The Fisher & Paykel Nova™ Nasal is a nasal CPAP mask built around two patented technologies: SwingFit™ headgear that swings around the head and naturally self-aligns for a one-motion fit, and a RollFit™ cushion that sits lower on the nose than conventional cushion designs, preserving a clear field of view above and around the mask. AirEdge™ fabric on the stability arms reduces contact marks on the face. The washable diffuser minimizes both noise and draft — rated quiet or very quiet by 100% of clinical trial users. A tube clip provides the option of over-the-head tubing placement. Compatible with all home PAP devices. Available in Small, Medium, and Large cushion sizes with Standard or Large headgear. A Fit Pack (NVN1SMLA) includes all three cushion sizes with medium-large headgear for initial fitting. Spare cushions, headgear, frames, and all components available separately at Broadway Home Medical. CPAP masks are typically dispensed pursuant to a physician prescription — contact us to confirm before ordering.
The Nova Nasal is designed for nasal breathers who want a minimal mask footprint, a clear line of sight, and a fitting process they can complete with minimal adjustment — especially useful for new CPAP users who are still developing their fitting routine, and for experienced users who want a faster, more reliable nightly setup. The combination of SwingFit and RollFit is engineered to reduce the two most common mask complaints: the time and frustration of getting a good seal, and contact marks left on the face after a night's sleep.
SwingFit™ is Fisher & Paykel's patented headgear mechanism on the Nova Nasal. Rather than pulling the headgear over the head from front to back — which can displace the mask from the face mid-motion — SwingFit swings laterally around the head from the front, then naturally aligns itself to the frame at the back of the head. The pivoting clips at the connection points keep the headgear in place throughout the motion and adapt to different sleeping positions during the night. In clinical testing, 91% of trial users rated the process of putting on the mask using SwingFit as intuitive or very intuitive on first use. For users with limited hand dexterity or who put on their mask in the dark, the self-aligning mechanism reduces the need for visual confirmation that the headgear is seated correctly.

SwingFit™ Headgear
RollFit™ Cushion
The RollFit™ cushion is designed to sit lower on the nose than conventional nasal cushions, which typically contact the nose at or near the bridge. By rolling to a lower contact point, RollFit positions the cushion body below the nose tip rather than across the bridge, keeping the area above the nose and toward the eyes substantially clear. This matters for users who read, watch television, or use a tablet during CPAP therapy before falling asleep — conventional mask frames that sit higher on the face obstruct the lower visual field. RollFit also works in mechanical synergy with SwingFit headgear — the two systems are engineered together to create a stable seal from the headgear tension without requiring the cushion to be pressed against the face to compensate for headgear misalignment. In clinical testing, 100% of trial users rated the feel of the RollFit cushion as soft or very soft on their nose. About the RollFit cushion →
The Nova Nasal's stability arms — the extensions that run from the frame to the cheeks on either side — are wrapped in AirEdge™ fabric rather than bare plastic or silicone. Rigid plastic and silicone contact surfaces can leave red marks or indentations on the face after hours of contact during sleep, a common complaint with nasal masks that use hard arm materials. AirEdge fabric distributes the contact pressure more evenly and reduces the skin irritation that hard surfaces cause over a full night. For daily CPAP users who experience facial marking as a therapy concern — particularly users who work in customer-facing environments or who find marks uncomfortable — the AirEdge arms are a practical difference from masks without fabric-wrapped contact surfaces. About AirEdge fabric →
The Nova Nasal includes a washable diffuser that disperses the exhaled air and vented CPAP airflow quietly and without directing a draft toward the user or their bed partner. In clinical testing, 100% of trial users rated the noise level while sleeping as quiet or very quiet. The diffuser is fully washable — remove it, rinse with warm water, and allow to dry before reassembling. Replacement diffusers are available separately (400NVN151) for when the original reaches the end of its service life. The tube clip adds a further comfort option — by routing the CPAP hose over the head rather than across the front of the face, hose movement during sleep creates less disturbance and the mask frame itself has less leverage pulling on it when you shift position. About the diffuser and noise →
The Nova Nasal is compatible with all home PAP devices — CPAP, APAP, BiLevel, and ASV machines from any manufacturer. No machine-specific adapter or connection is needed. The standard 22mm connection cuff on the mask tube fits the standard CPAP hose connection used across the industry. If you are switching from a different mask brand while keeping your existing machine, the Nova Nasal will connect directly without modification. Fisher & Paykel also confirms that the Nova Nasal does not contain magnets — relevant for patients with cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or other implanted devices for which magnet exposure is contraindicated.
