Zeo Mobile Headband and xPAP?

[DJ_Boxer]

I just received my Zeo Mobile Headband and I use the Activa LT Nasal and Quattro Full-Face Masks and I am wondering how I can use these with the headband? If I can't, are there any recommendations to which masks I should use that others have been successful with? I just wanted to let people know that I did do a search here and it wasn't coming up with anything.

I'm currently using both a Zeo (the model with the bedside unit, not the mobile) and a Swift FX nasal mask without any issues.

I put the zeo on first and then slip the Swift FX's headgear on afterwords. I have to be a bit careful when doing this so that I don't dislodge the Zeo, but it's easier than I thought it would be.

Of course, the Swift FX is designed to be worn very, very loose and has very minimal headgear as well.

Can the Zeo Mobile be used with the iPad, or does it need to be the iPhone?

Maybe Jay will see this thread. He attached his ZEO to his Quatro somehow.

DJ, I use my Zeo bedside headband with my quattro ffm. I assume the Zeo mobile headband is similar.

Here's how I did it.
1. I discarded the Zeo headband (the strap that holds the transmitter and contacts)
2. I placed the transmitter/contact portion of the Zeo where the Quattro headgear would normally attach to the mask. This will keep the headgear and your transmitter on your forehead.
3. I discarded all the top pieces of the Mask ( the forehead rest and adjustment mechanism). This leaves a "stem" sticking up from the body of the mask with a hole in it.
4. I fashioned a loop from a piece of wire (paper clip) and attached it through the hole with the loop vertically on the outside of the mask (away from the head).
5. Through the loop I put a 3/4 in strap of Velcro (the hook part) about 12 inches long.
6. I use the velcro to hold the mask to head gear, attaching just above the ears. To keep the Velcro from grabbing all along the headgear, I covered all but about the last inch or so of the Velcro strap with a like strap of the fuzzy part. (no sewing)
7. I attached the bottom of the mask as before.

This sounds a lot more complicated than it is and it results in a set-up where the tension of the mask and the Zeo transmitter are independently adjustable.
