Mirage Activa™ LT
nasal mask
Thank you for choosing the Mirage Activa™ LT. The Mirage Activa LT is the first
in ResMed’s ConvertAble™ Series—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 ConvertAble Series 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 (>66 lb/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.
Rx Only

•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 86°F/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 optimize 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.
•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 sterilization instructions are available from the
ResMed website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization/americas.
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
correctly.
Check that the cushion clip is correctly inserted
into the cushion, and that the cushion is
correctly 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
“Cleaning 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.
