Problems with AirFit F20

Post by Oltremare » Fri Oct 20, 2017 6:10 am

The elbow clamping mechanism is secured by two clips per side acting as if it were a clamp.
To disengage it, just press down on the two levers.
Twice it happened that, turning to the side and sinking my head into the pillow, the lever on that side was crushed between my face and the pillow, and it dropped off.
Fortunately, the tube stayed in its seat due to the holding of the other clip, but it generated annoying and excessive losses.
Someone had similar problems.

Thank you all

Never had that problem when I used the F20 and I'm a side sleeper. U could put some clear tape on the clips to keep that from happening, just don't block the exhaust ports. Good luck.

Just started this mask last night. Jury is out. Slept 3 hrs only. Laid awake the rest of the time. However, NO leaks- Have had quite a few other mask-none of them great. None of them perfect. F20 has memory foam that sticks to your nose much better. Best res med score I had even with 3 hrs sleep. Best sleepy head score I had even with little sleep. I see the clamps you are talking about. I better beware.
