SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- ResMed (NYSE: RMD) expands its ultra-light,
comfortable, and award-winning AirFit™ line of masks today
with new nasal and full face options. The AirFit F10 compact
full face mask and AirFit N10 compact nasal mask continue
the company's 25-year history of innovating comfortable and
effective solutions for treating sleep-disordered breathing.
"These new masks embody the AirFit brand, which is all
about providing patients with lightweight, comfortable, and trusted
solutions for treating their sleep-disordered breathing," said
Jon Yerbury, vice president of
ResMed's Sleep-Disordered Breathing Strategic Business Unit. "We
know that if the mask isn't right, nothing else matters; mask
comfort is the key to staying on therapy. Like all of our masks,
we've invested in decades of research to ensure patient-centric
designs are at the very core of the AirFit brand."
AirFit F10 is the Lightest Compact Full Face Mask on the
Market
The AirFit F10 delivers comfort, stability, and
performance in a simple and elegant design, and has all the
benefits of a traditional full face mask in a compact form.
Patients will also benefit from its circular diffused venting that
directs exhaled air more evenly and makes it less likely to rebound
off surrounding objects or bed partners, creating a more peaceful
sleeping environment.
In ResMed testing, patients preferred the AirFit F10 over
ResMed's leading compact full face mask in terms of seal, comfort,
stability, and ease of use. The AirFit F10 is the lightest
full face mask on the market, and its four-piece design makes it
easy to clean and maintain.
The absence of a forehead support makes the AirFit F10
unobtrusive without sacrificing stability, and an audible
three-click cushion-to-frame retention system improves usability.
The mask's dual-wall Spring Air™ cushion provides a comfortable and
reliable seal by gently conforming to the face.
AirFit N10 Offers Simplified Fitting and Clear Line of
Sight
The lightweight AirFit N10 compact nasal mask stands out
with its comfort and visual freedom in a user-friendly design. In
ResMed testing, patients preferred the AirFit N10 over other
industry-leading nasal masks in terms of ease of use, comfort,
unobtrusiveness, and stability.
At less than 3 ounces, the AirFit N10 has a sleek
under-eye frame that offers unobtrusive support without sacrificing
stability, and as a result, provides a clear line of sight. Its
modified dual-wall Spring Air cushion provides a comfortable and
effective seal, while EasyClick headgear clips make it convenient
to wear by securing the headgear to the frame with ease. Integrated
lightweight, flexible tubing and minimal parts add to the nasal
mask's appeal.
A Variety of Sizes for the Perfect Fit
The AirFit F10 and AirFit N10 masks come in a
variety of sizes and are also available in For Her versions,
designed specifically for female patients and their unique anatomy.
Both masks feature SoftEdge™ headgear for added comfort.
The AirFit F10 comes in small, medium, and large sizes
with blue headgear, and For Her versions with pink headgear in
sizes extra small, small, and medium.
The AirFit N10 is available in small, standard, and wide
sizes with blue headgear, and a For Her version with pink headgear
in size small.
ResMed's AirFit F10 and AirFit N10 begin
shipping in the U.S., Canada, and
Latin America today. They join the
award-winning AirFit P10, a nasal pillows mask, launched in
early 2014. The AirFit P10 recently earned a prestigious Red
Dot Product Design Award for 2014. Red Dot is the world's largest
design competition.
