Re: Love/Hate Relationship with Mirage Quattro FFM..Help!

I can recommend the Quattro FX full face mask. I changed to it from the Mirage Quattro FFM and have found it to be a good thing.

Have a look at the thread on it.

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

Hi BigBad 64 , Do you find your 95% pressure is any higher with this mask? I'm sorry, i don't know what this means or how to find that out. As well, last night I had more leaks and this morning when I examined my mask I noticed that the cushion had slightly separated away from the plastic groove wh...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

I started CPAP with a Mirage Quattro Full Face mask (Large) and after intial success I eventually had to stop using it because of severe irritation to the nose. I've now been using the Quattro FX (Large) for a few months and am happy to say that I'm finding it to be very good. I tried a Medium size ...

Re: The Importance of a Good Pillow

Has anybody in Australia been able to source a good CPAP pillow locally at a reasonable price? As you can see from my avatar I wear a full face mask, and I'm also a side sleeper. Google seems to tell me that these pillows are only able to be shipped from the USA. Surely somewhere sells them in AUS? ...

Re: New Mask

It doesn't seem to matter which I use at the moment, I wake up at about 4-5am with a small leak or 2. The Remzzzs liners for the Mirage Quattro weren't bad, I wonder if they have made any for the Quattro FX yet? As I don't seem to be having any greater sleep with the Mirage Quattro, I'm going to kee...

Re: New Mask

Mammal, how are you finding the FX? I had the Mirage Quattro FFM (Large) and was doing fine except for it irritating my nose bridge. At the suggestion of the sleep clinic I've been trialling the Quattro FX (Large) to see if this helped with the nose issue. After initially thinking it was OK I have s...

Re: Mirage Liberty Mask - Connection to ClimateLine?

I have the Liberty and Climate Line. I connect them by pushing the mask end of the tubing to the plastic end of the short mask tubing. Not very sophisticated but it works. Since the Climate Line tubing has a sensor on the mask end I tried connecting it directly to the mask once and it didn't seem t...

Re: Mirage Liberty Mask - Connection to ClimateLine?

It is a click-on click-off connector on my Quattro mask, designed for the fittings at the end of the S9's ClimateLine & SlimLine tubes.

The mask side of the quick connect on the Quattro doesn't fit into the Liberty.

I'm guessing there must be a quick-connect adaptor that does out there.

Mirage Liberty Mask - Connection to ClimateLine?

A quick query................... I just got hold of a ResMed MIrage Liberty mask to try this afternoon as I've got stitches on the bridge of my nose and need to leave them be for a while with nothing pressing on them. When I went to to connect the ClimateLine tube that runs from my S9 to the Liberty...

Re: Nose irritation problems

I tried a nasal pillow unit out and found it unsuitable because I couldn't stand the air blowing direct up my nose. That and the fact I'm a mouth breather made a full face mask the only option. By Googling a bit I can see that a lot of people have had nose sore issues with the Mirage Quattro Full Fa...

Nose irritation problems

I'm hoping someone out there has had this problem and conquered it. I've had my Resmed S9 and Mirage Quattro Full-Face mask for a while now and it has improved my sleep out of sight. I've had occasional leak issues but seem to be able to solve them. I ordered 6 x Remzzzs liners which assist with the...

Re: Resmed Mirage Quattro - Air Leaks

After tightening the mask so much that I was making a red mark on my nose, I went to the sleep tech and she advised I give it a rest for a few nights so the nose could recover. She also said not to have the top strap too tight, but to pull the lower strap tight to stop leaks. She also gave me a medi...

Re: Resmed Mirage Quattro - Air Leaks

I took the whole box and dice in to the sleep tech yesterday, and you guessed it, she pulled, pushed & tugged the mask every which way and it wouldn't leak. The only thing that was different was that I was sitting in a chair, not lying down, but she did try me leaning sideways on a pillow left and r...

Re: Resmed Mirage Quattro - Air Leaks

Thanks for the replies. I did try a nasal mask initially and couldn't stand it. I'm a mouth breather and the nasal mask irritated me. Yes, the cushion is still flexible and soft. Maybe daily washing is too much, but I did this on the recommendation of the sleep tech where I bought the gear. I tried ...

Resmed Mirage Quattro - Air Leaks

I'm relatively new to CPAP but have been doing pretty well until the last few nights. My Mirage Quattro full-face mask has been fine up till now but it's suddenly decided to start leaking air. The noise and flow of the leaks make it impossible to sleep. It's was purchased on the 7th June, so is not ...
