  • The idea of CPAP therapy can be daunting, especially for a newly diagnosed CPAP user. The challenge was to design solution to make staying on therapy easy. We want users to feel confident wearing their mask around loved ones, a mask that won’t feel intimidating and add additional barriers to compliant therapy. A mask with a unique combination of comfort, performance and easy-to-use features packed into a simple and discreet minimalist design.

  • CPAP users can feel confident wearing this mask around loved ones because it's small, lightweight and features QuietAir™ diffused vent technology that breaks up exhaled air to minimise sleep disruptions. AirFit™ N30 is a well-rounded mask created to have it all - a unique combination of comfort, performance and easy-to-use features packed into a simple and minimalist design. Its under-the-nose nasal cradle cushion is colour-coded for size, and made from a soft silicone material that conforms to the shape of users' nose. Its adjustable QuickFit™ elastic headgear with split strap aims to provide stability and adjustability with minimal facial contact.

  • By responding to the users' needs and wants, the ResMed AirFit™ N30 aims to improve the quality of life of people who suffer from sleep apnoea. It minimises bulk and contact on the face, is quiet, diffuse and simple to setup and use, allowing CPAP users and their partners a more natural sleep. AirFit™ N30 is about comfort with the curved nasal cushion gently hugging the nostrils and its soft silicone giving flexibility to allow the cushion to conform to different nose shapes and sizes. This helps people ease into therapy and addresses the most common pain points for users.

  • ResMed’s lightest mask yet, AirFit™ N30 features an adjustable elastic headgear, plus a nasal cradle cushion that sits under the nasal bridge, eliminating soreness in that area. The mask’s curved cushion is designed to provide a secure seal regardless of how the wearer sleeps or moves. Coupled with ResMed’s QuietAir™ Technology - diffused vent technology that breaks up exhaled air to help minimise sleep disruptions. The adjustable QuickFit™ elastic headgear with split strap aims to provide stability and adjustability with minimal facial contact. These innovations help make starting and staying on CPAP therapy easier than ever for more of the estimated 936 million people worldwide living with sleep apnea. While many masks excel in one or two areas, AirFit™ N30 is a well-rounded mask that has been created to have it all - a unique combination of comfort, performance and easy-to-use features packed into a simple and discreet minimalist design. And when paired with ResMed myAir™, users can keep track of their therapy progress with a daily sleep score of usage with the mask. With the right mask and engagement level, users may feel empowered to take charge of their therapy, which may help improve their therapy adherence.
