Need help with CPAP supplies
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 10:55 pm
Hello,
Not really sure why, but, over 1 year ago my DME just quit calling me for updates of my CPAP supplies. Also, last year at this time due to a thyroid condition I lost a ton of weight and stopped wearing my CPAP for awhile, so I didn't want to make waves about the CPAP gear.
At any rate, after my thyroid treatment and gaining some weight back, I needed to start wearing my CPAP again.
I had some supplies that I had never used. I did need headgear. So, I took the number off my current headgear and went onto Amazon and bought a replacement.
The only issue with the new one is the plastic clip on the end. There is a different attachment point where it attaches to the grey plastic whip looking part of the face mask.
I'm wondering if it's possible to obtain this part of the face mask or if it's necessary to get a whole face mask. I'm not even sure there are numbers on this plastic piece. I do know the clip part is just slightly different. However, the other end where the what I would call the ring of the headgear hooks on is pulling wider and wider and needs to be replaced anyway.
I can clean the plastic part of the face mask, but do need this whip piece.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
