condensation in cushion and tubing

Post by BlackRaven135 » Sun Oct 08, 2017 1:59 pm

I use a ResMed AirSense 10 features a humidifier and climateline tubing.
My mask is a ResMed Swift FX Nano for her and this AM the cushion and tubing had it some condensation
There was a lot of moisture around my eyes outside my mask and and my nose was affected also.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any assistance.

Lower the humidity and see if that resolves it. If not, you may need a cover for the hose or increase the hose temperature.. It's trial and error

Make sure the machine/humid. are below your head/bed so the water will run back to the machine and not you.

Increase the hose air temp if you can and it usually will resolve the issue.
