Which BiPAP Machine?

I started CPAP therapy approximately 5 years ago. I just completed a new sleep study and the doctor has prescribed a BiPAP. I know virtually nothing about a BiPAP. CPAP was set at 16, now I will apparently be getting a BiPAP set at 19 and 15. From my experience with the CPAP, the EPR function was wo...

CL2 for Trade

I could not make either work. I never got the angle right. However, I had more luck with the direct seal. The direct seal is larger and fits up into your nostrils.

I thought I needed a FF mask because my mouth opened as soon as I fell asleep. The combination of the higher pressure and the swift forces me to keep my mouth closed. If it opens, the air rushes out and I wake up!

High Pressure

My sleep doc prescribed a pressure of 17. I have my S8 Vantage set on 17 with the EPR set on 3. I used the Ultra Mirage full face mask until the pain became unbearable. The mask irritated the bridge of my nose and I started using the swift with a chin strap. I have used the swift for about a week. I...
