Adam Circuit questions??

Post by jb_ » Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:17 pm

I'm having some leak issues with my OPUS 360. It has done very well for the 8 months I've been on CPAP therapy. I've tried Ayr, Lansinoh, and adjusting the headgear but I'm to the point that I'm ready to try different masks. I tried using a Swift LT but strangely I felt like I was smothering when I used it - not claustrophobic just not enough air flow/volume. I know the ADAM Circuit is an older mask but I'm fascinated by the simplicity. Has anyone used both the OPUS 360 and the ADAM Circuit and is willing to share their experience? If so, which did you use first? Which did you like better and why? Are you still using either one? Is the ADAM Circuit louder than the OPUS 360? Where/how does the ADAM Circuit vent (I can't find any pictures of the shell with a vent visible)?

Thanks,
JB

Looks like there's just the hole in the front of the shell.
