What is the difference between the AirFit™ F30 and the F30i CPAP masks?
To begin, the placement of the CPAP hose is different where on the F30, it connects at the front of the mask, on the F30i it connects at the top of the head. This is in order to provide added durability and stability for active sleepers which it is meant for. The F30 mask is also compatible with the AirMini™ Portable CPAP Device whereas the F30i is not.
What is included with the ResMed AirFit™ F30 Complete System?
The AirFit™ F30 Complete System includes the F30 cushion, cushion frame, the QuietAir™ Diffuser Elbow and the adjustable plush headgear.
What’s the difference between the classic ResMed AirFit™ F20 and the F30 mask?
The primary difference is the fit. The AirFit™ F30 is designed for minimal contact at the top of your nose so there's no risk of skin irritation or discomfort on the bridge of the nose. The F20 is a classic style mask that is designed to cover both the nose and the mouth and is ideal for those who do not suffer from skin irritation.

What are the different styles of CPAP mask options?
What are best practices for cleaning my mask interface?
It is important to clean your mask interface, tubing and water chamber frequently to eliminate bacteria and germs that can lead to respiratory infections and other complications. While automated cleaning systems like the SoClean and Sleep8 are great products for everyday automated cleaning, you still should regularly clean your mask, tubing and water chamber with a clinical grade disinfectant such as Control III. How frequently you clean your CPAP supplies is a personal choice, but the importance of doing so regularly should not be underestimated.
What's the correct way to fit a mask?
Fitting a mask properly depends a great deal on your position. Facial muscles change when we lie down and relax even further once we’re asleep, so it’s always best to fit the mask while you’re in your sleeping position. Whether you sleep in a bed with no pillows or in a recliner, you should fit your mask in your usual sleeping position. If you experience difficulties in fitting your mask, please refer to your mask user guide for complete fitting instructions or contact a Harmony HCS Sleep Coach at, 800-698-8000.
My CPAP mask is leaking. What does this mean?
Mask leaks should not be ignored as any type of leak can compromise your ability to maintain positive pressure, which is an important aspect of therapy efficacy. Often mask leak is due to an incorrect fit, worn out mask cushion and parts, or a less than ideal mask style choice. If you are having any difficulties contact a Harmony HCS Sleep Coach at, 800-698-8000.
Why and how often should I get a new CPAP mask cushion?
It is imperative to replace your mask cushion often to ensure optimal therapy results even when it visibly may not appear to require replacement. Harmony HCS suggests replacing your nasal mask pillow or cushion every 30-days as a best practice. Many of our clients replace their entire mask and start fresh once or twice a year.
Why and how often should I replace my CPAP mask headgear?
CPAP mask headgear and chin straps may become stretched and lose their elasticity, leading to over-tightening and discomfort. They can also trap bacteria from sweat and moisture. Your mask headgear should be replaced every 6 months. A Harmony HCS Product Champion will be happy to place a re-supply order for you over the phone at 800-698-8000, or of course you can place your order right here online. At Harmony HCS, shipping is always free.

I normally use a nasal mask. Can I use a full face mask when I have a cold?
Yes. You should remember, though, that every mask has slightly different characteristics, so if you're using a ResMed device, you'll need to change the mask setting on the user menu when you switch masks. Always refer to the mask/devices compatibility test when changing mask settings on your device.
Can a ResMed mask be used with another manufacturer's CPAP device?
In most cases, yes, but if you're using a non-ResMed APAP or bilevel device, you may want to check with the manufacturer to ensure it doesn’t compromise your sleep apnea therapy. The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician or equipment supplier to check that they are compatible with a CPAP or bilevel device. If used outside specification or with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort may not be optimal.
