APEX Wizard 310 Nasal CPAP Mask
Available in three different sizes, APEX Medical's WiZARD 310 Nasal Mask provides the utmost comfort throughout the night during CPAP therapy. This APEX mask is innovative because of the materials used to create it. A soft forehead support, a flexible frame, and a breathable headgear ensure superior comfort. The APEX WiZARD 310 comes with a forehead support for better pressure distribution, a softer silicone cushion that conforms around the nasal area, quick release clips, and a flexible tubing connector that increases your range of movement giving you more freedom.
Advanced Comfort Features
The WiZARD 310 features a more flexible mask frame compared to the rigid frames used on previous models. It is designed to contour to the facial structure of the user, so the mask is extremely comfortable. The pressure distribution technology on the 310 is phenomenal because it delivers better redistribution of pressure throughout the face rather than in one area. Paired with the flexible frame and the absence of a forehead pad, all that is left is comfort. Because of this, your chances of losing the forehead pad or having to assemble and disassemble the mask are greatly reduced. Know that the mask will rest naturally while distributing pressure evenly throughout the head area. The APEX WiZARD 310 Nasal Mask comes with a silicone cushion that is extremely soft on the face compared to older masks.
Quick Release Safety Features
The APEX WiZARD 310 consists of three parts, allowing for simple maintenance and easy replacement. The headgear features a quick release buckle that can be dismantled with one hand. The mask can be removed from the headgear quickly and easily if the situation arises. Fitting the WiZARD 310 Nasal Mask is simple and pain-free. With the snap-on cushion, assembling or cleaning the mask is an easy task. The WiZARD 310 nasal mask also has a tubing quick release function for your convenience. The design allows for the tube to be quickly connected and disconnected if the need arises during CPAP therapy.
Contoured Fit
With increased comfort, not only does the user benefit, but their bed partner also does too. The ergonomically designed cushion has multiple pressure redistribution points in the design, providing better facial support to each individual using the 310 Nasal Mask. Also, with advanced air guide vents created in the design, exhaled air will be redirected to prevent it from reaching the bed partner, allowing both people to sleep peacefully.

Reviewer's Tip
If you are adjusting the APEX WiZARD 310 Nasal Mask tight to the point that the mask is causing you pain and discomfort, you probably have the wrong mask size and should look into purchasing a different size. When first purchasing a new mask, if you are not aware of the size you need, RespShop provides a mask assurance service that allows you to return an uncomfortable or a bad fitting mask within the first 30 days. Your APEX WiZARD 310 should never be uncomfortable on your face or feel too tight on your head.
Mask Assembly
- The cushion has three different fixation points; push them firmly together to insert the cushion into the mask
- Lay the headgear on a flat surface to thread the headgear straps through the hooks on the frame, but make sure that the velcro is facing outwards
FAQ
Can I use alcohol to clean my mask?
You should never use alcohol, bleach, or any type of oil that is scented to clean your mask. These types of chemicals may cause damage to the mask and shorten its lifespan. We recommend that you use warm water and mild detergent, and wash your mask daily for the best results. We also have mask cleansing wipes that will not have any negative effects on your mask.
Why am I experiencing leaks in my APEX WiZARD 310?
There are several different reasons for leakage in the mask. Your mask might be the wrong size or might not be fitted correctly on your head. But, remember that if tightening the mask is causing you pain, you should use a different size. It is also possible that the cushion or mask in general is worn out and needs to be replaced. To maintain the mask’s condition, it is recommended that you clean the mask daily. Finally, it is also possible that the mask was assembled wrong, and you can check out the user manual for the proper way to assemble the APEX 310.

It comes in three parts in the box, but it’s very straightforward to assemble. A nice touch is the triangle notch on the top of the nose cushion which means you can only snap it in in the correct orientation. No fiddling around with the direction. There’s also a clasp on the right side which makes the mask easy to take off. If you’re someone who has to get up a lot during the night, this should make it more convenient, although you can also just disconnect the tube each time since there’s a quick release feature.
When it comes to how it fits when you sleep, it’s very comfortable and should be fine with all sleeping positions. The tubing portion is flexible and the elbow can rotate 360-degrees so you shouldn’t have any awkward pull from the hose. Of course, if you sleep on your side and face opposite your machine, the hose will lay on your arm but that’s just a limitation of the technology. This is a great no-fuss mask overall, and at a great price, so it has my recommendation.
Comfortable mask. I enjoy the forehead support the most-- My old mask had an uncomfortable bar on the forehead piece that left deep marks in the morning and made it difficult to sleep. When I was researching for new masks, I saw this mask and noticed the soft forehead piece. Just like the picture showed, the APEX Wizard mask has a comfortable forehead piece that isn't solid/hard.
The cushion on my nasal area is also comfortable and doesn't get in the way much. I believe they use some sort of contour on the cushion material so it fits my face well. Very happy about this.
But on the minus, I do get minimal leaks on this mask. Not sure if my mask is slightly defective or if it's the way I'm putting it on. I sleep on my side. The leaks don't happen every day -- sometimes it's a lot and sometimes it's none. If there were no leaks I would give this 5/5 stars.
