HELP - Cpap air pressure ?

Post by DyingOnMyFeet » Fri Apr 18, 2014 4:04 am

Hi everyone - I have a ? I was put on a nasal mask at the sleep clinic and given a air pressure of 12 cm - do I need to change my air pressure if I buy a full face mask or does it stay the same air pressure i.e. 12 cm as used and given to me at the sleep clinic for my nasal mask.

Thank you very much - Peter

Same pressure, but change the mask type setting from nasal to full face on the pap machine.

What kind of machine are you using? To find out, first removed your water tank, turn the machine over & find the model name & number. Then go to the user control panel, where you entered your mask & enter your machine. It helps for us to know what machine you have, we can best help you if we know that info.
