Before using your Swift LT for Her
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.
