QUATTRO MASK

[charliemack]

I received a QUATTRO mask about 3weeks ago. I used it 2 nights and had to go back to using my old one due to excessive leakage, noise, and headaches.. In comparing the two masks I noticed that the new one had an exhaust hole pattern of 33 holes versus 36 for the old one.

Anyone had the same problem?

I use the Quattro.
The first few days with my cpap took a little getting used to, including the mask.
I got frustrated and went back to the DME and tried different masks.
In the end I went back to the Qauttro, it is comfortable (as much as cpap masks can be)
It does leak from time to time in the night as a toss and turn, but I guess that is expected.
I just tweek it a little and go back to sleep.

Give it some time, and try different masks if you can.
You will find one that will work for you.

I would add that you may need a different size than you were measured for. My first mask was a Quattro medium- and if you use the guide on the package, that kind of made sense for me- but after several months, I wondered why so may people loved this mask, because I was having a terrible problem getting it to stay in place, no matter how tightly I applied the headgear. So, the next time I was due for a new mask, I asked for a size small- amazing!- it works very well, with as you say, only very minor adjustments when I roll over, etc. Just a thought for you... good luck in finding your perfect mask!
