I recently ordered a Resmed Mirage FX mask, and it came to day.............however, to my dismay, it doesn't seem to connect to the hose............I have a resmed Airsense, and was using a Nason mask, but when I disconnect the Nason mask and try to connect the Mirage...............they don't couple.............seems like they should, since both my machine and my mask are now both Resmed.........Any ideas??

My old machine and mask had a little plastic piece to attach to the end but I haven't needed that with climateline and newer masks. Hopefully someone here will come along with an answer for you soon.

there is *ONE* hose coupler size across *ALL* cpap equipment, machine, mask, etc.

you probably didn't take the quick disconnect from your old mask out of the hose end.

Several of us have done that.
Luckily, my husband figured it out when I did.
