Pad-A-Cheek Quattro Air Mouth Opening?

I just received a pad a cheek mask liner for my quattro air. It feels great, however I am unsure on how big the opening should be. I cut a couple of slits at the top of the hole like the manual said, but the liner still completely covers my mouth. Only my nose pokes through. I researched the matter,...

Re: Fitting Quattro Air- System 1 Shortcoming

hyperlexis, you're right, it does have the feature! For whatever reason, the mask check mode was set to "off" in the clinical menu. I have no idea why they would want to give me the machine with that set off and no instructions on how to access the clinical menu.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Re: Fitting Quattro Air- System 1 Shortcoming

There doesn't seem to be a Mask Fit check setting anywhere , that would be nice to have. I found out how to access the clinical menu online and tested it out. I can change the mode to CPAP mode with my highest pressure (which is set to 10, minimum- 5). It takes so long to switch between the menus th...

Hi everyone, I'm a new APAP user, and have been relatively successful. Only recently I came across a problem in which the bridge of my nose is developing a blister and getting really sore and red, a common problem for FFM it seems like. I can only assume I've been adjusting the mask too tight, as I ...

Re: First Week With APAP- Wet Mask

I've heard of heated hoses before, but didn't realize they would help with the moisture problem. I'll have to call my DME provider to see if I can get one, unless it would be cheaper online. I'll also check out those permanent mask liners, seems like a more thrifty option then the throw away ones. T...

I have way more energy and the ability to think. Also, I haven't experienced any heart palpitations which I f...
