Re: ResMed AirSense 10 filter cover / door design flaw and breakage

I agree. It is very easy to be broken. When you try to open it from side the opposite side is too weak and pin is broken. That’s why they are selling replacement cover.
I will claim to local Resmed office tomorrow. It is cheap but annoying issue.

Re: Mirage FX mask

Last night I tried Activa LT mask, however could not manage to cut the leaks from my nose bridge to my eyes. I played with headbelt, the adjustment wheel, shifted the whole mask but everytime there is leakage. (When I shift the mask leak is cut but at that position lower side is very close to my upp...

Re: Mirage FX mask

I cannot decide between Mirage Fx and Mirage Activa LT. Next week, I need to select one and give the other back. When I checked leaks both is similar however Mirage LT has excessive leaks when head belts are loose. When little bit tight, no leaks Mirage FX has absolutely leaks, better condition with...

Re: How do we understand mouth leak?

my mouth is dry even before going to bed, however I dont feel very thirsty in the morning after I wake up. Sometimes I wake up at night to drink some water, but just once and I think it is very dependent on what I eat at night. Before CPAP, I never breath from nose, always mouth open but after CPAP ...

Re: Ear pain & dizziness

I have all the time dizziness before CPAP and after CPAP if I am sleepy.
For me dizziness is very much related to having enough sleep. After CPAP my concerns are decreasing however today I am sleepy again cos I fell asleep 1 hour without CPAP.

Re: Mirage FX mask

Re: Mirage FX mask

Tonight I slept with Mirage FX, even slept little bit less, I feel good today. Also my AHI was 0.7. I watched the fitting videos on the resmed site, this helped me so much to decrease the leaks. After I go home from work, I will check the leaks from software. By the way, last 2 nights, I am going to...
