Nasal Mask
The MIRAGE ACTIVA™ mask is an accessory to a non-continuous
ventilator (respirator), intended for multi-patient use for adult
patients 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.
WARNINGS
• This mask should be used only with CPAP or bilevel systems
recommended by your physician or respiratory therapist. A
mask should not be used unless the CPAP or bilevel system is
turned on and operating properly. The exhalation device
should never be blocked.
Explanation of the Warning: CPAP or bilevel systems are
intended to be used with special masks with connectors
which have vent holes or separate exhalation devices to allow
continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP or
bilevel device is turned on and functioning properly, new air
from the flow generator flushes the exhaled air out through
the attached mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP
or bilevel device 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
