Here is the follow-up to your many excellent suggestions for my Swift LT for Her mask problems. The very last thing I tried to make it work was to tape my mouth and then utilize the very lightweight chinstrap as a "homemade" stabilizer for the nose pillows. The chinstrap made a great impromptu stabi...

Oh my. Lots of suggestions so I plan on at least some of them doing the trick! Although my AHI, AI and HI numbers were significantly better last night, the leak rate was still 0.58 L/s, the mask fit was "Very Poor" and for the first time I had rainout. I had been routing the hose down (and under the...

I did read that post but think maybe I confused it with rubber bands pulling the pillows closer together. Do you mean something that would go underneath the bottom of the nasal pillows and would then be tied at the top of the head? It did also occur to me to try switching to the "small" sized pillow...

Thanx again to both Jules & Wulfman for explaining all this stuff. And to others for the great suggestions I've been reading here. Somehow I thought that all my CPAP issues to date would be solved by taping my mouth shut. The tape seal held just fine, but somehow my numbers this morning were even wo...

Thanx to Den and Jules both for your knowledge about such things... I figured converting seconds to minutes involved multiplication by 60, but the result didn't seem very useful either, nor did anything about the "CPAP Mask Leak Rates" chart. Does the software explain all of this or are you guys jus...

Thanx Den - I rather suspected mouth leaks also but not sure why since the mask fit said "Excellent" and "Very Good" when I finally discovered it. I have tried to interpret the Leak L/s data without much success. Most everything I find I think is listed in L/min, and I can't quite get the conversion...

First of all, thank you all for emphasizing the need for a data capable machine. My sleep apnea was diagnosed as mild in 2005 and I have just been using a "jaw positioning device" until recently. A replacement dental device began irritating my gums and could not be corrected. So CPAP was next. As a ...
