My pressure is 14/20, I use the Swift
and it works great....I have used the
UMFF, but it leaked bad, so ordered the
Swift against my sleep techs advice and
have been using it for a year now....I love it.

P.S. The alert feature was already turned off. I started the apap, laid the hose and mask attached to the unit on the table, it did not shut off, I gave it about 5 minutes and shut it off. I also rechecked my Encore Pro grafts and there were no large leaks, but could of been mouth breathing.... Mar

Hi awilcox....I'd look into having your dentures relined. I've noticed the same with pressure sores using my swift... If dentures are too floppy they will leave pressure sores, and at times the air from the pap machine move mine around...sometimes I may adhere them in...hope this helps...Good Luck.....
