Re: I need a mask without face straps- please help!
There is one other option. The "Oracle" oral interface. It works like a scuba mouth piece. No straps at all. However, humidity has to be significantly increased if you use one because you are by passing the nasal mucosa with this device.

The pressure difference going from a fullface or nasal mask to nasal pillows is significant in feeling but is actually the same. It's just that now you are fuel injected instead of carboreated, lol. It also sounds like the ramp is not operational, with the ramp set low and operational the initial fe...

Re: How Effective was Your Initial Titration?
I've had seven titrations since my initial one in August of 1999. The wonderful sleep tech I am married to did all but one of them, the one she didn't do was done by my daughter who is also a sleep tech. All were spot on the money. My first CPAP was a Remstar LX. It was changed to an Autoset T due t...

Re: Are masks interchangeable with machines?
I take it the hose attachment points are different sizes then, Diny, as that is the only place attachment is made, There are adapters that are available but in a pinch if the CPAP hose is too big for the interface tubing I've wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the interface tubing to get the pr...

Re: How long to give a new mask model?
I've Beta tested various interfaces since 1999 when I was diagnosed with OSA ( in the neighborhood of 50 different interfaces). Usually 3 nights is enough for me to tell if the interface will work for me. Personally, I shy away from fullface masks although I have tested 4 of them, the larger the are...
