Swift FX Nano strap coming undone

Post by the block » Sun Aug 24, 2014 7:30 pm

The past few nights the right strap on my Swift FX Nano has been coming undone. It is the silicony/gel/plasticy part that connects the strap to the nosepiece. It latches on very loosely now, to the point that any sort of minor tug or pull makes it come undone, and it isn't easy to put back, especially in the dark. My insurance plan does not cover CPAP supplies, so I'm trying to avoid having to buy a new one right now. Has anyone else experienced this, and/or have a solution to fix it? Zip ties? Glue? Tape? Thanks

Is it down where the notch thingy is to attach to the cushion? Has the notch hole got stretched out so that it won't stay hooked together?

The Swift FX headgear will work with the Nano cushion or nasal pillows.
Check out EBay for cheap/new replacement.
This one is 8.99 plus 2.68 shipping.

I think this one was the cheapest I found. Search for Swift FX headgear and you can find others.
