Cleaning your Swift LT in the home  
Notes:  
The nasal pillows system and headgear should be cleaned by  
handwashing.  
The headgear may be washed without being disassembled.  
WARNING  
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or  
essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg, citrus)  
to clean any of the systems components. Residual vapours from these  
solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also damage  
the system, causing cracks.  
4
 
CAUTION  
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking,  
crazing, tears etc.), the component should be discarded and replaced.  
Daily/After Each Use  
Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear) by  
gently rubbing in warm (approx. 30°C) water using mild soap or diluted  
dishwashing detergent for one minute. Rinse all components well with  
drinking quality water and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.  
Weekly  
Handwash the headgear and tube retainer in warm (approx. 30°C) water  
using mild soap or diluted dishwashing detergent. Rinse well and allow  
them to air dry out of direct sunlight.  
Reprocessing your Swift LT between Patients  
The Nasal Pillows System should be reprocessed when used between  
patients. Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions are available from  
If you do not have Internet access, please contact your ResMed  
representative.  
Storage  
Ensure that your Swift LT is thoroughly clean and dry before storing it for any  
length of time. Store the mask in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.  
Disposal  
The Swift LT does not contain any hazardous substances and may be disposed  
of with your normal household refuse.

Before using your Swift LT  
WARNINGS  
The vent holes must be kept clear.  
The mask should not be used unless the CPAP system is turned on and  
operating properly.  
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.  
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow generator is not operating,  
so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the flow generator  
enclosure and create a risk of fire.  
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen  
concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing  
pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.  
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician to  
check that they are compatible with the flow generator. If used outside  
specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of  
the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and  
leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the flow generator function.  
Discontinue using the Swift LT if you have ANY adverse reaction to the use  
of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.  
As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP pressures.  
Refer to your flow generator manual for details on settings and operational  
information.  
Remove all packaging before using the mask.

Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an  
existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or  
dentist.  
Technical specifications  
Note: The mask system does not contain latex, PVC or DEHP materials.  
Pressure–Flow  
Curve  
Note:The mask contains passive venting that meets the  
requirements for protection against rebreathing as specified in  
ISO 17510-2. As a result of manufacturing variations, the vent  
flow rate may vary.
