Re: Call For Enrollment: ComfortGel vs SoftGel Product Challenge

So I have a question. Its asking for a script. Does cpap.com charge my insurance for the mask or is it just to verify that you indeed are a cpap user?

I finally used a Mirage Activa LT and it was great. I had a lot of technology that I wish the Quattro had.

Re: how do you know your mouth breathing other then a dry mouth?

So I think people are missing my question. I want to go from a full face mask and want to go to a nasal mask. Other then dry mouth, how do I know I am mouth breathing when trying a nasal mask?

Re: how do you know your mouth breathing other then a dry mouth?

Dreamdiver thanks for this tip. My S9 is set to FFM and I do use the mask fit to test out my masks. However, what I am asking is if I mouth breath, will the leakage go up so that I know I am mouth breathing? As of right now I sleep with a full face mask with very little to 0 leaks. I am going to try...

When is ResMed going to come out with a FFM that has:

Now I am very new to CPAP but I thought I would post this to see what people think. And it is possible that these features are on the Quattro already or cannot be done on a full face mask. But I don't think so. So when is ResMed going to come out with a Full Face Mask that has: - Active Cell Technol...

how do you know your mouth breathing other then a dry mouth?

Hi All, So I have been trying the full face masks. During the night of my last sleep study, when adjusting to find out what pressure I should be at with the CPAP, I started to mouth breath with the high pressure. So the sleep center put a chin strap on that freaked me out. So when I talked to the DM...

Re: Help with Mask Ideas

This is pretty funny. I have the exact same experience. I currently have the Quattro and Liberty at home. Quattro is a great mask but I am having nose bridge issues. So I got the Liberty and there is no way to get a seal. I tried everything last night and never could get a seal. However, I did find ...

Mirage Liberty and the S9 mask setting

All,

Users who have both the S9 and Mirage Liberty, what mask setting do you use? Do you still use full face mask? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Finnally getting my S9 APAP

Ok Finally got some numbers on my second night. Below are the numbers. Also changed out to the medium Quattro and it was a big difference. My nose is still a bit soar, but I think it to do with the night before and not last night. As the mask did not hurt me at all. So good results and hope it will ...

Nevermind, it looks like jmelby answered my question on another post. Please see his reply below. However, I wish they at least turned the autostart feature for full face mask and disabled auto off. That would be cool. please remember that below is from another post and not for this post. by jmelby ...

Re: Finnally getting my S9 APAP

Thanks for the advise. I just got my new masks. I have the quattro medium size now, Hopefully this helps on the nose. And I also brought home a loaner ComfortGel. I will try these out in the next couple of days. Any other suggestions for full face masks?
