Hi BigK, I have been using S8 Auto for a couple of years now. Currently with success with the Liberty mask but still use my "old faithful" Activa quite often. My thoughts are the leak rate is good. I go between 0.02 and 0.10 l/s depending on restlessness. Do you use the settling feature? I have mine...

Congratulations Bookbear, I have not long ago clocked up 2000 hrs on my S8 Auto and it seemed like the best I could get was around 2.0 AHI. This was with either my Activa or Opus, no leaks and sleeping well but still wondering if I could iron out a few more of those Hyponeas. I sort of figured in th...

Hi Match8 I have since early New Year been successfully using a F&P Opus nasal pillow system with very good results and great comfort, however, of late I had been having a bit of post nasal drip problems and with keeping my mouth glued shut I was having trouble clearing my throat. Also the efficacy ...

Hi Carrie, I have had my Opus now for 3 mths or so and after some mixed results I have got it working wonderfully. I was using the same method as Dreamstalker for quite a while with the large pillows and a velcro band around them with on most nights very good results but occasionally having frustrat...

Hi Jenny, I am currently using the same S8 machine you have, and previously used a Fisher and Paykel HC234 and have tried a Remstar? that my uncle lent me. I have never had trouble sleeping and my treatment is working fine. I don't know if I have an "acoustic head" or what, but I get I get a lot of ...

I am glad that there are others finding the value of the Opus. I have been using mine now for over 3 months and I am wrapped with it and the results. I mentioned back in a reply post in February my velcro fix and found it a little difficult to explain in words. Well done Dreamstalker for the great p...

Following on from the tulle fabric, I use a piece of the mesh bags that oranges come in about as long as the swift tube and 2cms wide which I roll up alittle and poke in the end of the assembled Swift barrel before inserting the hose. Seems to cut down the turbulance and makes it real quiet.Mask sti...

Hurricane, I have used the teflon tape on my Swift now for about a year and am very happy with it. It certainly has stopped those little leaking whistles you get. I just use one or two wraps around all bits that plug in including the end of the hose. I have found that this also firms everything up n...

NS Guest, I have an Auto Resmed S8 and humidifier. The moisture I mentioned was not rainout as such, and is no problem with the large pillows, it was just enough to offer a little lubrication and cause the pillows to half slip inside my nares, not painfully uncomfortable, but enough to arouse me eve...

As mentioned in a previous post I have had the Opus now for a month. After not gaining a good seal I was using the small pillows to great effect but found that with a little moisture build up from the humidifier the small pillows, especially one side, were slipping inside my nares more like an inser...

Cindy, I have used the Swift as my main mask for over a year now and one of the best things I found was to use a small ammount of Teflon plumbers tape around each of the end plugs and also the bottom end of the hose where it plugs into the barrel. This keeps the whole unit nice and tight and stops t...

WillSucceed, Yes it was your detailed and honest review that decided on my buying the Opus. The great benefit for me is that I can now sleep virtually all night on my sides which has pretty well eliminated all my OAs. My major problem,as far as my Sleep Dr explained, was I have a large, muscular nec...

Hi Dreamstalker, Thanks for your reply, being the time difference I have just got up on Tuesday morning here. I initially had a F&P HC234 cpap set at 10.5 cm but like a lot on this forum after 10 months treatment with it I was looking for more information and now I have an auto Resmed S8 known in th...

I hope this comes up with my info. New at this, I think it timed out before.
