Re: New to CPAP (5 Nights) FFM vs. Nasal Pillows Mouth Breather
I think I got those stats from ResScan if not then from Sleepyhead. Still trying to figure out Encore Basic and if it is compatible with my machine. I have the Resmed S9 and it's showing a smiley face all the time. Not sure when it goes sad tho. I'm anxious to get new data with the new nasal pillows...

Re: New to CPAP (5 Nights) FFM vs. Nasal Pillows Mouth Breather
Pugsy - Thank you for the clarification that it will show up as a leak at least. I appreciate the explanation that some mouth breathing doesn't equate to a completely bad night. I will be able to look at my stats in the various software and see. What is considered large leak territory in your opinio...

Re: New to CPAP (5 Nights) FFM vs. Nasal Pillows Mouth Breather
They told me I have 30 days to find a mask and they usually will try up to 3 but the first one counts as 1. Today she set me up with a Wisp Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear and a chin strap and believes I will be able to train myself to not breath thru my mouth. It sure felt comfortable compared to tha...

New to CPAP (5 Nights) FFM vs. Nasal Pillows Mouth Breather
I'm new to CPAP - tonight is night 5. I have a FFM FlexiFit HC431 Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear that isn't the most comfortable thing in the world LOL ... I'm able to wear it about 5 hours a night. Sometimes I wake up like I'm choking and then coughing. My AHI is running 0.43 with leaks of 5.89 ...

Re: Where can I download Encore Basic?
I'm new to CPAP and new to this forum. I am interested in downloading Encore Basic please. I am running Windows 7. I'm impressed with the way it shows mask leakage.
