Q What needs to be included on my prescription?
A If an "Rx Required" CPAP mask is the only item in your order, your prescription would only need to state for "CPAP Supplies" or "CPAP equipment". If you are purchasing other "Rx Required" products, there may be other prescription requirements that will be listed in FAQ tab of the product page.
Q Is headgear required for this item?
A Yes, headgear is required for this item. However, if your mask frame and cushion have worn out but your headgear is still functioning properly, you can purchase the assembly kit HERE.
Q Is this mask the same as the Amara View Full Face CPAP Mask?
A This mask is completely different from the Amara View Full Face CPAP Mask, in fact they have no parts in common whatsoever.
Introduction to the Amara Gel
Selecting Proper Cushion Size
Attaching and Removing Cushions
Removing the Mask
For this mask, you have the choice between the Gel and the Silicone Seal Cushion, and are welcome to choose either based on your preferences. Full face mask cushions cover much of your face and may deteriorate over time through regular wear and tear, putting you at risk for hygienic issues and improper mask usage. Therefore, you should replace your Amara Full Face Cushion, which can be purchased HERE for the Silicone and HERE for the gel, every month.
CPAP mask tubing is susceptible to developing small holes or tears which may not even be visible to the naked eye. These can cause air leaks, and if your tube is leaking, you may not be receiving your prescribed therapy setting from your CPAP. This may cause you to feel as if your sleep therapy is not working as intended, even though it is. Therefore, you should replace your tubing (Check out some tubing offered by ApriaDirect HERE) once every three months.
Your frame system is in close proximity to your face, and therefore needs to be replaced relatively frequently. However, it is not directly touching your face, which is why it doesn't need to be replaced quite so often. We do not sell the Amara Full Face Frame, but instead sell the Amara Full Face CPAP Mask Assembly Kit, which includes absolutely everything you need besides the headgear, and can be purchased HERE. The Amara Full Face CPAP Mask Assembly Kit should be replaced once every three months.
Over time, your CPAP headgear and chin straps may become stretched and lose their elasticity, leading to over-tightening and discomfort. They can also trap bacteria from sweat and moisture. Therefore, your Amara Full Face CPAP Mask Headgear should be replaced every six months. To purchase, please click HERE.
