Features of the ResMed AirTouch N30i Nasal Mask
ComfiSoft Nasal Cushion
The under-the-nose design of the nasal cushion is comfortable and soft, providing a secure seal. This innovative cushion fuses fabric and silicone that was made to feel incredibly soft and natural while still delivering effective CPAP treatment.
Fabric-Wrapped SpringFit Frame
The frame of the Airtouch N30i is flexible yet secure to enhance the overall fit and feel of the mask. It is fully wrapped in a soft and breathable fabric, ResMed’s new innovative design, that is light and gentle on the face. It enhances a natural feel and extreme comfort to improve overall CPAP success.
Tube Up Design
This mask features a top-of-the-head tubing connection that keeps it out of a user's way while giving users freedom of movement, allowing users to sleep in any position. This part also includes the quick-release elbow that allows users to easily disconnect from therapy in case they need to get up in the middle of the night.
QuietAir Venting
The cushion is equipped with QuietAir technology located on the front of the cushion. QuietAIr is diffused venting, designed to diffuse noise coming from the mask. This results in a more peaceful sleeping environment for both the CPAP patient and their bed partner.
Adjustable Headgear
The headgear of the N30i is soft and highly adjustable, equipped with two side bands that give users the ability to adjust the overall fit to their liking, tightening or loosening the straps. This style of headgear sits comfortably on the back of the head (or in some cases underneath long hair, depending on what feels best for the CPAP user) to maximize CPAP comfort and effectiveness.
Customer Review of the AirTouch N30i
"I was given a sample of this mask in a medium (I'm usually a small) and tried it out for 5 nights. First, I tried it with an AirMini for two nights & then with an AirSense 10 for three nights. I typically use the new F&P Solo Nasal Mask, and I have never tried an over -the-top-tube connection before. I have to say, I really like it. While I didn't think the tubing at the top of the head would make much difference as I don't mind moving the tube out of my way, it really was freeing. The fabric construction on this headgear is soft, comfortable and not hot to the head. I love the fabric on the nasal cushion! It is so soft and helps resist movement across my nose. Even wearing a medium instead of a small, I was able to get a great seal and a good night's sleep. One note: there was an increase in noise from the mask based on the machine I used, with the AirMini being louder (which is typical for a travel machine anyway) and the Airsense 10 being minimal noise." - Review by Holly
How to Fit the AirTouch N30i
- Pull the frame and headgear over the head so the elbow sits on top of it and the headgear is positioned behind the head.
- Place the cushion under the nose. Tighten or loosen the headgear straps until the cushion fits comfortably.
- Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach it from the frame.
- Connect the air tubing from the device to the elbow.
- Reattach the elbow to the frame.
- Wear longer hair over the top of the headgear for the best fit.
