Recent surgery need extra smalll full face mask
I’ve posted about my wife’s difficulties with mask sizes before, and with forum help we identified nasal options that worked well enough. Thank you for that But she recently had complex surgeries including sinus surgery and now the nasal masks are causing her sinuses to inflame and close up. ENT & s...

Re: Mask and headgear for small head
I’ve tried sending private messages to both of you but they’re in the “outbox” and don’t appear to be sending. Will keep working on it

Re: Mask and headgear for small head
Thank you for the prompt response. She tried the dreamwear nasal option, and all small options on everything, as available. The dreamwear is essentially the silicone frame that hooks into a silicone strip that goes under the nose and has a more sparse headgear (straps) we’ve taken resmed headgear an...

Mask and headgear for small head
Needing suggestions for masks and headgear for small heads. Wife was prescribed CPAP therapy. She’s not a big person. Our medical care facility doesn’t have any mask or headgear in their database they can order that fits her. And the gear has to be ordered through them for it to be covered. There’s ...

Re: giving a used CPAP to someone with a different clinic?
the clinic uses the online Data, presumably so the patients don't have to remember to bring in the card every visit. Regardless, it seems clear that there's a possibility that my clinic would need to remove the device from their list if it's still registered to them through resmed. I've got a call i...

Re: Hepa Filters Airsense 10 AutoSet?
As I stated earlier. I had not researched "hypoallergenic" because I am used to it, in all other products I've bought simply meaning that the materials/product itself is "allergen free". for example, hypoallergenic detergents don't fight allergens, they simply don't contain known allergens. I am in ...

They do significantly reduce my allergic rhinitis. Sometimes I even forget I have it.

Re: Hepa Filters Airsense 10 AutoSet?
why would hypoallergenic filters (which means, lower allergy) filters, designed by the manufacturer, 'affect the machine'? Like they discuss in the various threads, smaller spaces for air to flow. When you are putting a filter on the intake of a device, it vacuums air through the filter, thus more ...

Re: Hepa Filters Airsense 10 AutoSet?
Thank you for the responses. I was beginning to fear as much. Small market, Smaller subset with specialized needs. Some of the comments are interesting as well, in regards to needing a large surface area to compensate for the reduction in airflow caused by the hepa filter. One guy talked about putti...

Polite but unhelpful) I've seen the 3rd pa...
