Re: Somewhat pressing questions on the Quattro FX fill face mask

The lower part of the cushion is supposed to sit midway between your lower lip and the tip of your chin, which is where the chin indentation normally lies. How do you know this. Have you read it in ResMed literature? http://www.resmed.com/us/products/quattro_fx/videos.html?nc=patients&sec=true kemp...

Re: Somewhat pressing questions on the Quattro FX fill face mask

And I do need to use padacheek strap covers for the lower straps.. Since I last posted on this thread I tried on my mask again and do believe it is conceivable that I may need to stabilize the straps to make the mask sit right all night. The medium-size seems it may be possibly the correct size but...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

Would it be considered spamming on these cpaptalk forums if I were to re-post my above question of the post one above the last in its own thread, with its own title, or is the question I am asking above so on answerable that I should not expect an answer even with a very opinionated opinion?

Re: Soaking mask cushions for longevity?

If washing the seal every night with baby shampoo is the answer for the longest lasting seal? Does anybody think it would be better to find a technique which would not involve removing the seal every night and instead wash it in place washing part of the mask as well?

Soaking mask cushions for longevity?

Hi I heard from several people in a support group as well as professionals that the oils in your face is what eventually wear out your mask cushions. I have absolutely no insurance coverage for masks or mask cushions so I need them to last long. When I was about to order me ask from cpap.com in the ...

Re: mask free loan program

This all sounds great to me!

I don't know if it was covered in that other thread link above, given to us by ChelseaChestnut, because it is presently 29 pages long. So can anybody tell me what's the best way to sanitize a mask you get on a trial basis even if it's already been sanitize?

Re: What do you know about DME charges & mask fitting practices?

Our host, cpap.com, has some tools that you might find useful. They have a calculator that, when you input some measurements, will help you choose a suitable mask. And they have "mask insurance" available on many masks--if you purchase the insurance you can return the mask if it doesn't work out. A...
