Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo. Let the mask air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning after use. This removes the oils left behind from your skin which can reduce the lifespan of your mask. We recommend using Mask Wipes to make daily morning cleaning easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.
For customers who want to completely disinfect their mask and accessories, there's an even better option than wipes. The Lumin Mask and Accessories Cleaner uses powerful UV light to disinfect, killing almost all bacteria almost instantly. It's not a cleaner and doesn't scrub or wash anything, but for simple disinfecting the Lumin works great!

The silicone cushion should be replaced once every three to six months.
Where do I find the size?
The mask frame size is located in three separate locations.
- Turn the mask upside down. The flat bottom of the mask frame and mask cushion should be facing you. The size of the mask frame is indicated by a clear letter embossed between the ports cap and the edge of the mask frame.
- Turn the mask so it faces you. Look below the swivel to identify a blue letter, which represents the size of the mask frame.
- With the mask facing you, locate the lower connection points for the headgear. A clear letter is embossed on the top of the connection point, where the headgear clip meets the mask frame.
- The full face cushion's size is located on the flat bottom of the cushion. Turn the mask upside down with the headgear facing away from you. Located on the bottom silicone flap to the right side of the name of the mask, an embossed clear letter will specify the size of the full face cushion. The letter is larger than the word ResMed and Quattro™ FX.
The Mirage Quattro and Quattro FX mask frames, cushion clips and cushions are NOT interchangeable. Individual cushions are NOT interchangeable within each mask. The size must correspond for the mask to work properly. For more information visit the Mirage Quattro FX Full Face Mask Cushion and Clip.
