Swift™FX
nasal pillows system
Thank you for choosing the Swift FX.
Intended use
The Swift FX channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive
airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) or bilevel system.
The Swift FX 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 environment 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.
Notes:
This mask is not compatible for use with ResMed AutoSet CS•™2
and VPAP™Adapt SV devices.
SmartStop may not operate effectively when using this mask with•
some CPAP or bilevel devices that have this feature.
If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, use of a humidifier is•
recommended.

2
WARNING
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 CPAP or bilevel•
device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the CPAP or bilevel device enclosure
and create a risk of fire.
At a fixed 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
CPAP or bilevel device. 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 CPAP or bilevel device function.
Discontinue using this 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.•

English
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 vapours 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 system component is•
apparent (cracking, crazing, tears or cushion damage), the
component should be discarded and replaced.
Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing)•
directly to any part of the 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.
