Nasal Mask
The MIRAGE KIDSTA
™
NASAL MASK is
intended for multipatient use for children
aged seven and over, prescribed
continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel therapy in hospital, clinic
and/or home environments.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
Note: The mask system does not contain
latex materials. If you have ANY reaction to
any part of the mask system, discontinue
use and consult your sleep therapist.
. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• Your physician should determine the
degree of arousability before
commencing CPAP treatment. Use of
secondary sensing devices such as
apnoea monitors and transcutaneous
carbon dioxide monitors is advisable.
These will help determine whether
nasal CPAP treatment should be
applied.
• Ensure that the nasal cushion does not
block the nostrils at any time during
fitting or use.
• The MIRAGE KIDSTA is designed to
provide a stable, effective air seal with
minimum headgear tension. High
headgear tension may lead to facial
deformities with long-term use. Regular
clinician review of growth patterns and
the use of different styles of mask is
recommended.
• The mask contains small parts which
could result in a choking risk. Your
clinician should assess the suitability of
the selected mask.
• This mask should be used only with
flow generators recommended by your
physician or respiratory therapist. A
mask should not be used unless the
flow generator is turned on and
operating properly. The exhaust vent
should never be blocked.
Explanation of the Warning: Flow
generators are intended to be used
with special masks with connectors
which may have vent holes or separate
exhaust vents to allow continuous flow
of air out of the mask. When the flow
generator is turned on and functioning
properly, new air from the flow
generator flushes the exhaled air out
through the attached mask exhaust
vent. However, when the flow
generator is not operating, enough
fresh air will not be provided through
the mask, and exhaled air may be
rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air
for longer than several minutes can in
some circumstances lead to suffocation.
This warning applies to most models of
flow generators.
