Thank you everyone. Will call the DME.

Thanks Pugsy. It would be one thing is the machine consistently didn't record correctly every single night but this one is erratic. Most of the nights it does record the usage but some nights it doesn't record correctly so I am not sure what is going on !! Unplug the machine then plug it back in. Th...

My husband has been using the S9 Elite™ CPAP Machine with EPR/ S9™ Series H5i™ Heated Humidifier with Climate Control for a few weeks now . I noticed that sometimes the machine doesn't record the correct hours of usage for the previous night. In fact it records zero hours !! For example, he slept fr...

An update on our situation- Thank you all for your responses and advice. I called the DME and said hubby wanted to try the Nasal pillows and decide for himself if he can handle the pressure. And guess what ? ! he's comfortable with the Swift FX. DOESNT FEEL LIKE A BLOWDRYER UP THE NOSE Like the DME ...

Since our mask was covered by Insurance , I am not sure if it can be "exchanged". Thank you everyone for your replies. We did want to try the Nasal pillow but the DME said with 12 cms / H20 Pressure it would be too much for him . Would feel like a blowdryer blowing into your nose ( her exact words )...

Robysue : The mask was 100% covered by Insurance and we could get any mask. My husband is not a mouth breather but he does get seasonal allergies; so after discussing various scenarios and options with the DME we all came to the conclusion that a full face would be the best bet. Incase he gets aller...

His DME did try on 4 maks before he was finally ok with the Full Face Quattro. He had worn that during the sleep study as well and was ok with it then too. Even though he he is not a mouth breather - he seems to be more comfortable with a full face mask coz a nasal mask would need a chin strap etc. ...

Thank you everyone for your replies. We did want to try the Nasal pillow but the DME said with 12 cms / H20 Pressure it would be too much for him . Would feel like a blowdryer blowing into your nose ( her exact words ) . Has he tried other masks yet? I went from a nasal, to full face to pillows and ...
