Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
Thanks for the info...I didn't think they went far. I had one fairly decent night with the nasal cushion, then 2 nights of not so much and couldn't keep it on longer than a few hours and had to remove it so I could go to sleep. It's just so uncomfortable and unnatural feeling trying to sleep with so...

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
Thanks for the suggestions...
Right now I am in the trial phase, I guess, through a local med supply business and have not been charged for anything...I forget the date, but I have a certain period of time to decide whether to keep the equipment or not.

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
I have made all the changes to the settings and its much better than it was, but I still cannot get full exhalation flow through my nose when wearing it. It isn't a machine or cushion problem, but rather a problem with out it presses slightly on my nostrils, thereby blocking the flow. I may ask to t...

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
Thanks for all your help! I will make the changes and play with the mask once all the grandkids leave and things calm down around here.

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
The manual that came with the machine does not mention how to get into the clinical menu...I was fearful of doing something I was not supposed to do, but what the hell! Since when have I followed rules! LOL! I will dive deeper into it later today when I get a chance and post back. I do know my ramp ...

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
The only settings I have access to is the ramp up time, heat/humidity, and mask type, which I did change to nasal. It is the N30i, so I guess its a cushion rather than pillow. The feeling I had when exhaling through the nasal cushion is like my nose was stopped up...yet when I pulled my nose out of ...

Re: New user, switching to nasal pillow...
Machine is an airsense 11 and I do know how to enter the clinicians menu thanks to youtube, but that isn't something my provider showed me how to do.
I tried using the new nasal pillow last night and I am unable to exhale through it. I will play with it more today and try a different size pillow.

New user, switching to nasal pillow...
I am a new cpap user and have the Airsense 11 and started with the full mask. I've only worn it a couple hours a night, then removed it just to be able to sleep. Today, I was given a N30i by my supplier, but no changes were made to the machine. My pressure with the mask was 16...will it be the same ...
