Re: A small design improvement to the SWIFT FX NASAL PILLOW MASK

It's simple: As you can see in the picture, where the tubing meets the soft plastic of the pillow [mask] there is a grey color round metal. its function is to stay inside the circular connection inside the plastic. If you ever saw this nasal mask you'd realized that as you move the tubing from the l...

Re: I have been banned from the ASAA Board

I'm relatively new here and I feel welcomed and part of the family already.

Re: A small design improvement to the SWIFT FX NASAL PILLOW MASK

Sorry!!!!! My mistake! I am using the Swift FX nasal pillow mask. I purchased recently the wisp mask from Respironics but I have found myself in the same situation that others have in regards to the nasal congestion issue too. I'm confused.

A small design improvement to the SWIFT FX NASAL PILLOW MASK

Those using this type of nasal pillow mask from Resmed may have been encountering the same problem I have when I started using it: every time I turned on the opposite side left to right and vice versa the metal couplings attaching the tubing to the actual pad bend a little bit but enough to hurt my ...

Re: First week on CPAP

Well I have had full week on CPAP and I have to say I have noticed a difference already. I am not so groggy and foggy and don't want to sleep so early in the day.

INTERPRETING MY MACHINE'S SMARTCODE

Hi again! I had some early doubts about the way to read and interpret some of my smart-code numbers but I think I got it right by now: Let me bring here the link to the smart-code used by intellipap machines: http://www.devilbisshealthcare.com/files/LT-2041%20Rev%20E%20Smart%20Code_072211_WEB.pdf S...
