The Mirage Activa LT was designed for CPAP users who want a hassle-free mask that is easy to fit, comfortable, and provides a secure seal for restless sleepers.

Improvements include the MicroFit dial, new compact ActiveCell technology, new diffusion vent and a dual-wall cushion that now comes in four sizes. The overall design is streamlined to be a smaller, quieter and better performing nasal mask than the original Activa.

Product Features

ActiveCell Technology. This design accommodates movement during sleep, which results in fewer mask leaks for restless sleepers. The bubble-like membrane surrounding the dual-wall cushion expands and contracts to varying pressures and allows for different sleeping positions during the night. The new ActiveCell membrane is less cumbersome than the original, but still prevents CPAP users from over-tightening the mask headgear to create a secure seal. A looser fitting mask reduces pressure points and prevents red marks.

MicroFit Dial. The MicroFit dial allows CPAP users to find the right fit using 24 small incremental adjustments. The dual-wall cushion and forehead move in tandem as the dial is turned. This design is intended to address difficultly with "first time" fittings and also helps prevent the need to over-tighten headgear.

Dual-Wall Cushions. ResMed has created the dual-wall cushions in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Large Wide. This cushion is designed to fit the widest range of faces.

Improved Diffusion Vent. The Activa LT also comes with a new diffusion vent that disperses air softly and quieter than before. The exhalation ports are configured in a circular design that greatly reduces the audible sound of exhaled air and redirects the airflow away from your bed partner.

Headgear Quick Clips. The headgear comes with quick clips that allow for fast and convenient removal of the mask without the need to re-adjust.

Important Tips

General Product Advisory

Activa LT cushions and clips are compatible with the Original Activa Frame, but are not EXACT replacements
The Activa LT frame is slightly smaller than the Original Activa mask frame; do not mix and match cushion clips
Activa LT cushions work in conjunction with other Activa LT improvements; We recommend using the entire Activa LT mask

Fitting Help

SoftGel and ActiveCell Technology are designed to seal without needing to over-tighten the mask headgear to create a secure seal. A looser fitting mask reduces pressure points and prevents red marks

ResMed also provides a printable sizing tool that has cut-outs with sizes for the Mirage Micro, SoftGel and Activa LT Sizing Template.

For more help with fitting, read through ResMed's Softgel User Guide. ResMed's Product Guide also provides helps with fitting and tips to avoid over tightening.

Where do I find the size?

The Mirage Activa LT Nasal CPAP Mask frame has two different sizes: Small and Standard. Only the small size is labeled with a letter and will accept only small size cushions. When examining the front of the mask, the size is printed on either side of the elbow, where the headgear clips attach. The Standard mask frame is not labeled and will work only with cushion sizes: Medium, Large, and Large Wide. The Mirage Activa LT™ cushion is replaceable and comes labeled. When examining the front of the mask, the size is printed on the bottom and left side of the cushion.

Convertable Use with Activa LT

The ConvertAble Series is a new ResMed concept that allows cushions to interchange with other masks. The SoftGel frame and Activa LT frames are identical in size. The ActivaCell or DoubleGel cushion will work with either mask. If you would like to purchase the DoubleGel cushion separately, please visit: DoubleGel Cushion for SoftGel Nasal CPAP Mask.

There are two frame sizes between these two masks. The size small is the only system that cannot change mask sizes. We recommend the following conversion equivalent chart.

Small Activa LT and Small SoftGel masks only accept Small size cushions
Size Medium/Large/Large Wide Masks will fit either DoubleCell or ActiveCell cushion in any size other than Small

ResMed's Convertable Series Brochure illustrates how to change the cushions. ResMed's Patient Brochure speaks to the benefits of convertibility and other features of the SoftGel mask.

Inlet Air Tube

The Mirage Activa LT no longer uses the 10 inch Inlet air tube that extends your hose away from the mask. The Inlet tube for the Original Activa Nasal CPAP Mask can be found here: Inlet Tube with Swivel Assembly

Headgear

Headgear for the Mirage Activa LT comes packaged with the ResMed Medium/Standard Size 16117. If you are referencing ResMed's Component Card from their website you will be ordering a headgear and clips different from the style that came with your Activa LT. ResMed Headgear 60114 Standard will work with the Activa LT, but the mask clips, part number 60115, that come with this headgear are incorrect. Please order these ResMed Headgear Clips (16569) to work with your Activa LT.

Do you have a guide to help me choose the right mask?

Yes, we created a Help Me Choose guide to help you select the right mask or machine according to your preferences. The guide asks you a series of questions regarding your preferences and your facial features. Based on your answers we provide you with a comparison chart of the masks that meet your criteria. Get started here:

Help Me Choose - Mask

Which CPAP masks work on which machines?

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:

ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow

When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

Are prescriptions required for mask, machine, humidifier, and Provent purchases?

Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier , or Provent.

We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:

How often should I replace my mask?

Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months, and a 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 cushion eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal. The headgear straps lose elasticity and 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. In most cases, replacement headgear is available 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. Just search for your mask to see all of the replaceable parts.

How do I care for my mask?

Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo. Let the mask air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.

The best time to clean your mask is in the morning after use. This removes the oils left behind from your skin which can reduce the lifespan of your mask. We recommend using Mask Wipes to make daily morning cleaning easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

For customers who want to completely disinfect their mask and accessories, there's an even better option than wipes. The Lumin Mask and Accessories Cleaner uses powerful UV light to disinfect, killing almost all bacteria almost instantly. It's not a cleaner and doesn't scrub or wash anything, but for simple disinfecting the Lumin works great!

Here are some other cleaning products to help with keeping your mask fresh:

A mask prescription must contain all of the following information:

One of the following words or phrases: "CPAP Mask", "CPAP Supplies", "CPAP Humidifier", "CPAP", "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure", "APAP", "AutoPAP", "AutoSet", "Auto CPAP", "Auto Adjusting CPAP", "Self Adjusting CPAP", "BiPAP", "BiLevel", "VPAP", "BiPAP Auto", "BiPAP ST", "Synchrony ST", "VPAP ST"

Why might I prefer a nasal mask?

The ideal CPAP mask is not noticeable to the user during CPAP therapy. If you breathe through your nose only, the nasal mask may offer the best therapy. Nasal cushions create a very good seal around your nose, while keeping a small profile. Also, nasal masks can be found in silicone, gel, foam, or cloth material. The SleepWeaver masks are the only cloth masks on the market, and are a very popular choice among nasal mask users. Lastly, most nasal masks have a forehead support which offers stability and support for the mask.

Are the Mirage SoftGel and Activa LT nasal cushion sizes interchangeable on the mask frame?

Small Activa LT and Small SoftGel masks only accept Small size cushions
Size Medium/Large/Large Wide Masks will fit either DoubleCell or ActiveCell cushion in any size other than Small

Sizing Guides. Many Nasal and Full Face masks have sizing guides available to help determine the size needed. Simply print the sizing guide, cut out if needed, and use a mirror or helper to look at the guide to see if it is a proper fit on the face. Please note, to ensure the guide is the proper size, it should be printed in PDF format at 100% scale, meaning "Fit to Page" may have to be disabled.
Return Insurance. With every mask we sell, you have the option of purchasing return insurance. Masks are FDA approved medical devices. Once a mask is used, it cannot be resold to another customer. CPAP.com was the first in the industry to offer return insurance to our customers. Return insurance provides 30 days for you to try a mask and return it for any reason for a refund of the price of the mask. If you are trying a mask for the first time, return insurance might be right for you.

We also offer Free Return Insurance on some masks.
