Re: 1 Month Newbie Check-in

I tried adding a C-Flex EPR setting of 2 and that seems to work sicne the mask leaks were aloways on exhale. I think this may be the winning ticket.

Re: 1 Month Newbie Check-in

The leaks seem to be when the pressures get higher. I think I will try 10.5/12.5 for a while and see if it helps. The AHI seems pretty darn good and not many hypopneas, just hate waking up to my mask hissing like crazy. I wnat to let the maximum go as high as needed but itrading that for the mask le...

Does the Vitera mask work with the old SImplus headgear and frame?

Re: 1 Month Newbie Check-in

4 more months and all is doing very well. AHI is always < 1.0. Headaches gone. Only remaining issue is mask leaks in the early AM hours that seems to be correlated to pressure increases around that time. Snugged the mask down a little tighter, moved max pressure down just a tiny bit and removed the ...

Re: New AirMini - Problems

I use the F20 with AirMini so no HumidX.. I just place the AirMini so it sucks air over the wet wash cloth.

Re: Trouble with my mask/teeth

AZBEEKING, do you think the Fisher & Paykel FlexiFit HC431 would work with the head gear for F&P Simplus? For the OP, I have the same issue and find the F&P Simplus has less of an issue that ResMed F20/F30 or Respironics DreamWear FF if that helps you.

Headaches BY 80-90% thanks to the help of you and this board. AHI consistently well under 1.0. Interestingly, the Sleep Doctor had no idea a person could figure out how to adjust their own therapy settings but was happy to accept my therapy efficacy findings and apply those to my official prescripti...
