Now THERE is something that I had not thought of! The machine turning off completely when it senses a large leak. I would think that a person would wake up rather quickly if this happened since getting air out of those pillows without the machine turned on is pretty much impossible. I suppose that h...

Touche'

I think that I know the answer to this, but............... In the morning, when I wake up, I just sort of whip off the Swift LT mask and toss it on the floor and let the "Auto Off" feature turn off the machine for me. The machine will run for about 30 seconds or so and then turn itself off. This all...

4 to 20 Cm "Failure Mode"? What the heck is that?

My DME set my Apap at 5 -15 Cm. Does this qualify as a failure mode?

Now there is a guy that knows what he is doing! I would be very reluctant to post pictures of the mess that I made of my pillows! Once I get a few spares kicking around the house, I will try your method and try to make nice, clean cuts. Which size did you make your adjustments to? I have only tried ...

Well.........Now I have a full night with the "massively altered" small pillows under my belt. They worked fairly well. I had no problem with exhalation with the enlarged holes. The one thing that I noticed is that the air upon inhalation just seemed to rush at me. I end up with a "Darth Vader on St...

I have the same machine and it DIDN'T make any noise at all for the first 3 weeks. NOW, I too, notice a very high pitched tone that definitely gets my attention. I turned the thing off and then back on again and the sound went away. If the sound came back, I was already asleep and did not hear it af...

The "inner" pillows are shorter than the "outer" pillows. I sort of snipped the same amount from both inner and outer. Like I mentioned, there seems to be very little left of the outer pillows, so I am not sure how it will seal in a full-blown sleep situation, but I am going to find out tonight!

Well, I just used a "Sharpie" permanent pen for the dowel and it worked very well! It was kind of difficult to get at the inner pillow, but I did it and now the holes are approximately the size of the holes on the "large" set. I just hope that there is enough of the pillow left to hold a seal. I tri...

The idea of using a dowel for "back support" as the surgery is conducted is BRILLIANT! As my father used to say, "Too soon old and too late smart." Since I have wiped out the "small" sized pillows, I will use those to experiment with. If anyone hears of any other way to adjust the hole-size on the p...

Well......I tried the "altered" pillows last night, and they made more racket than ever! Lots of air rushing noise that was virtually impossible to ignore. I think that the cutting edge of a fingernail clipper is too curved to make a proper snip. To be blunt, I sort of wiped them out in the surgery ...

I know that this has been addressed before, but I seemed to have lost the stream on this question. When using the Swift LT mask, I find that the best fit for my nose is the "small" size of the pillows. However, I also find that the holes that the air passes through are TOO SMALL and create some rath...
