NASAL MASK
FX Nano for Her
Thank you for choosing the SwiftFX Nano / SwiftFX Nano for Her.
Please read the entire manual before use.
Intended Use
The Swift FX Nano / Swift FX Nano for Her channels airflow
noninvasively to a patient from a continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel device.
The Swift FX Nano is:
to be used by patients >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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
The vent holes must be kept clear.
The mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel devices
recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.
The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on.
Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
Explanation: CPAP and bilevel devices are intended to be
used with special masks (or connectors) which have vent
holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When
the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air
from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the
mask vent holes. However, when the device is not
operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through the
mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing
of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some
English
1
circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most
models of CPAP or bilevel devices.
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 device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used
while smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only
use oxygen in well ventilated rooms.
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. This warning applies to most
types of CPAP or bilevel devices.
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.
2
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.
Fitting
The fitting illustrations in this user guide show the sequence for
obtaining the best fit and comfort when using your mask. A diagram
showing the names of parts can be found in the Mask Components
diagram near the beginning of this guide.
Fitting steps
1. Ensure that the bottom of the cushion opening is aligned with
the bottom of your nose. Place the mask over your nose.
2. Pull the headgear over your head. The buckle on the top strap
should sit on top of your head and the fabric back strap should go
around the back of your head.
3. Adjust the top strap by pulling the strap through the buckle, one
notch at a time. Do not overtighten. The mask should sit
comfortably over your nose and the back strap should sit just
above your ears.
4. Adjust the fasteners on the fabric back strap until the mask is
comfortably sealed. The fabric back strap can be positioned over
or under the hair.
5. Adjust the mask cushion until it sits comfortably on your nose.
6. Finally, connect the free end of the short tube assembly to the
device air tubing. If the mask leaks, readjust the fabric back strap
before the top strap.
English

Removing your mask
To remove your mask pull the mask and headgear by the fabric back
strap up and over your head.
Disassembly
Refer to the disassembly illustrations in this user guide. A diagram
showing the names of parts can be found in the Mask Components
diagram near the beginning of this guide.
Disassembly steps
1. Remove the headgear by slightly twisting each headgear arm
and pulling away from the node on the mask cushion.
2. Peel the mask cushion away from the swivel ring.
Note: The headgear straps are not intended to be disassembled and can
be washed together.
Reassembly
Refer to the reassembly illustrations in this user guide. A diagram
showing the names of parts can be found in the Mask Components
diagram near the beginning of this guide.
Reassembly steps
1. Using your forefinger and thumb to stretch the inside of the
mask cushion, insert the swivel ring into the mask cushion.
2. Allow the mask cushion to sit in the groove on the swivel ring.
The mask cushion is correctly positioned when it is located in the
swivel ring groove with no gaps. Ensure that the swivel ring is
not pushed all the way into the mask cushion.
3. Rotate the elbow to ensure it moves freely in the swivel ring.
4. Thread the top strap through the top buckle with the notches
facing up.
5. Hold the headgear arm with the opening facing you. Latch the
headgear arm onto the node on the mask cushion. Make sure
that the text on the headgear lines up with the text on the mask
cushion.

6. Repeat the previous step with the other headgear arm. Ensure
that the headgear straps are not twisted.
7. Thread the fabric back strap through each side of the headgear,
then fold over to secure. Ensure that the fastener is on the
outside with the ResMed logo facing out.
Cleaning your mask in your 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.
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 etc), 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.
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).
English
5
If the vent or rotating parts such as the swivel, swivel ring or
ball joint require cleaning, use a soft bristle brush.
Weekly:
Handwash the headgear. It may be washed without being
disassembled.
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. If you
do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed
representative.
