Airsense 10, full face mask, cold face :(

Post by BikeisDusty » Sun Jan 10, 2016 8:06 am

I had to switch to a full face mask as I keep opening my mouth. Since the Airesense 10 has no temperature setting, how do I set this thing so I do not freeze my face? I am useing the Resmed F10 mask and a standard hose.

I found with the pillow that a Humidity setting of 3 was working well. I tried that with the mask and ended up very cold. I kept moving it up last night, finally to 6 to get warm, but in the night I woke up with congestion and had to take off the mask. Can't win.

Any suggestions?

If you don't have a temperature setting available then you are likely using the non heated hose.
Get yourself the heated hose for the AirSense machine and then you can warm the air up to suit you.
Your DME should have one available or you can purchase online

Make sure it says ClimateLineAir because that's what works with the AirSense machines
There is a ClimateLine that works with the ResMedS9 machines.

With the heated hose you can set the air temp and humidity setting separately or just use the "Automatic" setting.
