ResMed Swift FX Nasal Pillows

by Justin Graham, RRT on July 16, 2010

The Swift FX was designed with softness in mind.  Its the softest CPAP mask on the market.  With the only hard plastic pieces used to connect the CPAP tubing, Swift FXthere is nothing to leave any pressure marks on your face.  The mask features a silicone headgear that contours to your face as well as the soft cushions you’ve become familiar with from the ResMed Swift line.  And with the optional soft wraps provided with the mask you have the added benefit of  smooth cloth on your cheeks rather than silicone.


This new innovative headgear and tubing is remarkably light, making the mask lighter on your face and much more comfortable to wear.  The lightweight design is uncompromising when it comes to keeping a seal as the mask’s seal will maintain throughout the night, even when you move.  The smooth swivel and light, flexible tube rotate with a fluid Swift FX piecesmovement, adding to your freedom of movement.

PR System One CPAP and BiPAP Machines

by Justin Graham, RRT on July 16, 2010

Respironics has recently released their next generation of CPAP and BiPAP devices and we’ve got you covered.


The PR System One machines from Respironics retain all the features you have grown to love with the REMstar series but with improvements.  They have changed the humidification system so that there is significantly less rain out while maintaining the desired humidity levels.  This makes the humidification system more efficient reducing the risk of getting water in the machine and, more importantly, fixes many problems patients have had in the past with rain-out.  many patients complain of water in the tubing making noises or splashing their faces, waking them up.  No more; this system trackes changes in the environment around the machine and adjusts it moisture output accordingly.  (See the graph below)

Respironics has also improved the responsiveness of the PR series machines.  These machines can measure the resistance of each Respironics mask and calculate that into the algorithm making the machine more responsive to you and the way you breath; increasing the effectiveness and accuracy of the delivered pressures.  See how it works with an OptiLife mask here
