Frequently asked questions
A CPAP prescription is required for an AirTouch F40. Cost and coverage vary by insurance provider and plan. After your doctor has provided you with a prescription, we recommend first contacting your insurance provider to learn more about what’s covered under your plan. Then you can find CPAP stores near you or online.
Both masks use the F40 platform and are designed to provide a compact, under-the-nose full-face experience. The key difference is the cushion. AirTouch F40 features a ComfiSoft fabric cushion for a softer feel against your skin, while AirFit F40 uses an AdaptiSeal silicone cushion.
Yes. The flexible, compact design is intended to give you freedom to move and change sleeping positions throughout the night.
You should clean the cushion, elbow and short tube, including the QuietAir diffused venting daily. The headgear and frame only require weekly cleaning. Facial oil and dirt can easily build up on your mask parts when they’re not cleaned properly, which can lead to skin irritation. The good news? Cleaning your mask doesn’t take long, so working it into your morning routine should be a breeze.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MASK
Supplies you’ll need to clean your mask:
- Sink or tub
- Warm, drinking-quality water (86°F / 30°C)
- Mild liquid detergent
- Towel
Step-by-step cleaning tips:
- Unplug your CPAP machine from the power source and disconnect your mask/tubing from your machine.
- Disassemble your mask:
- Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull the headgear from the frame. Keep the magnetic clips attached to the lower headgear straps.
- Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the vent ring.
- Pull the cushion stud out of the frame stud hole, repeat on the other side.
- Pull the vent ring from the cushion.
- Soak the components in warm water with a mild liquid detergent. Ensure that there are no air bubbles while soaking.
- Shake the components vigorously in the water and hand wash with a soft bristle brush. For the AirTouch F40 cushion, hand wash only without a bristle brush.
- Thoroughly rinse the components under running water.
- Squeeze the fabric components to remove excess water.
- Leave the components on the towel to air dry out of direct sunlight.

The study enrolled 36 adults who had been on PAP therapy for OSA (≥3 months) and were using other full-face masks, including the AirFit F20 (n=14), AirTouch F20 (n=8), AirFit F30i (n=7), Mirage Quattro (n=2), AirFit F30 (n=1), AirFit F40 (n=1), F&P Vitera (n=1), Quattro Air Series (n=1), and Other (n=1).

Across the six studies, 167 adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who had been using PAP therapy for at least 3 to 6 months were enrolled, with 161 participants completing the evaluation period. Participants trialed each mask system in randomized order for up to seven nights and completed standardized questionnaires assessing comfort, seal, usability, performance and preference. Objective therapy data were collected from participants’ own PAP devices or supplied AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 devices. The studies were conducted in Sydney, Australia, between September 2020 and October 2025.
