HELP PLEASE!! Swift fx nano very confused

[Audio_mc]

I wanted to try the swift fx nano mask before committing by buying from my dme since I can't return it so I ordered the pieces of the mask seperately on Amazon for a trial run. I am so confused how to attach the short tube to the nasal mask.

The amazon description of the short tube that I purchased said that you could use it with either the Swift FX or the Nano mask and was wondering if that is true because it does not fit. Is there a piece missing or is this tube just not compatible with the Nano nasal mask?

Here are all of the individual pieces that I purchased for this mask. Please tell me if I'm missing something.

This above shows the silicone frame as well as headgear which is the dark blue and the side wraps.
Did it also come with the clear silicone part? The description mentions only the headgear which is the blue part that goes around the back of the head and the side wraps. That silicone part is critical and if you don't have it then that is what is missing.

The short tube will indeed work with the Nano frame or Swift FX frame which are essentially the same thing. I know because I have done it.

The cushion attaches to the short hose via the circular opening and then the Nano cushion has to attache to the clear silicone frame part of the headgear.

Thanks for the response pugsy. Yes it comes with the silicone part.

My issue is connecting the nasal mask to the tubes swivel. Is the swivle on the end of the tube supposed to snap onto the mask like a magnet? The cushion is so soft so I can imagine having to use any force to get the swivle to attach to it and risk damaging the cushion. This is just weird because I'm experience with a lot of masks and never had an issue like this and I'm over here going crazy as if the tube is the wrong size. If i line up the swivel piece to the cushion peace it just falls off so I'm not really quite sure how to get to interact to stay attached.

No, it doesn't snap in and it is a bitch to fiddle with and get the little round part of the hose to fit in the circular part of the cushion.
It does take some work...just do it...you won't hurt it. You just have to shove it in and tweak it to get it in the groove.

You are a life saver Pugsy!! I got it in. I just wanted to make sure before I did anything that I wouldn't damage it. It's good to go now! Thanks again.
