Amara View Alternative

Hello,

I've been using the Amara View for over a year and have issues where air blows into my eyes and am thinking a hybrid with nosepillows may help. Are there hybrid masks with nosepillows that anyone would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Acceptable Leak Rate

The machine is a RemStar Auto 560P. The screen shots are below. It's weird because my and my wife didn't think the mask was leaking at all. Thanks for your help.

Acceptable Leak Rate

Got the Amara View and thought I had all the leaks taken care but the SleepyHead report says different. I had a AHI of 1.13 but the leak information is listed below. What is acceptable as far as leaks go? Leak Rate - Rate of detected mask leakage (L/min) W-Avg: 10.22 Min Med 95% Max 0.00 9.00 24.00 ...

Re: High Pressure Mask

I did try it and have it adjusted before I took it home and the tech it was fine, but now that I'm home it doesn't seem fine.

Re: High Pressure Mask

I got the Amara View today and am having trouble getting it adjusted. Seems to be leaking on the right and/or side of the nose even on lower pressures. I think they gave me the wrong size. For starters how do I know it's the right size? Also, any tips on adjusting this mask?

Re: High Pressure Mask

I believe the Amara View is the one the doctor recommended. Does that make a difference?

Re: High Pressure Mask

Thanks so much! I'm making another appointment and will get the mask the doctor recommended. I think he steered me away because they may not have had any in stock. Nice customer service. Thanks again!

Re: High Pressure Mask

That's the mask my pulmonologist wanted me to get but the TECH steered me away from it and says there are issues with pressures over 10. Like I said my minimum is 16.5.

High Pressure Mask

Hello, I have the Resmed Quattro and am having problems with it leaving a red irritating mark on the top of my nose every morning. My min pressure is 16.5 so I have to have it pretty tight for no leakage. Does anyone have suggestions on a better mask for high pressure or something I can do to preven...

Re: New User - High AHI

I feel the same as when it was at 15 min. I had 1 bathroom break per night and the only other time I remember waking up was early before my alarm went off and just stared at the ceiling awhile before finally getting up. Thanks again!

Re: New User - High AHI

Re: New User - High AHI

The sleep seems to be better. The mouth breathing isn't causing me to wake up at all. I've noticed it after waking up for bathroom break or when alarm goes off in the morning.

Re: New User - High AHI

Here's my data for the 15th, 17th and 18th. Was out of town on the 16th and didn't get chance to use the machine. The only thing I've noticed about the higher pressure is I've breathing out of my mouth way more. Please advise when you get a chance. 11/15/14 http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e246/bad...

Re: New User - High AHI

Here's my data for the last 3 nights with min 14.5. No issues with the pressure at all so going higher won't be a problem. Only been waking 1x per night since I cut back on the water before bedtime. 10/12/14 http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e246/badgerwooz/ScreenShot2014-10-15at115009AM_zpsdc58d77b...
