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.

Prescription Required

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.

Q. Do u bill Humana

A. Sorry no, you would need to contact your insurance regarding coverage or reimbursement first before placing an order with us as we cannot bill insurance directly.

Be sure to confirm with your insurance company these questions:
1. Do you accept a paper claim?
2. What documentation will I need to send with my claim?
3. Will I need to add any modifiers to my claim?
4. May I purchase the CPAP machine and still have it covered?
5. Is Respshop in-network or will I be paying out of pocket for this claim?

Q. If you choose to use the oral Cpap device, do you lose the advantage if nitrous oxide gained by nasal breathing? Are there known health disadvantages?

A. The mask does come with nasal plugs, however, they may not work for everyone and may cause some discomfort. I am unaware of any health disadvantages. If you would like a mask that covers the mouth but also has the ability to direct air into the nose, we have those options as well.

Q. I am a grinder and I use a top night guard, would I be able to use the oral mask? Thank you🙂

A. You may have some difficulty using this mask or it may work fine... it really depends on individual factors and you would need to try it to find out. We do have a mask exchange policy so you can always exchange it for another one.

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.

Cela va faire une année que j'utilise ce masque oral de Fisher and Paykel, en combinaison avec l'auto-CPAP Icon de Fisher and Paykel.
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 used this mask for 8 years due to the fact that
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.

If you like a mask that is oral based then this is for you. It does a fine job if you don't want to cover your face. Suddenly I feel normal wearing this at night.

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.

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.

Subject: Oracle 452 Oral Mask
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!

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.
