Swift FX nasal pillows are softer causing higher AHI

Hi everyone,

I used the Swift FX nasal pillows for 5 years with no problems. My average AHI was 0.8, until the last batch of nasal pillows. They felt softer than the older ones. Which is what my overused ones felt like. I always knew when I had to change the nasal pillows because 1. they would get softer and 2. my AHI would start to climb. Anytime my AHI got to around 1.5 I'd change pillows and it would drop right back down. Not so with the new pillows. Changed to one of them a week ago and my AHI has continued to climb to now 1.7.

Basically I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem?

I got a new CPAP today and opted to change my mask and headgear. As of tonight I'll be using the DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask. Hoping that will solve the problem.

Thank you
Tami

I would contact your DME or whomever you buy your pillows from and report that there is something wrong with the pillows and that you'd like a replacement.

The post was more about finding out if other's had experienced the same situation recently. I already moved on to a different mask.
