So, after my earlier problems with the Airsense 10, I am now fully awake at just gone midnight. The machine went off like a steam train and blew trhe mask off my face from the start despite being set at 13 many weeks ago. After 17 years, I am sick of this after 17 years being fully compliant. Is thi...

I had a good night last night, but Saturday and Sunday were awful, despite going to bed at different times, my poor wife said I woke up bang on 4am after the mask kept blowing off my face, making a real racket, which was confirmed by a red face on the machine in the morning.

I know to some this may sound strange, but the advice I was given and have always stood by, is to keep the machine lower than the head - for obvious reasons if using a machine with water chamber/humidifier. I put mine on the floor and use a longer hose.

Hi Rick, thanks for your input, most grateful. I use Finish Pwerball dishwasher tabs, because living in the South of England, we have very hard water, very alkaline soil type, so using white vinegar on the reservoir and mask parts regularly, doesn't stop a buildup of limescale. Strangely enough, las...

You get Mr Smiley face for leak management until you spend 30% or more of the night in large leak territory (over 24 L/min). So while both you and your wife noticed some leaks the overall total for the night was less than 30% of the night. You can spend 29% of the night deep into large leak territo...

Pressure is set at 14 and humidity at 6.
I clean my mask on a daily basis, also the reservoir.
Last night both my wife and I were aware of leaks, but the machine still showed two yellow smiley faces this morning with 6.09 hours of sleep.

Just a quick update. I can't get in touch with my sleep centre. My quality of sleep was bad over the weekend, but last night I managed to sleep without any leaks after going to bed at 1.30 in the morning after falling asleep downstairs. The sound which I initially thought was snoring, was in fact th...

Hi Rick, thanks for the in depth replies, very good indeed. At the moment, with the new machine, I am being monitored by the sleep centre and they are able to change the settings remotely, which they have done at least once (last week when I phoned them). I know about the ramp - either on or off, I ...

Welcome to the forum.

Where are you located?

South East England.

Yes, you should replace the mask, it might not be fitting as well as it dod when it was new. Also, your provider (which is the NHS if you're in the UK) has the ability to change the settings remotely. Might they have done that? I have just submitted a first post on this forum, and it is basically t...

Just a quick hello from a new member. I have been using CPAP for 17 years and everything was good, with me being fully compliant and getting good sleep, until 2 months ago when I received a replacement for my trusty Resmed S8 Escape - a Resmed S10 Airsense. I am sticking with my lovely Quattro full ...
