Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

I have given up on the new FX. At first I thought it was great, then leaks and waking up with the lower part of the seal in my mouth. I even tried a chin strap, but no help. I had to really tighten down to get no leaks and then my face hurt the next morning. I had ordered a mediem but the head strap...

Re: Mirage Quattro Mask making me dizzy!

I use this mask and I woke up in the middle of the night and I must have opened my mouth because the bottom edge of the mask was in my mouth,so, I used a chin strap the next night and I felt like crap the next morning. My events went from 2 or less to over 10. From now on no chin strap for me.

Which machine should I get as a backup

I'm thinking about getting a second machine for backup and travel. It seems there are lots of Remstar machines on the auction site and in Craigs list for very little money. Which one is best? Which one is the quietest? I saw Remstar Plus and Remstar Pro.

I went to Walgreens and they had a "Comfort Sleep Mask" it is very comfortable to ware and it does not interfere with my Marige Quatro mask. My ey...

Re: Masks being used with High Pressure

Iim going to go with your advice. I currently have a Fulllife mask and some nights I just can not stop the leaks. It's fine for lower pressures but not for 17. I ordered a F&S 431 today from this forums host. Is there any major difference between the 431 and the 432?

Re: My first night using a Resmed S9 auto

Well the second night went a little better. The mask still leaked if I moved around at all. But at least I used it all night long. Im going to exchange the mask for a next size down and see it that helps the leaks. Respronics does not have much of a choise on full face masks. On another subject. If ...

My first night using a Resmed S9 auto

My insurance hardware provider was going to give me a Respronices M series with a humidifier. They said I had to buy the humidifier then lease the CPAP for $40.00 per month for 15 months. I was really worried about the quietness of the machine. After doing the math and comparing the M series to the ...
