ResMed 61722 Quattro FX FFM Replacement Nasal Cushion Medium

• Model: 61722
• Size: Medium

The ResMed 61722 Medium Quattro FX Cushion is a replacement cushion component designed for users of the Quattro FX full face CPAP masks, including the “For Her” version. Its Dual‑Wall Spring‑Air™ design features two air chambers with a softer outer membrane that inflates gently with airflow to help maintain seal even when the user moves during sleep. This adaptive seal helps reduce leaks that commonly occur around the mouth or nasal bridge, especially in side sleeping or if facial movement shifts the mask slightly. The cushion’s medium size aligns with the medium frame of the mask; ResMed's sizing is strict here—medium cushions are not interchangeable with small or large frames.

Comfort is a central design goal of this cushion. The silicone material is soft against the face and conforming, aiming to reduce pressure points that users often complain about, especially around the nose bridge, cheeks, and forehead. The Dual‑Wall technology helps distribute pressure more evenly, which can reduce discomfort during long nights or with higher CPAP pressures. The cushion is also designed to be relatively easy to remove and clean; hygiene matters because cushion fit can degrade with oil, residue, or stretching over time. Using the cushion with properly sized headgear and adjusting tension helps maintain seal without overtightening, which can lead to soreness or skin irritation. 61722

On the flip side, there are trade‑offs to keep in mind. Full face cushions like this one cover a larger portion of the face, which increases internal volume (dead space), and that can sometimes lead to a feeling of more resistance or less efficient CO₂ clearance, particularly if mask airflow or CPAP‑settings are not well‑matched. The need to match cushion size to frame exactly means that using the wrong size can result in poor fit, more leaks, or discomfort. Also, silicone cushions will gradually lose elasticity with repeated cleaning, exposure to skin oils, and time; even though it’s recommended to replace monthly, many users try to extend use, but that often leads to reduced performance. Real‑world users often report that when the cushion gets old or starts to show creases, leaks increase or comfort decreases noticeably. Regular checking for those signs is important.
