questions -Product challenge Comfort Gel vs. Ultra Mirage II

Post by poorichard » Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:24 pm

Are these interchangable - can I use the Ultra Mirage with my Respironics M series? I have the Respironics comfort gel nasal mask. If I tried the Ultra Mirage would it fit on the end of my hose? Where do I go to order an Ultra Mirage? Do I need my script or can my local tech supply both brands? My supplier is American Home Patient.

Yes, you can use an Ultra Mirage, or any Resmed mask, with your Respironics machine. They use the same size connectors. You can get your mask through your local tech supply, or through our hosts at CPAP.com. No prescription is required. Check the prices for both and figure out what insurance will pay.

Hey! Thanks for the information. I'll check with my local tech. It's surprising I find out this kind of stuff from this great forum - the local office must have enough business that they don't make any followup inquiries: "How are you doing? Do you need anything?" Like I saw on another thread, you gotta take care of yourself.

You've come to the right place. The people here are real time, real cpap users. You can learn more here then your DME or you Dr. will ever be able to tell you. And someone is available 24/7, thanks to the worldwide membership.

Best wishes,
