My experience with P10 | Brevida | Nova Micro masks
Thought I would share my experiences with all 3 masks since they are similar. I hope this information is helpful. ResMed Airfit P10 - Used this mask for several years. Love / Hate relationship. Loved how small, light and quiet it was. But fit wise the medium seemed a little small and the large was t...

Re: F&P Nova Micro Nasal Pillow Mask
Hello all, About to order the Nova Micro. Does anyone else have thoughts about the sizing of the nasal pillows? A couple of people have said they run smaller than the P10. I use the Medium on the P10 (a touch small, though the Large is too big) and the M/L on the Brevida (which is perfect). Should I...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10 "Smart Start" Doesn't Shut Down
I noticed my AC10 auto shutoff didn't work w/ the AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask when using a medium pillow but it works fine when using a large pillow.
Works fine w/ the Brevida mask w/ the M/L pillows.

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But
I would highly recommend you go with the AirCurve 10. The algorithm is the same in both machines, and the AS10/AC10 motor and electronics are well tested over many years. They changed the look of the 11 and it uses a different humidifier chamber and hoses. Have heard of problems w/ the humidifier ch...

Re: general question about flow limitations
ps - If you try this and find it is too hard to breathe initially, set min pressure to 7 instead of 6. A lot of people need a min of 7 to be comfortable but some are fine w/ 6. In case you don't know, central apneas (clear airway apneas) occur when the airway is open but the brain doesn't detect a n...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Great. Yes, that is what I wanted to see. Your waveform looks good. No flow limit problem that I can see. You are running on CPAP mode (fixed) with EPR of 3 so it won't report flow limit values, that is only done when running in APAP mode. But the shape of the waveform looks good. Your obstructions ...

Re: general question about flow limitations
You can also select Flow Limits to be charted and displayed on the right (by picking Flow Limits from the event types pick list on the bottom left) and then look and what you see. Hopefully it is mostly at 0 with a few spikes that are less than 0.5 https://i.postimg.cc/Pxd2xDX9/Flow-Limits.png And h...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Oh, no worries. Yes, move the slider on the bottom to the right and then left until it shows 3 and then your flow waveform should show nicely. Use your left and right arrows (on your keyboard) to scroll left and right till you find a typical area and take a look at the top of the inhalation curve. S...

Re: Mouth Tape?
I think you will find this silicon tape much gentler. Other tapes were too painful to take off, no problem with this.
1" by 5 yards is $9.99 on C&C. Not sure about other locations.

Re: general question about flow limitations
If you can, post an OSCAR screen capture showing your breaths in about 3 second spacing (go under events and select 3). And also your summary on the left side showing your FL numbers. Posting images here is problematic due to space so if you can post them elsewhere and link that would be great. Or e...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Flow limitations, or UARS, are partial blockages in your upper airway that are too low to be considered a hypopnea but can still affect the quality of your sleep. Something most experts agree need to be watched and accounted for when optimizing therapy. The best way seems to be by increasing the dif...
