Mirage Activa™ LT
nasal mask
Thank you for choosing the Mirage ActivaTM LT. The Mirage Activa LT is the
first of ResMed’s masks offering a choice of two high performance cushions
(Mirage Activa LT and Mirage SoftGel) on the one durable frame. For further
information, refer to the Mirage SoftGel User Information section in this User
Guide.
Intended Use
The Mirage Activa LT channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive
airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
or bilevel system.
The Mirage Activa LT is:
to be used by adult patients (>30 kg) for whom positive airway pressure
•
has been prescribed
intended for single-patient re-use in the home and multipatient re-use in
•
the hospital/institutional environment.
Using your mask
When using your mask with ResMed CPAP or bilevel devices that have mask
setting options, refer to the Technical specifications section in this user guide
for mask selection options.
For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device
Compatibility List on www.resmed.com on the Products page under Service
& Support. If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.
WARNING
The vent holes must be kept clear.•
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.

2
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 mask if you have ANY adverse reaction to the•
use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.
Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an•
existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician
or dentist.
As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP•
pressures.
Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on settings and•
operational information.
Remove all packaging before using the mask.•
Cleaning your mask in the home
Your mask and headgear should only be handwashed by gently rubbing in
warm (approximately 30°C) water using mild soap. All components should
be rinsed well with drinking quality water and allowed to air dry out of direct
sunlight.
Daily/After each use:
To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion•
after use.
Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear).•
If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.•
Weekly:
Handwash the headgear. It 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 mask components. Residual vapors from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a mask component is apparent (cracking,•
crazing, tears etc.), the mask component should be discarded and
replaced.

3
English
Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly•
to any part of this mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can
be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the
components to crack or break.
Reprocessing the Mask between Patients
This mask should be reprocessed when used between patients.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions are available from the
ResMed website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization.
If you do not have Internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.

Troubleshooting
Possible reason Solution
Mask is uncomfortable
Headgear straps are too tight. Adjust the straps evenly. The forehead support
“anchors” your mask and should sit firmly on
your forehead.
Cushion incorrectly inflated. With the air turned off, adjust the straps so that
you can insert two fingers between your cheek
and the lower headgear strap.
Mask is too noisy
Cushion clip is not inserted cor-
rectly.
Check that the cushion clip is correctly inserted
into the cushion, and that the cushion is cor-
rectly clipped to the frame.
Ports cap or elbow incorrectly
inserted.
Check the the ports cap and elbow are correctly
inserted.
Vents are blocked or partially
blocked.
Clean vents according to instructions in “Cle-
aning the Mask at Home”.
Air leaking around the face
Mask not positioned correctly. Reposition the mask upon the face.
Air leaking around the bridge of the
nose.
Wind the dial in.
Air leaking around the top of the lip. Wind the dial out.
The mask does not fit properly
Cushion could be the wrong size. Talk to your clinician.
Mask is incorrectly assembled. Reassemble the mask according to the instructi-
ons in “Reassembly”.
Cushion may be dirty. Clean cushion according to instructions in “Cle-
aning the Mask at Home”.
Cannot insert forehead support into mask frame
When assembling the mask, you
have inserted the dial into the frame
before the forehead support.
Push dial base onto a hard surface until the dial
comes out of the frame.
