What does Mask Fit do?

ResMed’s mask fit* feature helps you to fine-tune your patient’s mask fit before therapy even begins.

How does it work?

When the mask fit feature is activated, the device delivers the patient’s target CPAP/EPAP pressure or 10cm H20, whichever is greater, for three minutes. This gives you an opportunity to check and adjust the patient’s mask fit* in realistic conditions and lays a solid foundation for successful NIV therapy.

The mask fit feature can be used by your patients in line with clinical advice, empowering them to detect and manage mask leaks independently.
