Description
Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed replacement valve and clip assembly for the Mirage Quattro full face CPAP mask (part 61286). Full face masks include an anti-asphyxia valve — a safety component that opens to room air if the device stops delivering airflow, so you can still breathe through the mask. This assembly includes the valve and the clip that secures it. A valve that’s stuck, torn, or missing should be replaced promptly.
What’s included
- 1 × valve
- 1 × clip
Mask frame, cushion, and headgear not included.
About this part
Because a full face mask covers both the nose and the mouth, it includes an anti-asphyxia valve (AAV) as a safety feature. In normal operation, airflow from your device holds the valve closed and therapy proceeds as usual. If the airflow stops — a power cut, a disconnected hose, a device fault — the valve opens to room air so you can breathe ambient air through the mask rather than rebreathing exhaled gas.
That makes this a component you don’t put off replacing. The valve is a thin, flexible membrane that’s flexed with every use and handled during cleaning, so it can tear, stiffen, discolour, or stick. Replace it if the membrane looks damaged or deformed, if it doesn’t sit flat and move freely, or if it doesn’t close properly during therapy (which can show up as a leak you can’t tune out).

Important safety notes
Never remove, block, tape over, or modify the anti-asphyxia valve. It is a safety component. Check it as part of your regular cleaning: the membrane should be intact, flat, clean, and free to move. If it is torn, deformed, stiff, discoloured, or sticking, replace it before further use. If you are ever unsure whether your valve is functioning correctly, contact your equipment provider or clinician.
