Re: new guy here! having loss of pressure
Given that you lost so much weight, I'm guessing your face may have changed shape and your old mask no longer fits as well.
Try nasal pillows...once you do, you'll never go back.

Re: new guy here! having loss of pressure
when i programmed the machine i first contacted the clinic where the study was performed. 16.2 was my needed pressure. EPR is on fast with a level of 1.DoriC wrote:Hmm, What are your pressure settings,EPR settings? My husband has a FF mask with no facial hair and has to change his cushion and every 3-4months to prevent leaking. Our DME doesn't replace parts so we have to get a whole new mask instead which Medicare allows but the waste really bugs me.

Re: new guy here! having loss of pressure
Can you post us a typical nights graph so we can see what is occurring. Would be a lot easier to help you if we could see that.

Re: new guy here! having loss of pressure
We're you able to get to your data? Still waiting to see the waves so we can help you. Kind of limited in our advice when we can't see exactly what is going on.
