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.
