Another DreamWear question

Post by AfibApnea » Fri Aug 12, 2016 11:26 pm

Recently I tried the DreamWear. For me (a pillow, and nasal mask user), this mask is the best I've tried.

I just have one simple question about it.

It seems to have two vents: one on the top of the head and another one from the (S, M, or L) nose part.
I don't recall other masks I've tried having dual vents.

Should the mask be expelling air as I describe?

Thanks

The mask expels air from the top of your head and your face. As a BIPAP ASV user I had to slightly tweak my settings to maintain record low AHI, but it is the best mask I have ever used by far.

My sleep tech told me he was part of the "beta" for this mask. It's especially good for those of us with higher pressure requirements. If I understood my sleep tech correctly (and I'm certain I did but I've not been able to find any supporting documentation this was the case ) the dreamwear is supposed to be able to handle up to about 30 cmH2O

Yes...for this mask it does have 2 different places where it vents.
At the nose/face level and up at the top of the head connection.
