Important Tips for Your Replacement Headgear ResMed AirFit F40
Regular Inspection and Cleaning
Frequently check the headgear for signs of wear, such as stretching, tears, or fraying. Clean it regularly according to the instructions to remove oils, sweat, and dirt, which can degrade the material over time. Visit our cleaning solutions for CPAP products.
Proper Adjustment
Ensure the headgear is adjusted to a comfortable fit that's neither too tight nor too loose. An improper fit can affect the mask's seal, potentially leading to air leaks and reduced therapy effectiveness.
Replacement Schedule
Like other CPAP mask components, the headgear may stretch and lose its elasticity over time, affecting the fit and seal of the mask. It's recommended to replace the headgear every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if it shows significant wear.
Handling with Care
When removing or fitting the mask, handle the headgear gently to avoid unnecessary stretching or strain. This helps maintain its shape and elasticity for a longer period.
Correct Storage
When not in use, store the mask and headgear in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Use only mild, gentle soaps for cleaning. Harsh chemicals can break down the fabric of the headgear, shortening its lifespan.
