WARNING: This mask should be used with the positive airway pressure device recommended by the
manufacturer, your physician, or a respiratory therapist. The mask should not be used unless the
positive airway pressure device is turned on and operating properly. The mask's vent holes should
never be blocked. The vent holes allow a continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the positive
airway pressure device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the
exhaled air out through the mask's vent holes. When the positive airway pressure device is not
operating, exhaled air may be re-breathed. Re-breathing of exhaled air can, in some circumstances,
lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most models of nasal positive airway pressure devices
and masks.

WARNING: Do not use the IQ
Nasal Mask with baseline pressure less than 3 cm H

GENERAL INFORMATION

The IQ
Nasal Mask has a 3 month warranty for manufacturing defects. If a manufacturing defect is
suspected, contact your supplier. The mask has an expected service life of 6 to 12 months. Please
dispose of the mask and accessories in accordance with local and regional guidelines. The IQ
Mask and its accessories are Latex Free.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - SINGLE PATIENT USE
Cleaning is recommended on a daily basis. Wash the mask and components in warm water using a
mild detergent. Rinse the mask thoroughly after washing. Visually verify that the vent holes are clear
and allow the mask to air dry. Washing your face prior to fitting the mask will remove excess facial oils
and help extend the life of the mask.
NOTE: Inspect mask prior to each use. Replace the mask if parts are damaged or gel is exposed
due to tear or punctures.
NOTE: The gel cushion, although silky to touch, will not tear, leak or detach from the mask under
normal use and following recommended cleaning and maintenance protocols. However, the gel
cushion is not indestructible. It will tear, cut and rip if subjected to mishandling or abuse. Do not clean
in a dishwashing machine. The warranty does not cover these types of product failures. Therefore,
®
please handle your new IQ
Nasal Mask with care.

User Instructions for IQ
1. Attach tubing to mask.
2. Thread lower straps through slots in the mask headgear connector, and thread center strap through
top slot on headgear connector.
3. Place headgear on head with blue fabric facing outward. Pull straps outward to center the mask over
nose. Affix Velcro tabs to straps and adjust as necessary.
4. Adjust center strap. Attach tubing to headgear with loop strap, if preferred.
NOTE: The mask should rest comfortably against the face and still provide an effective air seal.
Pulling the straps too tight can cause skin irritation. The mask should not constrict your nose; you
should be able to breathe freely and comfortably. If the mask and headgear are adjusted correctly
and a problem persists, contact your healthcare professional.
5. Attach mask tubing to CPAP tubing; turn CPAP device on and verify airflow through mask.
6. Gently bend pliable ring embedded inside mask shell to change mask shape, create a comfortable
fit, and reduce leaks.
REMOVING THE MASK AND HEADGEAR
7. Disconnect the mask tubing assembly from the CPAP tubing by pressing the sides of the quick
connect. Part of the quick connect attachment will remain on the CPAP tubing.
8. Open one of the horizontal straps and detach from headgear connector on the mask.
