I think I will choose a Z2 also. I will be wearing it in daytime to to help my tracheal compression. This will be a trial to see if a stent Surgery would work. I sure can’t strap a humidifier with water on me during the day. I use a Dreamstation at night. I need ideas how to carry this thing around ...

Thanks. I will stay away from it.

Yes, I switched in February because of so many complex problems. I found a smart young Pulmonologist at UAMS in Little Rock name Dr. Emily Krocurk.

Has anyone had any luck with these little things?

I have diagnosed with tracheal collapse (tracheobronchomalacia)and my dr wants me to wear cpap 24/day. I am fine sitting but cannot have any exertion without severe wheezing. Bronchoscope confirmed this. I can’t even imagine how this can be tolerated. She is ordering me a portable machine. The face ...

Thanks for all the responses. Definitely encouraged me not to try it.

Can a So Clean sanitize a medical face mask?

Thanks for the good information. I will try to switch masks.
