Residual vapors from these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also damage the system, causing cracks.
CAUTIONIf any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking, crazing, tears, etc.), the component should be discarded and replaced.Daily/After Each UseHandwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear) by gently rubbing in warm (approx. 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap for one minute. Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.WeeklyHandwash the headgear and tube retainer in warm (approx. 86°F/30°C) water using a mild soap. Rinse well and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.Reprocessing your Swift LT between PatientsOnly Sleep Lab Mask (SLM) variants of the mask are intended for multi-patient re-use.

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.
