Anyone using the SWIFT FX for Her?

Post by Jersey Girl » Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:55 pm

I saw on cpap.com the SWIFT FX for Her. Other than the pink coloring and providing a small, extra small and medium nasal pillows, is there any difference between the Swift FX for Her and the Swift FX?

The FX comes with small, medium, and large pillows. The FX for her has x-small, small, and medium. The FX for her also has more adjustment notches on the top head strap, although the FX will also get this upgrade when the current stock runs out. otherwise they are the same. I guess the FX for her comes with 2 colors of backstrap and comfort wraps, pink and light blue. Hope this helps!

I believe we established some time back that the answer to that is "no." The part numbers are identical, except for the headgear/frame, which depends upon the color you want.

LoQ - that was true for the Swift LT for Her but I think I read that there are more adjustment slots on the Swift FX for her so that the head gear can be made smaller. There is also the pink back strap and the different coloured strap pads on the Swift FX for her and the different size pillows.

The Swift FX for her may be able to be adjusted to a smaller head.

Oops, sorry, you are right, thanks for the correction. I was thinking of the LT.

I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a very nice person at ResMed who used a tape measure to establish that the only difference in the silicone headgear is in the adjustment notches.
I had hoped that the distance between the front attachment and the over-ear loops would be shorter, so as to work with a smaller head.
My hubby has threatened to pull out the mold materials and the 2-part silicone and make me a new, improved headgear.
I'm tempted to give him the go-ahead; but I dread the mess.
