Re: Adjusting to the Airfit P10

Masks are strange creatures and one size doesn't fit all. My numbers with the swift fx were always bad, whereas with LT and discontinued Aeiomed, superb. I would stay with the latter forever but they're out of business and my stash will eventually run out. I am now testing the P10. One really needs ...

We can get you ResScan software if you want it and of course SleepyHead works well with it..links in my signature line for information on SleepyHead.
I also agree, this is excellent choice

Re: In nasal pillow styles, what's better than the Swift FX?

I have never used any sort of hose hanging thing The Tap Pap especially because it goes up over head anyway. So the lack of a swivel on the AirFit P10 doesn't appear to be a deal breaker....it's a really lightweight and flexible hose so it bends real easy and doesn't pull on the nasal pillow when i...

Re: In nasal pillow styles, what's better than the Swift FX?

To me, I like the Swift LT better than the FX because the frame like design holds the cushion in place better. I don't think this is common, since most folks prefer the FX with no 'frame' and less on the face. To improve the FX for me would basically be to revert to the LT. Question for the AirFit ...

Re: Used Aeiomed headsets: Free

i stock piled headsets and replacement pillows when they announced closure. You're right, the headset actually never has to be swapped out and if you take care of the nasal pillow, can last 3-6 months. I swap out every 3 months and thus the freebie offer. I am smoke free, no pets, extremely practice...

Re: ResMed S8 Autoset II and masks/mask cushion, etc for sale

Back to the OP's inquiry...I am a big fan of the S8 AutoSet II but agree that $400 is way overpriced. When it was time for insurance to pay for another unit, upgraded to S9. I then sold my used one about 16 months ago for $275. It was clean, never left my bedside, filters changed regularly and in ex...
