This has happens twice before in the past few years with no damage but today it chipped the corner of my s9 and knocked the lid off the humidifier. I snapped the lid back on dried it off and...

Re: S.O. - Taping with facial hair and chinstraps

I use blue painters tape 1" #2080 low adhesion. I tear off a piece about 3" long tighten my lips and stick it on. It sticks to my lips but not to the mustache. In the morning it peels right off. My chin strap is about 4" wide white with ribs in it and velcro at the top. I cut it down in between the ...

Re: Sudden burst of air

I don't have sleepy head so I can't show my graphs but I will first try maybe 16 on the high end since my 95% is 13.4 if that doesn't work I may try the cpap mode at 13.

Good news! I got the smiley face back this morning. I still can't figure out what was going on but I'm not going to worry about it. Thanks Pugsy and stage0 for your help.

Re: Confusing leak report and mask fit last night!

I unpluged the machine waited 30 seconds pluged it back in and let it re boot but still have frown face with 0L/min. My wife said we had a power failure for 1/2 hour today, could that have done something? I guess I will use it tonight and see if I get a green face in the morning. I also changed hose...

Confusing leak report and mask fit last night!

My sleep report on my S9 shows 0 leaks for last night but the picture on the screen for last night shows the red frown face for mask fit. How can that be? I use the swift FX nasal pillows with a chin strap and mouth tape. I usually wake up or hear a mask leak but heard nothing. How can it show two d...

Re: DME Problem

Good news. After calling the DME 5 times a day he finally called back and apologized for the error and said to disregard the bill. Even though he said that I think I will go back to my previous DME and I am thinking about looking into a new Doctor, I don't need the aggravation. Thank you all for you...

New nasal pillow mask

I like the feel of the swift FX much better could not tell I had it on. When I line up the pillows to my nostri...

Checked my pressure this morning and the average for the night was 16 with 0.1 AHI and 0 leaks. The only thing I can figure is I am sleeping better ...
