Original Gel Cushion and SST Flap for ComfortGel Nasal CPAP Masks
Original ComfortGel Nasal Cushion & SST Overview
This is the replacement Gel Cushion and SST Flap for the ComfortGel and ComfortGel Blue Nasal Masks. The patented blue gel cushion provides both comfort and softness, while the SST flap creates the solid seal you're looking for.
The cushion and accompanying SST flap are available in sizes: petite, small, medium, and large. For a more custom fit, the gel cushion can be boiled so that the mask adapts to the curves of your face.
For more information on this process, see Philips' Guide to Customizing the ComfortGel Cushion

- 1 SST Flap in Selected Size
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
Where do I find the size?
The size of the gel cushion and the SST flap is located on the bottom of the gel cushion, where the mask frame and nasal cushion connect. If the mask is a size small, medium, or large, the letter indicating the size of the mask will be black. If the cushion is petite, a blue letter will indicated the size of the cushion.
If the user removes the gel cushion from the SST flap, the size will not be identifiable. The size of the gel cushion is not recorded, yet it directly corresponds to the size written on the silicone flap.
System One Resistance ControlResistance 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 you PR System One CPAP Machine.
