Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

It depends on what setting I use, sometimes its the mask and other times it's the mask and tube. I tried 5 humidity and 79 tube temp for 2 hours, no rainout in tube but the little plastic clear thing at the top of the head is foggy. I cannot go any higher in humidity or I am going to have to go into...

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

I did talk to an individual from CPAP.com and they absolutely do not recommend a hose cover for the ResMed ClimateLine Air Heated CPAP hose. Its a fubar mess lol.

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

I am using the Dreamwear nasal mask, the heated hose attaches to the mask at the top of the head. There is no short tube. I really like the mask I have though because I toss and turn so I like the hose out the top of my head instead of out my nose.

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Fyi....if you are talking about the hard white tube, that gets stuck inside the end of the heated tube, so just the clear plastic inch tube with holes in it attached to the mask is showing. Not sure I would want to put a cozie on the clear plastic inch tube attached to the mask, nothing on padacheek...

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

I tried 5, 79 seems to be ok. Had it on about 2 hours with no rainout, but that shorthose at the top of the head was foggy.

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Oh, you mean that little hard clear plastic tube that is attached to the mask at the top of the head that has little holes in it, shaped kind of like a number 7? It's about an inch and a half?

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

I don't have another hose that goes to the mask? I just attached the mask to the end of the heated hose? Am I missing a part?

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Good morning, I am not sure what you mean by "short hose". I just have the ResMed ClimateLine Air Heated CPAP Tubing Airsense10, attached to the machine, I think it's like 6 foot. I can certainly try a sock or something like that but it would not cover the whole hose itself? So I'm guessing by what ...

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Yes, have considered surgery however my Doctor does not recommend it. She basically let me know that it is a last resort because the nose eventually goes back to the same shape it had been. Those are her words, as she does not recommend the surgery, which I find to be strange, but....I'm not a docto...

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Thank you! It does seem that auto climate and auto tube works the best, rather than me playing with the humidity settings, it's just a matter of trying to find the right tube temperature and auto climate control. At first it starts out very hot and humid, almost can't breathe really, but a few hours...

Re: Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Thank you so much! The mask that I am using is dreamwear nasal cusion, not pillows, as I cannot stand anything inside my nose like that and I have tried the full face mask and cannot do that either. From what I have read in the manual for the climatelineair heated tube the auto setting for tube is s...

Deviated septum, trouble finding perfect humidity and tube temp.

Hello, I live in PA, I have a deviated septum and I am having a very difficult time finding the perfect settings. My room temp is 71 degrees Fahrenheit with 30 percent humidity. I have a resmed airsense 10 with climate control heated tube. I seem to be congested when I wake up, but it goes away when...
