port. However, when the flow generator is not operating (eg, power failure),
not enough fresh air will be provided through the system, and exhaled air
may be rebreathed. In this situation, remove the Mirage Swift II
immediately.
• The exhaust vent flow is lower at lower system pressures (see section
“Technical Specifications” for Pressure-Flow Curve details). If the system
pressure during expiration is too low, there may not be enough exhaust vent
flow to completely flush the air delivery hose of exhaled air before the start
of the next inspiration.
• Discontinue using the Mirage Swift II if you frequently experience nasal
irritation, and consult your physician.
• The Mirage Swift II must be cleaned and disinfected/sterilized if it is used
between patients. See section “Cleaning the Mirage Swift II between
Patients” for details.
• If oxygen is used with the flow generator, the oxygen flow must be turned
off when the flow generator is not operating.
Explanation of the Warning: When the flow generator is not in operation,
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing
may accumulate within the flow generator enclosure. Oxygen accumulated
in the flow generator enclosure will create a risk of fire. This warning applies
to most types of flow generators.
• Please refrain from smoking while oxygen is in use.
Note: At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient
breathing pattern, interface selection and the leak rate.

1 Put the headgear on your head and place the nasal pillows below your nose.
Make sure the top strap passes over the top of your head. Make sure the
ResMed logo on the pillow sleeve faces outward; away from your face
(B-1).
2 Insert the nasal pillows into your nostrils. Gently tighten the headgear
straps; first the back straps (B-2a) and then the top straps (B-2b). Alternate
the adjustment of each set of straps, so that the headgear panels rest
