clip – Spare is compatible exclusively with the F&P Nova Nasal mask system, including the Nova Nasal Frame Assembly (400NVN141). It is not compatible with other Fisher & Paykel masks such as Nova Micro, Evora, Eson, Brevida, Solo, Simplus, or Vitera.
Cleaning & Care
The tube clip is washable and should be cleaned as part of routine mask maintenance. Clean using warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reattaching. Do not use alcohol, solvents, abrasive cleaners, dishwashers, or washing machines, as these may damage the component.
Replacement Guidance
No fixed replacement interval is specified by the manufacturer. Replacement is recommended if the clip no longer holds the tubing securely, shows visible damage, cracking, or deformation, or if hygiene standards cannot be maintained. The clip is a non-consumable accessory but may wear over time with regular use.
What’s Included
The product includes one Nova Nasal Tube Clip spare replacement (code 400NVN161). It does not include CPAP tubing, mask frame, cushion, or headgear. This spare part is intended to replace only the tube clip component within the F&P Nova Nasal mask system.
