Cleaning and Maintenance of the Mirage Micro™ Nasal Mask Cushion

Proper cleaning and maintenance of the Mirage Micro Nasal Cushion are essential to ensure optimal performance, hygiene, and longevity of your CPAP therapy. Follow these detailed steps to keep your nasal cushion in excellent condition:

Daily Cleaning

• Disassemble the Mirage Micro Mask: Remove the nasal cushion from the mask frame carefully Separate the headgear and other detachable parts.
• Wash the Cushion: Use warm water and a mild, non-antibacterial soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or strong detergents as they can damage the cushion material. Gently rub the cushion with your fingers to remove any oils or debris.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the cushion under running warm water to remove all soap residue. Ensure there is no soap left on the cushion, as it can cause skin irritation and degrade the cushion material.
• Dry Completely: Place the cushion on a clean, dry towel and let it air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer or place the cushion near a heating source as high temperatures can warp the material.

Weekly Cleaning

• Deep Clean the Mask Components: Once a week, disassemble the entire mask, including the frame, headgear, and elbow. Soak all parts in warm water with mild soap for about 30 minutes.
• Brush and Rinse: Use a soft brush to clean hard-to-reach areas and remove any built-up residue. Rinse each part thoroughly under warm running water.
• Sanitize: Use a ResMed Mirage Micro mask wipe or a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts water to disinfect the cushion and other mask parts. Rinse well after sanitizing to remove any vinegar smell or residue.
• Dry All Parts: Lay out all the mask components on a clean towel to air dry completely. Reassemble the mask only after all parts are thoroughly dry to prevent mold and bacteria growth.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect Regularly: Check the cushion and other replacement parts for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, tears, or discoloration. Replace the cushion and any other damaged parts as needed to maintain the effectiveness of your CPAP therapy.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store the nasal cushion and mask in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
• Handle with Care: When removing or attaching the cushion, handle it gently to avoid stretching or tearing the material.
