ResMed Swift FX Nano Cushion

The ResMed Swift FX Nano Cushion (SKU: 62230) is a replacement cushion for the Swift FX Nano CPAP mask system, designed for individuals undergoing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, particularly for sleep apnea. This cushion is integral to maintaining the comfort and effectiveness of the CPAP mask, providing a secure seal around the nose for optimal therapy results.

Key Features

• Material Composition: The cushion is made from high-quality, hypoallergenic silicone, ensuring durability and minimizing the risk of skin irritation.
• Dual-Wall Technology: The dual-wall design of the cushion adapts to the contours of the user’s nostrils, providing a secure fit. The inner wall inflates slightly during therapy to conform to the nasal shape, while the outer wall remains firm to maintain the seal.
• Lightweight and Minimal Contact: The design minimizes facial contact, reducing the potential for skin marks and providing a more comfortable, unobtrusive user experience.

Size Availability

The cushion is available in three sizes: Small (SKU: 62231), Standard (SKU: 62230), and Wide (SKU: 62281). This range ensures a personalized fit for a variety of facial structures.

Compatibility

The cushion is specifically designed for the Swift FX Nano CPAP mask system, including the "For Her" variant, ensuring seamless integration with the mask frame.

Important Compatibility Note

While the fittings are compatible, it is not recommended to use the Swift FX Nano Nasal Cushions with the Swift FX or Swift FX Bella Nasal Pillow Masks. This is due to subtle differences in the headgear shape required to position the nasal cushion properly against the face.

Ease of Use

• Easy Installation: The cushion can be quickly attached and detached from the mask frame, making it convenient for cleaning and replacement.
• No Prescription Needed: Users can purchase this replacement cushion without a prescription, allowing for hassle-free ordering and replacement.

Usage and Maintenance

• Fitting: Ensure the cushion is correctly seated in the nostrils and adjust the headgear straps for a secure fit without over-tightening. Proper fitting is crucial to prevent air leaks and ensure effective therapy.
• Cleaning: It is recommended to clean the cushion daily with mild soap and water to remove any facial oils that may compromise the seal. Allow the cushion to air-dry completely before the next use. Tip: Avoid direct sunlight during drying and keep the cushion away from pets and children to prevent damage.
• Replacement: The cushion should be replaced every 3-6 months or earlier if it shows signs of wear, such as loss of seal integrity or discoloration.

Benefits

• Enhanced Comfort: The dual-wall design and lightweight construction contribute to a comfortable fit, making it easier for users to adapt to CPAP therapy.
• Quiet Operation: The built-in vents disperse air quietly, ensuring a peaceful sleep environment for both the user and their bed partner.
• Freedom of Movement: The minimalist design allows users to move freely, watch television, or read while wearing the mask, without discomfort.
