mirage activa shallow cushion vs mirage activa lt

Hi,

Two questions. I am currently using the Resmed Mirage Activa shallow (cushion).

1. Is the cushion of Mirage Activa compatible (fit for) to Mirage Activa LT?

2. What would be the size of the cushion for LT if I'm going to get one? Small/Medium or? (part number?)

3. Is Mirage Activa LT is a good replacement for Mirage Activa?


Thanks.

This is from cpap.com, under Activa Lt "Tips":

Activa to Activa LT
If you are currently using the Original Activa Mask and want to purchase the Activa LT, we recommend the following conversion equivalent:

* Standard Activa size Standard = Activa LT size Medium
* Standard Activa size Shallow = Activa LT size Large-Wide
* Standard Activa size Large = Activa LT size Large

Thanks katieW...is there a link?

Is the shallow cushion is a direct replacement of LT activa cushion?

Then click on the blue words "Important Features", further down the page.

I haven't used the Activa, only the Activa LT. Would suggest you call cpap.com, and ask them specific questions about replacement. I have always found them very helpful and knowledgeable. The phone number and hours are right at the top of the page.

Thanks katieW, Activa is a great mask...so far the best for me. Do you have a second backup mask? What is it?

Important Tips

Activa LT to SoftGel
The ConvertAble Series is a new ResMed concept that allows cushions to interchange with other masks. The SoftGel frame and Activa LT frames are identical in size. The ActivaCell or DoubleGel cushion will work with either mask.

There are two frame sizes between the SoftGel and Activa LT masks. The size small is the only system that cannot change mask sizes. We recommend the following conversion equivalent chart:

Small Activa LT and Small SoftGel masks only accept Small size cushions
Size Medium/Large/Large Wide Masks will fit either DoubleCell or ActiveCell cushion in any size other than Small

The Mirage SoftGel is built around the Activa LT frame, If you would like to purchase the DoubleGel cushion separately, please visit: DoubleGel Cushion for SoftGel Nasal CPAP Mask.

Activa to Activa LT
If you are currently using the Original Activa Mask and want to purchase the Activa LT, we recommend the following conversion equivalent:

Standard Activa size Standard = Activa LT size Medium
Standard Activa size Shallow = Activa LT size Large-Wide
Standard Activa size Large = Activa LT size Large

Activa LT Sizing
For help with selecting the proper size cushion, use ResMed's Activa LT Sizing Guide.

Inlet Air Tube
The Mirage Activa LT no longer uses the 10 inch Inlet air tube that extends your hose away from the mask. The Inlet tube for the Original Activa Nasal CPAP Mask can be found here: Inlet Tube with Swivel Assembly

Headgear
Headgear for the Mirage Activa LT comes packaged with the ResMed Standard Size 16117. If you are referencing ResMed's Component Card from their website you will be ordering a headgear and clips different from the style that came with your Activa LT. ResMed Headgear 60114 Standard will work with the Activa LT, but the mask clips, part number 60115, that come with this headgear are incorrect. Please order these ResMed Headgear Clips (16569) to work with your Activa LT.

General Product Advisory
Activa LT cushions and clips are compatible with the Original Activa Frame, but are not EXACT replacements
The Activa LT frame is slightly smaller than the Original Activa mask frame; do not mix and match cushion clips
Activa LT cushions work in conjunction with other Activa LT improvements; We recommend using the entire Activa LT mask
