Swift™ LT
NASAL PILLOWS SYSTEM
Thank you for choosing the Swift LT.
Intended Use
The Swift 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 Swift 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 environment and•
multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.
Using the Swift LT
When using the Swift LT with ResMed flow generators that have mask setting
options, if available select ‘SWIFT’; otherwise select ‘MIRAGE’ as the mask
option.
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:
The Swift LT is not compatible for use with ResMed AutoSet CS™ 2 and•
VPAP™ Adapt SV devices.
SmartStop may not operate effectively when using Swift LT with some•
flow generators that have this feature.
If you experience nasal dryness or irritation, use of a humidifier is•
recommended.

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.•
