ClimateLine Tubing for S9 ?
Just wondering how often people change the ClimateLine™ Tubing for S9 for a new one. Mine is about 2 years old and looks like it might be leaking around where it fits into the s9 itself.

Re: Counterfeited cushions ???
I have finally reached a conclusion. I've received the cushions and a new headgear. The first night the leak rate was above 80 the second night was better it was above 24 last night the leak rate was 32. Each night I would tighten the mask a little more. My conclusion is formula for the cushions hav...

Re: Counterfeited cushions ???
I ordered from Amazon and it said the supplier was ResMed. I wash my cushion frequently and thanks to this group over the course of 4 years I've learned so much. the problem was the cushions that came directly out of the package was not given a good seal. So my conclusion is lack of quality or count...

Re: Counterfeited cushions ???
I ordered a cushion from ResMed last night out of desperation. But it is the air quattro, the exact same Cushing is the A10. I'll see what happens and post results. My headgear is new, if anyone was wondering.

Re: Counterfeited masks ???
I am having the same problem with my F10 airfit cushions. I started using the mask when it came out and had so much success. Maybe the cushions are made in China now ? It seems I cannot get a good seal like I used to. I also use Remzz and have been for years. The last cushion I bought was from Amazo...

Re: Counterfeited masks ???
I did not contact the seller but they had 99.8%. I didn't get the whole mask setup but only the mask cushion. I'm wondering also if the sealed masks have a shelf life ?

Counterfeited cushions ???
I am using the resmed airfit f10 mask. I found new cushions on ebay for 25$ this is where I normally been getting my cushions for the past year. But the last 2 cushions I ordered from eBay were useless right out of the bag. Both cushions had leak rates over 40 when my leak rate is normally single di...

Re: Air blowing on wife at night
Fantastic responses and ideas !! Just want to thank everyone for your input. This CPAP still seems to be a 3nd person in my room feeling BUT I will get use to it. I will try out the new mask soon ( Quattro Air ) in the meantime I am doing the light cloth over the vent far enough to not cause restric...

Re: Air blowing on wife at night
Thanks Pugsy. I will check out that info. A mask that diverts air flow vertical and not horizontal is a fantastic solution. My doctor wanted me to use a nasal mask first but I already knew if I get a cold ...... Also the sleep lab said I started snoring just a "little bit" before they awakened me fr...

Re: Air blowing on wife at night
Thanks Sheriff ,JDS,Daydream !! JDS74, I think i need to try that. In the past, I did not like it when she cuddled with me because it was harder for me to sleep. If I relearned how to sleep on cpap, I'm sure I can relearn how to sleep with my wife. She has been on the couch for 6 months now but last...

Re: Air blowing on wife at night
You are right about the co coming from the exhaust and my thought would be to use silicon to direct the exhaust up and not straight out without impeding any natural air flow. The big problem with this is silicon is soft and if I roll over in the night, SMASH !! I really would like to get a new mask ...

Air blowing on wife at night
I need some advice on how to stop air blowing on my wife as we sleep. My mask is the Resmed mirage quattro. The exhaust on the mask blows air ( which is normal ) but the problem is my wife cant sleep well with air blowing on her. I am thinking about improvising the mask ..... Does anyone know of a m...

Re: Question about Centrals and advice.
Pugsy , My centrals happen every night. My obstructive only happens every now and then. My prescribed pressure was 7 in the sleep lab. Back then I had an S8 Auto and it wanted to go up to around 12. I thought, could the sleep lab be this wrong ? After juicing and exercise , I lost 15 pounds and my p...
