Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

I used my new N30i small cushion (the new version) last night and loved it! I didn't feel any leaks and there seemed to be no mask movement. However, I didn't tape my mouth last night and it showed. I woke up around 4 AM and felt the pressure in my mouth and the air seepage around my lips. I've got ...

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

The leakage could be from my mouth. The tape loosens a bit during the night. Having been a mouth breather for decades, learning to breathe through my nose will take time. I felt some leakage with the N30i, but I don't feel any leakage with the P30i. So, maybe the leakage is from my mouth. But it's b...

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

Last night I wore the medium P30i cushion and snugged up the straps on the headgear a bit. That seemed to help. Even when I switched back to the small N30i cushion around 4 AM I still had fewer leaks than I've had previously. So, maybe it's not the cushion that's been the issue, but the looseness of...

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

Thank you.

I'm using the small frame, but I have a small face. I'll make things a bit tighter, if my nose can handle it.

Does the P30i have a better seal in general than the N30i?

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

I'm going to try the P30i cushion tonight to see what difference that might make - if I can tolerate the nose insert.

Is the P30i the same "pillows" setting on the machine as the N30i?

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

I just downloaded the new version of Oscar (for Mac). I didn't change any settings (at least not purposefully). Large leaks were NOT turned on. I set the threshold as you described. Here's my updated screenshot.

Re: Resmed N30i Leaks

Thank you. The leaks do not wake me up, except in the late morning hours when I seem to stop breathing, my cheeks fill with air and I whistle air through my lips. Most of the night I'm oblivious to what's happening. I'm currently using 1" 3M Micropore tape. It sticks all night, but in the morning it...

Resmed N30i Leaks

I've been using a F30i for a couple of years with my CPAP and then BiPAP machines. About a couple of months ago I switched to an ASV machine (central apnea) and my AHI tumbled from over 20 to 2-3. That was short-lived because I had nose surgery and the first time in my life I could breathe through m...

Which F20 mask are you using? If you are using the AirFit F20, have you tried the AirTouch cushion with the memory foam cushion seal?
Yes. I have the AirFit F20. Is the memory foam version that much different?

Re: F20 and Nose Bridge Infection

Have people with the F&P Vitera had good luck with the mask not causing nose bridge irritation? Is it better in this regard to the F20 mask?

Re: F20 and Nose Bridge Infection

FF Mask with nothing touching the top of your nose https://www.cpap.com/productpage/philips-respironics-dreamwear-full-face-cpap-mask-fit-pack The F30i is similar and is my go to mask. However, it leaks quite a bit and my wife hates it. She much prefers it when I wear the F20. So, while I haven't t...

Re: F20 and Nose Bridge Infection

I used a band-aid to prevent blisters on my nose. Have you tried everything to keep your mouth shut? I used poli grip strips between my lips, but the best solution for me was homemade chin up strips. I applied the middle just below my lower lip, and pulled it up like a bulldog before sealing the en...

You could try the nose pad..https://www.cpap.com/productpage/boomerang-gel-nasal-pad-cpap Also...http://www.Padacheek.com has a mask cushion for the F20 As far as alternatives to the F20, you might look at the newer F&P Vitera I've tried the silicone pads and they don't work for me. And I don't und...
