Hi all---I rarely post but do read the new posts almost every day. It's now almost a year since I started with the CPAP machine. At first I never thought I'd ever get used to it but I have. I learned to adjust settings from where the not-all-that-smart sleep doc had it at the start (20!!) causing it...

Hi all. I am using Respironics System 1, Model 560 and a Mirage Quattro ffm. Can you comment on how I am doing and what I SHOULD be doing please? I only recently have learned to change settings to my machine and locate the info area. It is set on Auto and the max pressure setting has changed on the ...

You received good advice--your mask is way too tight! I use the Mirage Quattro full face mask and it took me a week to realize that I get a good seal with very light pressure. I started off tightening the mask far too much and woke up with a headache every morning. Each night I loosened the straps m...

1. My resmed 560 manual says to not use it with an extension cord. What about that? 2. I have put two folks in the same room for sales meetings I have run but never put two people in the same bed.

After 10 pretty awful days using a Quattro FX with my Respironics 560 having thrown the mask accross the room for two nights running at midnight and 1AM respectively (which I'm not proud of), I exchanged the FX for a Mirage Quattro. Also since it seemed that the high range on the auto machine was to...

I would like a nasal pillow but at night my nose is always stopped up. I had an operation for a deviated septum 5 years ago but it didn't help. I didn't think I was a candidate for a nasal pillow. I do have a new chin strap and am going to use it with my next mask. Anyone have any thoughts to the be...

I am going to see my DME this afternoon to exchange the Quattro FX I started with 12 days ago. I had more sleep interruptions due to fixing leaks and adjusting the mask than interruptions from AHIs! The last two nights I gave up on it because I could not adjust it to not leak long enough to get to s...