Three cushion sizes are available — Small, Medium, and Large — and two headgear sizes — Standard and Large. Mask kits (cushion + frame + headgear) are ordered by size. If you are new to the Nova Nasal and unsure of your cushion size, the Fit Pack (NVN1SMLA) includes a mask with medium-large headgear plus all three cushion sizes — Small, Medium, and Large — so you can determine the right fit before committing to a single size for reorders. The F&P myMask app (iOS and Android) provides guided sizing and fitting support. All sizes and spare parts are available at Broadway Home Medical.

Common questions from customers at Broadway Home Medical about the Fisher & Paykel Nova Nasal.
SwingFit headgear swings laterally around the head from the front rather than being pulled over the top. The headgear naturally aligns itself to the frame at the back of the head as it closes — you don't have to position it manually or feel for alignment in the dark. The pivoting clips at the connection points hold the headgear in place throughout the motion. Standard pull-over headgear can drag the cushion across the face during fitting, requiring repositioning afterward. SwingFit reduces this by keeping the mask contact point stable while the headgear moves around it. In clinical testing, 91% of first-time users rated the process as intuitive or very intuitive.
Conventional nasal cushions contact the nose at or across the bridge, placing the mask frame in the lower portion of the user's visual field. The RollFit cushion rolls to a contact point lower on the nose — closer to the nose tip — keeping the frame body below the nose and away from the line of sight above it. For users who read, watch TV, or use a phone during therapy before falling asleep, this is a practical comfort difference. The lower placement also means less cushion contact area near the sensitive bridge of the nose, which many users find more comfortable over a full night.
The AirEdge™ fabric wrapped around the stability arms is specifically designed to reduce facial marking. Hard plastic and silicone arm surfaces concentrate contact pressure on a narrow line of skin, which can leave visible red marks or indentations after hours of contact. AirEdge fabric distributes the contact more evenly and is softer against the skin. Most users experience significantly less marking with AirEdge arms than with conventional bare plastic contact surfaces, though individual skin sensitivity varies. Marks are also reduced by ensuring the headgear tension is set to the minimum needed for a seal — overtightening is a common cause of marking on any CPAP mask.
The diffuser disperses the vented CPAP airflow across a wider exit area, reducing the velocity of any single air stream and quieting the audible output. This addresses two common bed-partner complaints — the hissing sound of vent air and a directed draft that disturbs sleep. Because the diffuser is removable and washable, it can be rinsed with warm water regularly to prevent buildup. Replacement diffusers (400NVN151) are available at Broadway Home Medical for when the original needs to be replaced.
The Nova Nasal Fit Pack (NVN1SMLA) includes all three cushion sizes — Small, Medium, and Large — with a medium-large headgear, and is designed for exactly this purpose. Try each cushion size to find the one that seals comfortably without requiring tight headgear tension. Fisher & Paykel's myMask app (available on iOS and Android) also provides guided sizing using measurements of your face height, nose height, nose width, and nose depth, with median sizing accuracy above 91% compared to manual measurement. Stop by Broadway Home Medical and our staff can also help with sizing before your first order.
The Nova Nasal is designed for patients who breathe through their nose during sleep — nasal CPAP therapy requires a patent nasal airway. It may be suitable for both new PAP patients who want a small, light mask and experienced users seeking a quieter or more comfortable option. It is not appropriate for patients who breathe through their mouth during sleep, have significant nasal congestion, or whose therapy requires a full face mask. If you are unsure which mask type is right for your therapy, consult your prescribing physician or respiratory therapist before ordering.
CPAP masks are typically classified as durable medical equipment requiring a physician prescription for dispensing through a DME provider. Broadway Home Medical follows all applicable dispensing requirements. If you are purchasing the Nova Nasal as a replacement for an existing prescribed mask, your current CPAP prescription generally covers mask replacements — contact us with your prescription information and we can confirm before you order. Medicare and most private insurance plans cover CPAP mask replacement at defined intervals; contact your insurer for your specific coverage schedule.
Daily: wipe the cushion with a damp cloth to remove skin oils and moisture. Weekly: disassemble the mask into its components — cushion, frame, headgear, and diffuser — and wash each with warm water and a mild soap-free detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to air dry completely away from direct sunlight before reassembling. The diffuser is fully washable. Do not use alcohol-based cleaners, bleach, or scented detergents as these can degrade silicone cushions and fabric components. Full cleaning instructions are in the use and care guide available from Fisher & Paykel.
