Quattro Fx Defect?
Hi, I recently decided to start using the CPAP again even though I lost 55 pounds and was hoping I no longer needed it. Oh well, the pressure requirement decreased a bit but the OSA is still present. Since I am a mouth breather and was successfully taping my mouth, I was OK using an F & P Zest nasal...

Re: The new ComfortGel info
Does this mask seem similar to the soft foam on the F & P 407?

Pad a Cheek Nose Bridge Trial
Until this recent trial, I have never used the Pad A Cheek and have had discomfort wearing my masks particularly in the forehead region. I used both versions of the nose bridge Pad A Cheek and overall preferred the thicker pad. Both worked quite well at alleviating the pressure and plastic/silicon h...

AHI Differential
OK, I am finally sub 5 AHI with a F & P Flexifit 407 Nasal Mask and Premium Chinstrap. The AHI range is 3.2 - 5 with average leak rates for the mask. Now, I have been experimenting with Full Face Masks to be used either as a back up or when allergy symptoms hit. The only FF that works for me is the ...

Re: F & P Flexifit 407
Besides the foam and silicon being easier to clip on, are there any additional advantages of the Zest over the 407? I have loaded up on inexpensive foam and seal kits for my 407. I didn't realize that the Zest was an enhanced version of the 407

F & P Flexifit 407
Hi I settled on the Flexifit 407 for my nasal mask and have noticed that the silicon seal seems to stretch out & loosen up which I believe may make me tighten straps in more in to keep the leak rate low. I have only used the mask for 1 month. Do any users of this mask find it necessary to replace th...

Re: Padacheek nose bridge pad trial
I plan ot enroll in the trial. Does the nose bridge pad include the forehead cushion or do you need to purchase it separately? It appears to be a two in one on the Pad A Cheek website. Thanks!

Re: Trying to find a mask that fits..opinions on Mirage Liberty?
I figured that the Hybrid and Liberty have both the mask and pillows to worry about leaks. I am trying the F & P Full Face Forma which is basically an HC432 with medium and large cushion. It's soft foam does not bother my nose bridge like the Qauttro did. The foam is flexible and can be tightened to...

Re: Smart Card Use With 2 Machines
Yes, the 1 smartcard worked perfectly fine with both of my M series Auto machines. The mystery has been solved.

Re: Lighted buttons driving me crazy
For me there is a simple solution.
My machine is one my night table with the back of the machine facing me.
When I put on my mask I just lift the cover and it blocks the lights.
I have an M Series so I am not sure if this simple fix would work on the other models.

Re: Is it just me or does anyone else dislike the Remstar M ?
I take care of the blue lights by lifting the cover at night. Since the back of the machine faces me in bed, I don't see the lights at all. One problem solved.
The whisper cap which should have been packaged with the machine does decrease the sound about 10%.

Re: F & P Full Face Models
Is the Forma a newer model than the 432? They seemd to be priced similarly, in fact several online shops had the 432 more expensive.

Re: F & P Full Face Models
Just checked the website comparing the Forma and HC 232 Full Face Masks.
They seem identical. Since the Forma is currently available from my DME with both the medium and large cushions, I guess I will pick it up next week. I'll keep you posted

Re: Regenesis buckwheat pillow and CozyHose Boss
The CozyHose boss is awesome. It's lightweight and flexibile with movement. Great for travel and home use. It's a great little accessory that assists with sleep by allowing one to move without the problems of getting tangled or putting pressure on the mask leading to leaks. Very happy to have been o...
