OptiLife features a unique headgear design and a chin support band that allows it to be easily put on and adjusted with little effort and no buckles. In fact, OptiLife is so easy-to-use that the mask can be put into place with one hand. Plus, OptiLife is easy-to-clean and maintain, and its durable enough to stand up to the real-world demands of daily use.
Each OptiLife Nasal Interface comes complete with four cushion sizes (P,S, M, L), headgear and a tube management clip.
How does the OptiLife work?
The OptiLife relies on a soft, pillows cushion that gently seals inside the nostrils. The cushion seal is supported by the chin support band, and, to a lesser extent, the nose. By using the chin to support the mask seal, the OptiLife reduces the pressure on the upper lip and nasal area, providing a comfortable yet stable cushion support.
How does the OptiLife compare to other pillows or prongs products?
Unlike most pillows or prongs-style products that solely use the nose to support the seal, the OptiLife relies on a chin support band that provides a soft foundation for the seal and further eliminates unnecessary nasal irritation, pressure or pulling.
Can OptiLife be used with other manufacturers CPAP Machines?
Yes, the OptiLife can be used with all popular CPAP machines, including machines made by Respironics, Resmed, Fisher Paykel.
How should the OptiLife be worn?
The OptiLife pillows cushion should be inserted slightly into the nostrils so that it fills the nostrils comfortably without any gaps between the cushion and the nostril walls. For the headgear, the back strap should be positioned on the back of the head, the adjustable top strap should be positioned on the top of the head, and the side straps should be positioned above the ears. The chin support band should rest snugly against the chin. The black side of the headgear and chin support band should rest against the skin, with the blue side facing out.
What information comes with the OptiLife?
The OptiLife nasal interface includes a pictorial quick fitting guide and an instruction manual. Inserted in the instruction manual are a registration card, a replacement reminder card and a reminder sticker that can help track and manage supply replacement needs.
Is it possible to read or watch TV while wearing the OptiLife?
Yes, the low-profile design of the OptiLife makes it perfect for reading or watching television before going to sleep.
Is the OptiLife quiet?
The exhalation port located on the front of the interface makes the OptiLife exceptionally quiet. The port is specifically designed to disperse air for a quiet flow of exhalation. Our trial participants were very impressed by the low level of noise created by the diffusion port, particularly when compared to similar competitive products.
