Anyone use the Activa cushion with Activa LT frame?

Well, the title says it all. Has anyone here matched the cushion of the Activa to the LT frame?

Thanks!

Re: Using the New "gel" EasyFit Mask! Love It!

It would be nice if the manufacturer were to actually post a picture of the product. I don't think that's much to ask.

Re: Fastest remedy for red marks on the face in the AM

For redness at the bridge of the nose, I put some lanolin and cover it with a band aid. The redness is usually gone by the time I get to work.

Re: Changes in Pressure with Improved Cardio Conditioning?

Hey Muse, In terms of weight loss, I don't have very far to go. 10-15lbs would put me in a comfortable spot. 25lbs would be ideal but require pretty darn good discipline. Where I feel it most is in terms of my cardiovascular conditioning and my strength. I'm starting this weekend so we'll see how it...

Re: my oral appliance experience

Thanks for the feedback on your experience. I've been strongly considering going this route. My apnea is mild/moderate but my CPAP experience has been all over the place. I've been thinking that this might be a better option...

Re: Changes in Pressure with Improved Cardio Conditioning?

What type of odd experiences have you had? Have your AHI numbers or pressures changed? I was using my Swift LT at 12 with EPR at 1. I only use the EPR with the Swift cause I have a difficult time exhaling against it. My numbers had been going great AHI of 3 or less with an AI of 0. The next couple ...

Changes in Pressure with Improved Cardio Conditioning?

Hey Folks, I was wondering if any of you had experience with monitoring your pressures as you've improved your cardio training. What changes, if any, did you notice? My winter break (my workplace shuts down) is coming up and I'm going to be getting back to the gym during that period. I hadn't been g...

Re: So many things....

Woodg,

In the interest of accurate data, did you change the mask setting for FFM you wore last night?

Re: Mirage SoftGel users--Mask cushion rippling?

Hi Katie,

Mine's doing the same thing. I don't think it's a problem. I think that's the cushion forming to your face.

If the ComfortGel nasal is comfortable, why not use the ComfortGel full face?

Re: ResMed Mirage Activa LT -vs- Mirage SoftGel Result

I've not tried the Activa LT, thus haven't tried the SoftGel cushion. I've used the older Activa though, and always considered it one of the most leak proof masks I ever used. That (not leaking), for me, more than made up for the bulkiness and movement of the mask with inhaling/exhaling. I prefer m...

I've noticed that it takes a few days for return insurance to show up on the purchase page. I'm sure it'll be there shortly.

Re: 22mm "Y" Adapter?

I wondered about this a while back...I hope someone knows about this. I had this crazy idea to hook up a Swift LT and the Oracle oral mask at the same time.
