Re: Cleaning Equipment?

Someone on FB mentioned a cleaning spray called Clean Smart. I did a deep research on it and it's completely fine and recommended for CPAP gear, including silicone!

CPAP even has their own version of it for sale.

Re: Cleaning Equipment?

"I'm with you on this! I wipe my mask down and I empty my water (distilled water only) reservoir every day. Once a week I soak, what can be soaked in a partial solution of white vinegar and warm water. Every two months I replace my mask pillows and once a year I replace the water reservoir and the ...

Re: Cleaning Equipment?

I just thank you for weighing in Pugsy!! I'm going to take it day to day1 I've been using lanolin for my nostrils when using pillows, and cleaning that off is something I want to do just to keep it clean under those circumstances. but it seems to me that just wiping things down with the wipes would ...

Cleaning Equipment?

I'm also on FB and in a cpap group there, and was stunned when i saw a few, maybe 3 that i remember, weigh in and said they never clean their cpap gear and have never been sick!?!?!?!? One guy said, he just buys new ones after a while!?!?!? I clean the mask everyday and everything else once a week a...

Re: CPAP Alteanatives

I was diagnosed in August. I will 73 October 3rd. I'm bound and determined to make this work!!! I have gained a ton of information and direction from forum folk. Some people get used to this, find a mask they like, within a week. Most people take much longer! Some take months and some as long as 18 ...

Re: Nasal Pillow Comparison

I just ordered the F&P Nova Micro and praying that it works for me as far as comfort (sleeping), leaks under control, and wearing it all night! Yes, with the N30i I have had sleep, I have, without the clogged nostril side sleeping issue, slept with the mask on until time to rise, but my leak issue i...

Re: Nasal Pillow Comparison

Also, I see you have masks with the hose from the mask and at least one from the top. Do you like one over the other?

Re: Nasal Pillow Comparison

Hey all! Just looking at the nasal pillows on the F&P Nova Micro Nasal Mask, they seem to be designed 'differently' than the nasal pillows on the ResMed Masks? Is this just a 'senior moment' illusion I am having?!?!? I have used the Nova Micro recently and the ResMed P10 in the past so I can speak ...

Re: Mask Dilemma Again!!

As a 'follow up' I did a trial run with the Dreamwear Whisp, using a large mask, and changing the machine setting to FFM. The 'trial' run 'seemed' to give me a comfortable amount of air at the starting pressure of 6. I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens.

Re: Leak Rate in OSCAR

Yeah, your leak rate was really quite acceptable until something happened to the mask around 4:20 AM for maybe 30 minutes or so and then you ended the sleep session...probably the leak finally woke you up. If that were my report I would just shrug my shoulders and move on and not give it a second t...

Re: Leak Rate in OSCAR

Any 95% number just means that for 95% of the time you were at or below that number for 95% of the time. 95 % numbers are easily elevated though by short periods of time in large leak which is what happened to me. Remember in my example the 95% number was 48 L/Min but when I actually looked at the ...
