The Original Mirage Swift Nasal Pillows System offers an unobstructed view, is light and flexible and folds flat for easy travel.
Here are key features:
All Pillow Sizes Included. The Swift comes complete with all three sizes of nasal pillows for a secure, comfortable fit without having to guess about sizing. As with all nasal pillow devices, the smaller the pillow the more comfortable the fit, so first try to fit with the smallest size available.
Pillow Sleeve Position. The barrel of the nasal pillow sleeve rests against the philtrum, that part of the face below the nose and above the lips for stability.
Open Crown Headgear. The crown design of the headgear eliminates the forehead rest so there is nothing between the eyes and glasses can easily be worn. There are two adjustments allowing a stable and comfortable fit.
Lightweight and Flexible. The Swift weighs only 2.5 ounces and easily folds flat into a case for traveling.
Side Tube Positions. The connecting tube to the six foot hose is attached at either side of the nasal pillow sleeve and can be left down or attached to the headgear for an above-the-head position.

Important Tips
The fit and seal of devices with side straps that cross the cheeks can be affected by broad cheekbones or very round cheeks.
Since the pillow barrel of the Swift rests against the philtrum (the part of the face below the nose and above
the lips for stability), this may not be the best device for those with thicker mustaches.
"Cpap.com had the lowest prices we found. We received our order by next day air in good condition. This was a replacement for an old mask, so we had experience with the product. We are well satisfied with the way our order was filled and with the campany."

"I have had three of these. two were destroyed by my dog. i purchased a less expensive nasal pillow system and it wasn't as good as this one."
MIGUEL ANGEL L. – December 28, 2007
"I am very hapy with the new nasal system. I have been using CPAP since 1995 and this is the best. I had some problems at the begining (2 or 3 days) until I got used to the new system. Now I prefer it. it's lighter and less painful.
I heard about the new system by accident. It would be good to have news of really breakthrough systems as this one.
regards,
Miguel L."

"This is the most comfortable c-pap out of 5 that I tried. Here's a tip for air leakage on the sides: Use baby hair pony tail holders on the sides to cover up where the conection is. Problem solved. Also, keep dogs away from the plastic, they love to chew them to pieces."

How often should I replace my mask?
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months and complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.
In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The silicone eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal and headgear straps must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.
We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. You can also replace the headgear of your mask if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.
To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Search for your mask and then see all of the replaceable parts.
How do I care for my mask?
Masks should be washed daily in warm water with baby shampoo and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask. Avoid soaps with lotion or lanolin which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember to go to bed with a clean face, this will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning so that the oils from your skin are removed. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleanings easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

Why might I prefer a nasal pillow mask?
Nasal pillow delivery systems offer less contact with the face than either full face or traditional nasal masks. This system works well for those who tend to feel closed in or claustrophobic. Many nasal pillow systems have nothing that cross in front of the bridge of the nose allowing for a clear line of sight for reading or watching TV.
It can be easier to achieve a seal with this system, because there is less for you to adjust and less surface area to create and hold a seal.
Nasal pillow systems may work well for someone with a mustache or beard as the seal occurs only at the nares or nasal opening.
Someone who has a facial mole or scar near or around the nose, may find getting a seal with a traditional nasal mask difficult. Nasal pillows are an option in this circumstance.
Most nasal pillow masks also come with all sizes included to make finding the right size easier.
