Re: New Machine and I HATE IT

This is the new one that REsMed came out with.

I like the quietness of the machine, but I feel like I am not getting any benefits from the machine.

This is my machine is the S8 Elite II.

My humidifier is the ReMed H4i just came out.

I will check out the info you gave me Rested Gal.

Re: I am DONE With Stupid CPAP! :(

Not all masks are for everyone. You do not have to use the same kind of mask that has your machine name. I personally use the Hans Rudolph Full Face Mask. This mask comes in 5 sizes; Large, Medium, Small, Extra Small and Petite. Hans Rudolph also has the nasal mask but this one is made for your nos...

Re: Fitting a Full Face Mask

Did you try the Hans Rudolph full face mask?

This mask has five different sizes and you use a caliper to measure your face.

Remember not all masks fit all people.

Why clear to Menomonee Falls because I live in Union Grove. That is way to far for me.

If it were a daytime meeting I might try getting lost.

Re: Battery battle

I am waiting for authorization for a new machine and a battery pack from CHAMPVA.

We lose our electric about 4 to 5 times a month for about 8 hours at a time. This is a medical necessity.

Re: Another DME headache

Jeremy you should have gone to a different DME that is in your insurance network.

I am lucky that all of the DME's I need are in my insurance network.

You may want to get another script, tell that DME to get stuffed and then get the machine you need from someone else..

This is the key word, NEED.

Re: Is there a mask without those straps?

I use the Hans Rudolph full face mask. It comes with a cap like head gear with 4 quick clips. This same head gear has a cord you can pull and this will release the head gear very quickly. The feeling of suffication is quite normal. I am very lucky because my hubby is a cpap user and he helps me thr...

Re: Leaky mask driving me nuts

You need to be fitted for your mask. I am an avid Hans Rudolph full face mask user. I have been accused of working for the company. WRONG!!! I do not work for the HR people. If I like something, I will tell the world about the product. What I really like about the HR, you can either go online at th...

Re: Which are the better full-face masks?

I keep telling everyone that not all face masks fit each other's face. I use the Hans Rudolph Full face mask. I throw it in the dishwasher and let it run through the dry cycle and it is ready to wear to bed that night. All face masks are not for our faces. My face is different than my husband's so ...

Re: Read the Ultra Mirage Hans Rudolph Challenge.

Any one using the Hans Rudolph must be resized.
The HR does not conform to what is small is small. There are two different sizes of small in the HR. Small and Extra Small.

Read the Ultra Mirage Hans Rudolph Challenge.

I was reading how one person did not get the right size mask in the trial when all of us that use the Hans Rudolph must have a caliper to measure for the proper size and fit. I really feel this needs to be repeated and calipers sent out to all who want to try the Hans Rudolph. I feel this is a one ...

Re: Mask Life Poll

I have the Hans Rudolph full face mask and the mask can be cleaned in the dishwasher. I feel this type of cleaning also sterilizes the mask and makes it cleaner and less prone to having problems with the face.
