Ideally, the patient should choose their preferred mask with clinical guidance. 2 Rhinitus? Sinusitis? Hay Fever? NO YES No Humidifier YES With Humidifier Useful tips A full face mask is preferable for patients with mouth leak. 3 Other nasal symptoms (e.g. Mouth breathes)? NO YES If a full face is not required, a nasal system should be first choice. Pillows should be considered as the nasal mask of choice. 4 Claustrophobic? Skin conditions / allergies?

Mask Size Selection Select the appropriate mask size by following the instructions. The range of sizes ensures that every patient can achieve optimal fit. Useful tips The 2D sizing templates will help you determine the optimal cushion size. If the template opening is too close to their nares or nasal perimeter, that size cushion is incorrect and may cause the patient to experience discomfort from pressure on the nasal bridge or cheek bones. Incorrect cushion size can also lead to leak into the eyes or around the nose. SELECTING A MASK

Quick fitting guide Minimal contact, optimal seal The first nasal pillows with ResMed s proven dual-wall technology. The pillows rest on a flexible cushion base maintaining seal. Freedom to move and sleep on the side Headgear with flexible stabilising elements gently holds the system in place when user turns or moves during sleep. The cushion base enables the dual-wall pillows to move in different directions without compromising seal or creating leaks. Super-quiet and personalised comfort Air is dispersed gently through the fine vents. The innovative vent design directs air away from the user and their partner. 1 2 3 Holding the pillows at your nose, pull the headgear over your head. Headgear should sit midway between the ears and eyes. 4 5 Using the click-fit adjustor, position the nasal pillows at the most suitable angle. Connect the Swift LT short tube to the device air tubing. Turn on the device. Adjust the top straps by pulling them evenly until comfortable. Do not overtighten. The Swift LT is now fitted and ready for use. Do not overtighten headgear straps Repeat Step 2 with the back straps. Do not overtighten. Optional For alternate tubing positions, use the tube retainer. To attach, push it into the top headgear buckle. Clip in either the short tube or device air tubing, depending on flexibility needs. The tubing can be positioned to either side of your face or centered. If the pillows pull on your nose, adjust the tubing at the tube retainer. NASAL PILLOWS

Ideal for active sleepers; ActiveCell Technology provides dynamic defence against leak. A fine-tuned fit MicroFit dial provides easy, one-handed forehead support adjustment.

Do not overtighten headgear straps 1 2 3 Turn the MicroFit dial to position 24, so that the forehead support is fully extended. 4 5 6 Allow room for the cushion s active cell to inflate. Use two fingers as a guide. Disconnect the lower headgear clip, hold the mask over the nose and pull the headgear over the head. Reconnect the lower headgear clip ensuring it clicks into place.
