Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed forehead support (part 16562) for the original Ultra Mirage nasal mask — the adjustable arm that carries the forehead pad and stabilizes the mask against your forehead. It offers easy one-handed adjustment across clearly numbered positions, so you can fine-tune the angle for a better seal and comfort without over-tightening. Does not include forehead pads (ordered separately). Important: this is for the original Ultra Mirage nasal mask — it is not compatible with the Ultra Mirage II (which uses forehead support 16590). No prescription required.
⚠️ Important — original Ultra Mirage vs Ultra Mirage II
Order by your exact mask:
- 16562 (this) — forehead support for the original (first-model) Ultra Mirage nasal mask. Not compatible with the Ultra Mirage II.
- 16590 — forehead support (with pads) for the Ultra Mirage II nasal mask.
If your mask is the Ultra Mirage II, this part (16562) is not the right one — you need 16590. Check your mask model before ordering; contact us if unsure.
What's included
- 1 × ResMed Ultra Mirage forehead support (part 16562)
Not included: forehead pads (order separately — 60123 1-pack / 60124 10-pack).
About this part
The forehead support is the adjustable arm at the top of the mask that holds the forehead pad and braces the mask against your forehead — spreading pressure and stabilizing the seal:
- Better seal + stability — supports the mask so the cushion seats correctly on your nose.
- Easy one-handed adjustment — a series of clearly numbered positions lets you set the forehead angle without tools; increasing the angle can relieve pressure on the bridge of the nose.
- Restores fit — replace it when it's cracked, loose, or won't hold its adjustment.
- Pads separate — this is the support arm only; the soft forehead pads (60123/60124) are ordered separately.
Compatibility: the original ResMed Ultra Mirage nasal mask. Not the Ultra Mirage II (use 16590), and not the Ultra Mirage Full Face.
