Re: Airsense and Airfit Pro P10

Thankyou, I am being "flagged" by Resmed's "My Air" daily report. My old machine used to alert me to a leak with a light. This one of course does not...Just a red face. My pillow size is large and the others will not work. After six years of continuous use, my nostrils have expanded somewhat. I have...

Airsense and Airfit Pro P10

I am on my second machine in six years of continuous CPAP use. My new machine is an Airsense by Resmed with P10 nasal pillows. I have been using this now for five months and am continually being flagged that my mask needs adjusting, that is "LEEK" Whatever I do, I continue to have this problem. I ha...

AUTOMATIC 90 DAY RESUPPLY QUANDRY

My DME supplier advertises his expertise in resupplying cpap items automatically every 90 days. It is even a major part of his website advertising. Yet every time, I have to call him after 120 days to ask where they are. I always get the same answer. "They are due to be shipped now, You should have ...

Re: What is your favorite nasal PILLOW mask?

I do use the Breeze / LT conversion with the large dilators (yellow) I find the extra length on the pillow works better. I also use the side pads on the LT headgear. I bought both from CPAP.com and they were not expensive. I found that if you pullup a little on the LT medium pillow, then slice throu...

Re: What is your favorite nasal PILLOW mask?

I started out with the Swift LT and loved the comfort and the weight (or lack thereof) After the LT pillows tanked in quality, I tried the headrest with reasonable results but still not satisfied. I found my answer with the LT adapted to use Breeze pillows. cut my leak rate in half and my AI to zero...

Re: diminished returns

Thanks all for the input. I have reverted to the LT mask for most of the time and I changed the headgear yesterday. Last night saw some real improvement so you may be right that a little tweaking may solve the problem. Just have to be patient and try one tweak at a time so I have a definitive answer...

Re: diminished returns

you are right Den. My initial titration used CFlex to ease exhalation at a level of 2. As CFlex appears to be owned by Respironics, i am assuming that my scrip to the DME took that into account and EPR gives some kind of similar result? I can say that I am not breathing through my mouth but The LT j...

diminished returns

I started CPAP November 2009 and was pleasently surprised to find that I had no problem adjusting to the machine. The mask of course was a different matter and it took quite a while and a lot of experimentation to settle on something that worked for me. Nevertheless, I stuck to it and never missed a...

GIVING UP ON SWIFT LT MASK

I am now in my fifth month of cpap and although my therapy is going relatively well, I remain "mask frustrated" I started out with a Fischer Paykel Forma full face mask as I assumed i was a mouth breather. This mask gave me the face of a prize fighter the following morning so I experimented further ...
