FF mask

Post by jmps » Wed Dec 05, 2007 3:58 pm

I have been using a Comfortlite 2 nasal mask for over six months and taping to deal with mouth leakage. I have a pressure of 18. I am interested in a FF mask to avoid taping. My DME had me try Comfort Select that did not seal at all for me.

I was retitrated a few days ago because of deviated septum surgery and used a Mirage Quatro FF mask. According to the tech I probably am still going to be at 18. It sealed but I did have to tighten it up. Before I purchase can you recommend anymore masks that fit like the Quatro to try?


Thanks!

Quattro has worked very well for me. I was titrated at 14.

I used the ComfortFull at 15, and it worked for me. Until you have a mask with a low leak level (under 36 LPM), no one will know the pressure required, because the leaks will cause the treatment to not be effective. Jim
