Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel
Introducing the Oracle 452, Fisher & Paykel's unique oral CPAP face mask. The Oracle 452 Oral Mask delivers pressure through your mouth instead of your nose, providing ideal therapy for mouth-breathers and users who are sick, or those who suffer from nasal obstruction and cannot use or do not like nasal masks, nasal pillows, or full-face masks. The comfortable Oracle CPAP mask does not obstruct your eyes, allowing you a clear field of vision when you use this product.
Comfortable Oral Face Mask is Easy to Use
Setting up your Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask is a breeze. Simply place the mouthpiece, which comes in two different sizes (small and large) for your convenience, behind your lips and in front of your teeth. Then, fit the outside flap into the mouthpiece, and then fold it over your lips. This should keep the device in place without touching or blocking your tongue. Removing the Oracle is easy as well: Just pull the Easy-Release Cord to take your mask off.
Quiet Air Diffusion
This may be an oral face mask, but that doesn't make it any louder. In fact, Fisher and Paykel designed the Oracle 452 to be a quiet CPAP mask. The Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask comes with a filter to stifle noise, and exhalation holes near the elbow of the device to help diffuse air away from you and your partner.
Single Strap Headgear
Tired of obtrusive, uncomfortable, and invasive headgear? The Oracle's single-strap headgear is small and lightweight, wrapping around your neck at chin height. With just one strap, the rest of your face is unobstructed, and you'll have zero vision impairment with this CPAP mask. This works great if you do not like too much headgear and hardware on your face.
Rotating Adjustment Dial
If you've ever felt frustrated by your inability to properly adjust your CPAP mask, fear not. Fisher and Paykel have developed an innovative and much-welcomed solution for those who just can't quite get their mask to fit: a rotating adjustment dial. The dial can be literally rotated, letting you tighten or loosen the fit between the headgear strap and the mouthpiece. Simply slide your fingers up and down the dial to adjust the fit - just be sure to maintain proper pressure on the dial as you move it!
Note: The Oracle CPAP mask comes with nose plugs which help users acclimate to mouth breathing during sleep.
FAQ
Do I have to use the nasal plugs?
No, but we recommend that you use them while you adjust to the mask. If you breathe primarily through your mouth, or if you suffer from chronic nasal congestion, the nose plugs will probably not be necessary.
Do I need a heated humidifier with the Oracle mask?
Yes, you'll really want to use heated humidification with the Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask. More so than with most masks, you'll wake up with an excessively dry mouth if you don't use a humidifier.
Can I use any CPAP machine with the Oracle mask?
Yes, the Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask is compatible with all CPAP and BiPAP machines except the ResMed AirMini.

Je suis ravie de ce masque oral, même si je l'utilise à ma façon!
Voici les points +++
- Facilité d'emploi: masque peu encombrant, non invasif
- Pas de sentiment de "masque", ni d'étouffement
- Pas d'envahissement de toute la figure
- Sangle autour de la tête non nécessaire durant l'utilisation nocturne.
- Pas de difficultés à dormir sur les côtés, ou sur le dos
Voici le seul point négatif
- Les embouts nasaux fournis ne sont pas efficaces: ils laissent passer l'air!
Solution trouvée+++
- En lieu et place des embouts nasaux, j'utilise des "bouchons pour oreilles", en mousse ( marque 3M)
- En plus, pour que l'air ne passe pas du tout, j'y ajoute un morceau de pansement transparent, découpé à la bonne taille, de la marque Comfeel ( 3536)
- J'utilise aussi le tube thermochauffant prévu par Fisher and Paykel .
- Pour parfaire le tout, avant d'aller dormir, j'emploie un gel buccal hydratant.
Conclusions +++
- Avec ces adaptations, tout va bien!
- Plus d'apnées, plus de réveils nocturnes
- Pas d'ennuis de bouche sèche
- Et pour ne rien gâcher, un nez parfaitement dégagé en journée... ( Ce que je n'avais jamais avant!)
Ce masque vaut qu'on s'y intéresse et qu'on l'adapte à sa façon! je lui mets 4 étoiles ( à cause des embouts nasaux non efficaces)
I have nasal problems and cannot wear a nasal mask.
The Oracle 452 suits my needs, never any problems with
leakage, it is light weight and is also great for side sleepers.
Unfortunately, this ultimately did not work well for me as I needed to use an oral appliance to align my jaw in addition to a CPAP. This did not allow for it. However, just because it did not work well for me does not mean it won't work for you.
If you are predominately a mouth-breather or suffer from severe nasal congestion due to allergies that prevent you from using a nasal mask on a regular basis, then this might be a good option for you.
I like the idea of this mask, but the way that the inner seal connects to the mask becomes uncomfortable very quickly. The hard plastic inner frame piece stays in between my front teeth, and eventually I will lose a tooth or bite through it. Wearing the mask improperly alleviates this, but I can't recommend intentionally wearing the mask improperly.
Hello Ron,
I am sorry to hear the mask is not working for you! I see you have not used our 30 Day Mask Assurance Program. Feel free to give us a call to utilize the program and discuss a mask that may work for you!
oh well
