Air vents

Post by pazza46 » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:59 am

HI
Has anybody had any problems with the air vents on the Resmed Quattro FX full face mask. I have been on CPAP treatment for over three months. The hospital changed my mask a week ago to the Quattro FX. I do like it and it fits quite well. But the air going through thr vents is starting to annoy me and keep me a wake.

I clean the mask every day and check the vents to see if are clean before reassembling the mask. I have got ear plugs on stand by.
