The
M
IRAGE
S
WIFT
must be cleaned and
disinfected/sterilised if it is used between
patients. Refer to the section “Cleaning
the Mirage Swift between Patients” for
details.
•
If oxygen is used with the CPAP or
bilevel device, the oxygen flow must be
turned off when the flow generator is
not operating.
Explanation of the Warning:
When the
CPAP or bilevel device is not in
operation, and the oxygen flow is left
on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator
tubing may accumulate within the flow
generator enclosure. Oxygen
accumulated in the CPAP or bilevel
device enclosure will create a risk of fire.
This warning applies to most types of
CPAP or bilevel flow generators.
•
Please refrain from smoking while
oxygen is in use.
Note:
At a fixed flow rate of
supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled
oxygen concentration will vary, depending
on the pressure settings, patient breathing
pattern, interface selection and the leak
rate.

1
Put the headgear on your head and
place the nasal pillows below your nose.
Make sure the top strap passes over the
top of your head.
Make sure the vent
on the pillow sleeve faces outwards;
away from your face (B-1).
2
Insert the nasal pillows into your nostrils.
Gently tighten the headgear straps; first
the back straps
(B-2a)
and then the top
straps
(B-2b).
Alternate the adjustment
of each set of straps, so that the
headgear panels rest between the eye
and the ear. The pillow sleeve should
rest comfortably above your upper lip.
3
Adjust the angle of the nasal pillows. To
do this, rotate the pillow sleeve
assembly forward or backward so that
the nasal pillows sit comfortably inside
your nostrils
(B-3)
.
4
Tube Retainer (optional).
Use the tube retainer if you prefer to
have the short tube assembly secured to
the headgear in the up position
(B-4)
.
5
The short tube assembly can be
attached in four different ways
(B-5).
Note:
The short tube assembly and cap
can be connected to either side of the
pillow sleeve. See “Disassembling for
Cleaning” and “Reassembling the Mirage
Swift” for instructions on how to remove
and attach the short tube assembly and
cap.
6
Connect one end of the main air tubing
to your flow generator and the other
end to the swivel. Turn your flow
generator on.
Notes:
•
Select “Mirage” as the mask option
when using the
M
IRAGE
S
WIFT
with
ResMed flow generators that have
mask setting options.
•
The SmartStop feature may not
operate effectively when using the
Mirage Swift with some ResMed flow
generators that have this feature. This
is particularly relevant when using the
small size pillow sleeve.
If you feel air leaks, readjust the angle of
the nasal pillows to get a better seal.
You may need to readjust the headgear
straps. Do not over tighten the
headgear straps.
