Product Overview
The gel-filled cushion conforms around the nose and uses the SST flap to create a consistent seal all night. The gel technology allows for a greater variety in facial features such as facial hair.
Manufactured by Philips Respironics.
Product Features
Improved Gel Cushion Technology. The ComfortGel Blue continues to use a dual, gel cushion and silicone flap system. Respironics has improved the ComfortGel material. The gel is now softer and conforms to your face with greater ease. Use the separate silicone membrane that snaps on, over the gel cushion, to increase the life of the cushion and provides a unique Sure Seal Technology (SST), contouring a seal around the Gel Cushion.
Silicone Cushion Flap. Does your mask get worn and "mushy" too quickly? Use the separate silicone membrane that snaps on over the gel cushion to increase the life of the cushion. The unique Sure Seal Technology (SST) contours and seals around the ComfortGel cushion.
System One Resistance Control. Respironics wanted a machine to achieve optimal pressure no matter which mask is used. Resistance Control is the solution, a numbering system on all of Respironics CPAP masks based on variable resistance characteristics. Each number instructs the device to compensate for different mask types. The result? A consistent and reliable pressure enhanced with all the benefits of Flex Technology no matter which mask is used.

Important Tips
DO NOT BOIL CUSHION
'Blue' Gel Technology is engineered to conform to facial features without the need to boil the cushion. Unlike the Original ComfortGel Nasal CPAP mask, the ComfortGel Blue cushion cannot be boiled. If you have any problems with size or fitting, please call our toll free number 800-356-5221 for assistance from a CPAP expert or select the Original Gel Cushion for ComfortGel and ComfortGel Blue Nasal CPAP Masks.
Replacing Mask Frames and Cushion with SST Flap
ComfortGel and ComfortGel Blue mask frames and cushions are interchangeable, but the cushion and frame must be the same size. ComfortGel Blue Cushion for ComfortGel Nasal CPAP Masks will work with either mask.
- Large frame = Large cushion and flap
- Small/Medium frame = Medium cushion and flap
- Small/Medium frame = Small cushion and flap
- Petite frame = Petite cushion and flap
The same size silicone flap must be used to secure the gel cushion to the frame.
Where do I find the size?
To find the size of the nasal cushion, turn the mask so that you are looking directly at the bottom of the nasal cushion. The gel cushion does not have an identifiable size. Use the letter indicated on the silicone flap to determine the size of the nasal gel cushion.
The nasal cushion is replaceable.
Sizing Indicator Update 2015: In 2015, Philips Respironics changed the sizing indicator on the silicone flap for ComfortGel Blue Series Nasal and Full Face Masks.
- Previous to 2015: A black letter is printed on the bottom of the flap to indicate the size.
- Current Design: A raised, clear letter is embossed on the bottom of the flap to show the size.
System One Resistance Control
Resistance Control is a numbering system on all new Respironics CPAP masks and based on variable resistance characteristics. Each number instructs the device to compensate for different mask types. The result is a consistent and reliable pressure, enhanced with all the benefits of Flex Technology, no matter which mask is used.
You can find the Resistance Control number next to the size indicator on the SST FLap. The size of the frame, cushion, or flap is printed or embossed on each individual part. An example of the size indicator is a printed "L" meaning the replacement part is a size "Large." Use the number next to the Size for use with yout PR System One CPAP Machine. The ComfortGel Original SST Flap DOES NOT come with the Restistance Control number printed on the SST Flap.
