Fisher & Paykel Zest Q Nasal Mask
The “Q” in Zest Q stands for quiet and that’s exactly the kind of performance this Fisher & Paykel Nasal Mask delivers. With exhalation ports cleverly positioned on the elbow, the mask limits noise to ensure uninterrupted sleep. For an even more peaceful bedroom environment, you can choose to put the air diffuser on the exhalation ports to further minimize noise.
Besides its silent operation, the Zest Q features FlexiFoam technology, which involves two layers of cushions. A soft foam cushion wraps around the nose for a secure seal, while a silicone layer covers the foam cushion, keeping it clean from face oils and enhancing the fit.
Keeping your mask seal in place all night won’t be a problem with the Zest Q. In addition to the FlexiFoam cushion, the Zest Q Nasal Mask features a Glider Strap that slides sideways to help maintain an effective seal as you change positions.
Daily cleaning: foam cushion, silicone seal, frame, elbow, swivel
- Disassemble the mask.
- Hand wash all parts except the foam cushion in warm water with mild soap. Avoid soaking the parts for more than 10 minutes.
- Wipe the foam cushion with a damp cloth.
- Rinse each part thoroughly under running water.
- Let the parts air dry away from direct sunlight.
The silicone cushion, however, may need to be replaced more frequently, typically every 2 to 3 months. Silicone naturally softens over time, which can affect its ability to create a good seal.
- Gently pull the mask away from your face and then release it, allowing the cushion seal to inflate and settle comfortably around your nose.
- Make sure to clean both your mask cushion and your face, as facial oils can interfere with the seal.
- Ensure you're wearing your Zest Q Nasal Mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide. The way you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
- Adjust your headgear as necessary.
- Try a larger or smaller cushion size.
- Replace any worn out mask parts.
If your CPAP mask still leaks after following all those troubleshooting steps, a different mask style may be a better option. Feel free to contact RespShop for assistance in choosing a different mask.
This is the 2nd I have bought and have never had any problems. I tend to interchange between this mask and the Airfir10 nasal mask. The Zest is better I find if you have a cold or are a little blocked in the nose the self adjusting mechanism beneath the nose is very clever and occasionally needs a bit of lubrication for it to slide properly. Good value for money mask.
Wss very excited to receive my new mask but I was very disappointed when I used it. It's very uncomfortable. I've adjusted several times still can't use it. I had to go back to my old mask
I am so sorry this mask did not work for you. We do have a 30 day mask assurance program. If you are within this timeframe please contact our office.
