Amara View

Post by carol oliver » Fri Apr 06, 2018 5:57 pm

Is there a trick to getting the mask on right? The pulmonary therapist measured me for the right size, but I have to fiddle around for quite a while to get it so it doesn't leak. Once I get it is is good, but what am I doing wrong?

Are you trying to do a total readjustment of the straps nightly?
Or are you leaving everything the same except for the straps used to remove the mask.

I usually have to fiddle with mine a bit after I turn my machine on and the mask inflates, less than a minute. I keep the straps the same.

I understand totally. I personally found the Amara View a very frustrating mask to use. I too had a hard time getting a good seal. As you can see below, I went back to my AirFit F20 mask.
