Quick answer: The ResMed Quattro Air NV is a non-vented full face mask designed for patients on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) — in the hospital or at home. Unlike a standard CPAP mask, it has no vent holes: exhalation is handled by the ventilator's active exhalation valve. It is intended for use only with active-exhaust-valve ventilators, not standard CPAP or BiLevel machines. The blue-tinted elbow identifies it as a non-vented mask. Complete system with frame, cushion, elbow, and headgear. A prescription is required.
⚠️ Important: This is a non-vented (NV) mask for ventilator use only. It must not be used with standard CPAP or BiLevel devices. Use only as directed by your clinician, with a ventilator that has an active exhalation valve.
About this mask
The Quattro Air NV is ResMed's lightest non-vented full face mask, built to deliver high-quality NIV treatment in a simple, easy-to-use design. With only five parts, it assembles and disassembles quickly and is easy to clean and prepare for multi-patient use. The dual-wall Spring Air™ cushion provides an even, stable seal that helps make initiating NIV easy and effective, while the SoftEdge™ headgear with rolled-edge fabric is gentle on the skin for long-term comfort. A quick-release elbow lets the circuit be detached easily, and a quick-release clip with cord allows fast removal in an emergency. It connects to the ventilator via a standard 22 mm fitting.

Is it compatible with my equipment?
The Quattro Air NV is for use with active-exhaust-valve ventilators only, in NIV therapy. It is not designed for standard CPAP or BiLevel machines, which require a vented mask. If you're unsure whether your setup uses a non-vented mask, confirm with your clinician before ordering. The mask is suitable for hospital and home use and can be reprocessed for multi-patient use per ResMed's instructions.
Frequently asked questions
What does "non-vented" mean? The mask has no exhalation vent holes — exhaled air is managed by the ventilator's active exhalation valve instead of through the mask. This is why it's used only with active-exhaust ventilators.
Can I use it with my CPAP machine? No. Non-vented masks must not be used with standard CPAP or BiLevel devices. They are for active-exhaust-valve ventilators only, as directed by a clinician.
Why is the elbow blue? ResMed tints the NV elbow blue to clearly identify it as a non-vented mask and avoid confusion with vented masks.
What's included? The complete system — frame, cushion, elbow, and headgear (five parts total).
Do I need a prescription? Yes — a prescription is required in the U.S.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide? Yes — Task Supply Corp offers USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S., plus local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and all five boroughs of New York City.
