Due to the Amara View's under-the-nose design, it will not leave an abrasion on the bridge of your nose. The Amara View was designed to be sleek and forgo any type of forehead support making it a small and light sleep apnea mask.
If you wear glasses, watch TV, use a tablet/computer, or even read before falling asleep you can rejoice! Your field of vision is not compromised as it only takes up a small portion of your face allowing the user to enjoy the "view" with the Amara View.
Comfortable Silicone Full Face Amara View Cushion
With comfort in mind, the Amara mask cushion will rest comfortably under your nose and on your face, while still providing a great seal without any air leaks. The nostril opening allows pressure into the nostril without causing irritation as a traditional nasal pillow would.
If you are unsure what cushion size you need, the Respironics Amara View comes in a FitPack option. It will come with 3 different size cushions, so you will be able to find out which cushion size gives you the best fit. This FitPack option is recommended if you are unsure of your size. All options, whether you chose the FitPack or not will include both the mask and headgear.
Amara View Headgear is Adjustable
Having a four-point adjustment around the mask and a fifth adjustment on the crown of your head makes the Amara View headgear quite innovative. It rests on your head helping to reduce discomfort during CPAP therapy. The headgear was designed to promote a secure fit and evenly apply pressure with different adjustments available. The crown strap crosses over the top thus creating a halo shape behind the user's head.
Headgear Clips with a Quick Release
We all go through difficulties in the middle of the night when we have to take off our CPAP masks. With the quick-release clips, you will no longer have to experience that difficulty. Simply rotate the clip and lift it from your face. Afraid you might apply too much pressure and break a clip? You can wear the
Respironics Amara View CPAP mask even without the use of the clips making it easy to re-apply the mask and fall back asleep swiftly.
Hose positioning
The hose on the Amara View is placed at the front of the face. This makes it a great mask for a side sleeper and people who move around a lot in their sleep. It is cost-effective and ergonomic.
You've voiced your concern and Philips Respironics has listened. Say goodbye to buying multiple masks! The Philips Respironics Amara View features a universal mask frame so you will know that any cushion size will fit properly. This is a huge step forward as it will be more convenient for the user to simply replace the cushion with any size needed. No more having to re-purchase a complete mask set just because the cushion needs to be replaced.
The user must keep their nose above the nostril opening and not let it fall through the crevice of the cushion. Sleep therapy can and will be compromised if the nose is not securely placed over the opening.
Interchangeable: The mask frame is compatible with all cushion sizes. The cushion just snaps right into the frame.
Is this mask compatible with my tubing and CPAP machine?
Respironics has standardized all of their CPAP equipment, including CPAP machines, CPAP masks, and tubes to fit on other manufacturers' devices if you desire. Tubing cuff sizes have been standardized to 22 millimeters.
Can I purchase replacement cushions?
Yes, you can purchase replacement cushions for the Amara View Full Face Mask. There are three different sizes available, small, medium, and large.
