leaks!

Post by Ra101075 » Tue Jan 13, 2015 8:54 am

I'm getting frustrated with my mask, the first two weeks I used it I had no issues it worked fine. now the damn thing seems to leak all the time. near my eyes sometimes, on the side other times. I have readjusted the straps. I've tried tighter and looser. I just don't know why its so bad this last week. last night I had 34% large leaks register on my machine.

anybody have any other suggestions ?.

and then search for "mask liners"

so I ordered a sample of the mask liners, hopefully they will be in today or tomorrow. Last night I had horrible leaks the machine said 43% but I must have taken it off and went to sleep because it also said it was only on for 45 mins.

I talked to my DME today and they offered to send me another mask the f10 I had tried but said if I didn't like that one I would then have to wait two months o replace it.
They said I could have a therapist come out instead and give me a fitting and try several other type, but would have to wait til the 24th. I chose to wait til the 24th and get more options and help with the fitting. till then I hope the liners work well
