Alvera AirStrap Headgear for AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 Full Face Masks

Alvera AirStrap headgear is a compatible spare headgear for AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 full face masks. Headgear is the part of a mask nobody thinks about until the seal stops working. Straps stretch gradually with washing, body heat and nightly tension, and because the change happens over months rather than overnight, the wearer compensates by pulling everything tighter. That is the wrong fix: overtightened headgear distorts the cushion, presses on the bridge of the nose and creates the leak it was tightening to stop. Fitting fresh headgear restores the original tension and usually solves a leak that was being blamed on the cushion.

Where the headgear carries magnetic clips

F20 masks are commonly supplied with magnetic headgear clips. Where the headgear in use is fitted with magnets, keep it and the mask at least 50 mm away from any implanted or body-worn medical device or metallic implant that could be affected by a magnetic field, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, neurostimulators, cerebrospinal fluid shunts with an adjustable valve, aneurysm clips, metallic stents, cochlear implants, insulin pumps and any ferromagnetic implant. This applies to the wearer, to anyone sharing the bed and to anyone handling the mask. Magnetic clips must not be used where the wearer or a bed partner has any of the above, and the responsible clinician should be asked where there is any doubt. Where a magnet-free arrangement was chosen for a clinical reason, it should not be changed without asking that clinician first.

Check the mask before ordering

This headgear fits AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 full face masks, which share a frame. It does not fit F30, F30i or F40 masks, nor nasal or pillow masks, all of which use different frames and strap arrangements. The mask model is printed on the frame. Where the model is not certain, ask before ordering.

When to renew headgear

The usual signal is not visible damage. It is the wearer finding that the setting which worked last month no longer seals, and tightening a notch to compensate. A second notch a few weeks later means the straps have stretched, not that the face has changed.

Other signs worth acting on: red marks or soreness that are new at the same tension, a strap that will not hold its position in the adjustment tab, fabric that has gone thin, hard or bobbled at the cheek, and elastic that no longer springs back when stretched by hand. Any of those means the headgear is doing less work than it was designed to, and the cushion is taking the strain instead.

Renewing headgear on a schedule rather than waiting for failure keeps a mask working as it did when it was fitted, and it is a fraction of the cost of a complete mask.

Key features

Fits AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20, which share a frame, so one part covers both mask families.

Restores original tension, solving the gradual leak that stretched straps create and that usually gets blamed on the cushion.

Adjustable straps, accommodating different head sizes and allowing tension to be set independently at each point.

Soft fabric with padded support, reducing pressure and irritation across the cheeks and the back of the head.

Detaches for cleaning, so the headgear washes separately from the frame and cushion.

Renews the mask cheaply, since stretched headgear does not justify buying a complete mask.

Alvera own brand from Elarix Medical, supplied direct so a consumable that needs renewing every few months stays at a sensible price.

Specification limited to what is confirmed

Reference number, GTIN, headgear size and whether magnetic or standard clips are fitted are not stated here pending confirmation against the production record, and should not be assumed from the description above. Ask before ordering if any of these details is needed.

Care and renewal

Action	Detail	Interval
Wash	Hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent, squeezing rather than wringing	Weekly
Dry	Air dry away from direct sunlight, which degrades the elastic	Weekly
Remove clips first	Where clips are fitted, take them off before washing so they are not soaked	Every wash
Inspect	Check for stretched elastic, thinning fabric, and straps that will not hold position	Weekly
Check tension	Note whether the setting that used to seal still does, since creeping tightness means stretch	Monthly
Renew	Fit fresh headgear when the straps no longer hold tension, or at the interval set by the service responsible for care	Typically every three to six months

The above is general guidance for a single user. The instructions supplied with the mask take precedence. Do not use a washing machine, dishwasher, bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, fabric conditioner or scented oils on mask headgear.

Alvera range

Alvera is the own-brand accessory range from Elarix Medical, covering the consumables that sleep therapy depends on and that need renewing on a schedule. AirStrap covers headgear and strap hardware, alongside AirLink connectors and adapters, PureFlow filters, ThermaAir heated tubing, AirFlex tubing, AquaPure water chambers, AirSoft cushions and PureWipe cleaning wipes. Products are individually referenced and barcoded, so a repeat order is placed against a code rather than a description.
