AdaptiSeal is ResMed's soft silicone cushion technology designed to adapt to facial contours and movement, helping maintain a comfortable seal without rigid internal cushion components.
Q3. What is the difference between ResMed AirFit F40 and AirFit F20?
The AirFit F40 features an ultra-compact under-the-nose cushion, flexible fabric-padded frame and short tube. The AirFit F20 uses a traditional full-face InfinitySeal cushion covering the nose and mouth. The F40 provides less contact with the nasal bridge.

The cushion is available in Small Wide, Medium and Large. The adjustable headgear is available in Small, Standard and Large.

Q7. Can the AirFit F40 be used with ResMed AirSense 10 or AirSense 11?
Yes, with compatible devices. Importantly, ResMed instructs users to select the Pillows mask setting for the AirFit F40 on compatible ResMed machines, despite it being a full-face mask. Follow the device compatibility guidance and prescribed treatment settings.

Yes. Standard AirFit F40 masks include magnetic headgear clips. The mask is contraindicated for users or close contacts with certain magnet-sensitive implants and medical devices.

Clean the cushion, elbow, short tube and vent ring daily or after each use. Wash the headgear and frame weekly using warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry away from direct sunlight. Keep the anti-asphyxia valve and vents clear.
