Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel

Do you primarily breathe through your mouth or suffer from chronic nasal obstruction?

The Fisher & Paykel Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask offers the perfect alternative to all other mask types. It comes complete with nasal plugs, which you can choose to wear to get used to mouth breathing.

Featuring a unique mouthpiece cushion, the Oracle delivers airflow through your mouth instead of your nose. Keeping the SoftSeal silicone cushion in place is a single-strap headgear, providing an open line of sight, so you can wear glasses or watch TV in bed.

Setting up your Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask is a breeze. After clipping the headgear onto the mouthpiece, place the mouthpiece behind your lips and in front of your teeth.

Then, fit the outside flap into the mouthpiece and fold it over your lips. This should keep the device in place without touching or blocking your tongue.

Getting your fit right is just as easy with the rotating adjustment dial. To remove the Oracle, simply pull the Easy-Release Cord on the headgear.

How do I clean my F&P Oracle 452 Oral Mask?

Weekly cleaning: headgear

Daily cleaning: silicone seal, SnapFlap Cover

Disassemble the mask.
Soak the mask parts in warm water with mild soap. Avoid soaking for more than 10 minutes.
Rinse all parts thoroughly under running water, squeezing out excess water from the headgear.
Lay parts out to air dry away from direct sunlight.

The silicone seal can also be soaked in a solution of water (1L) and mouthwash (50 ml) for 10 minutes. Rinse well and air dry away from direct sunlight.

The diffuser does not require washing. Replace it every 2-3 months or when it becomes noisy or damaged.

How often should I replace my Oracle 452 Oral CPAP Mask?

To maintain the best fit and seal for your CPAP therapy, we recommend replacing the entire mask, including the headgear and frame, every 6 months.

My Oracle 452 CPAP mask is leaking. What should I do?

If the mask leaks around your teeth, tighten the SnapFlap Cover by rotating the dial.
Try the larger silicone seal.
Ensure you're wearing your Oracle 452 mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide. The way
you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
Wear the optional headgear and adjust as necessary.
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."

Why do I need a heated humidifier with the Oracle 452 Oral Mask?

A heated humidifier is highly recommended because your mouth doesn't naturally heat and humidify air like your nose does. Breathing through your mouth bypasses this process, making a humidifier essential for comfort.

Do I need to use the nasal plugs included with my Oracle 452 mask?

It’s recommended to use nasal plugs for the first two weeks to train your body to breathe through your mouth.

After two weeks, you can stop using the nasal plugs. If you choose not to use them, replace the non-rebreathing valve with the included swivel.

The ad does not tell you that you must block your nose (at least at first) to use this. It came with 2 sizes of nostril plugs (neither of which worked). I bought a nose clip (for swimming) and it is most uncomfortable.

The mask itself was very good. it fit well and I had no issues keeping the mask in my mouth. Using the nose clip to prevent breathing through the nose was a bit painful, but you only have to keep using it until you get used to breathing exclusively through your mouth.

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 really like this mask, but I really got dry mouth with it, I am waiting on the arrival of a new machine,and I hope that will help. Other than that, I slept great, I love the fact you don't need the headgear with it.

Purchased this mask for my boyfriend who has sleep apnea, prior to this he was using your full face mask and he don't like it very much. He liked this better because, he breath thru his mouth when he sleeps and when he started using Oracle 452 he has not complained at ll he is actually loving it, and been having a restful night.

As everybody in the word sleep different, I am greatly appreciative of theFisher Paykel Oracle 452 CPAP, as I am a know as a mouth breather. This product is so perfect me and any one who may breathe threw there mouth as they sleep. Most of all this is a safe product that will give you great comfort as you sleep giving you no worries as you complete your therapy. Can't be beat.
