Need help-Cpap mask.got disconnected from its own tube.

[Jaman]

I can't reconnect it. I woke up and I just saw my cpap mask disconnected from the tube. I didnt realize it. I tried putting it back again but it seems to be impossible.

the elbow (which is part of the mask, not the hose/tube) normally just snaps in.

Pale Rider is correct; the elbow just snaps on, you will need to find the right position (as in North, South East or West) so play around with it until you find the right position. If you can't find that position, take it to your DME and have them show you how to do it. The mask, cushion, elbow and hose are in most cases separate pieces, and from your pics I can tell that your pieces are all separate.

Hi Jaman,

It's not impossible. You just need to know how to do it.

I can't quite see from your pictures whether you have this mask:

Or this one:

But if you play through this clip:

at 6: 35 you can see how the bit called 'the elbow' comes free from the main body of the mask - not by pulling straight out, but by pulling at an angle. (That's what must have happened to yours while you were sleeping.)

And if you fast-forward to 11.05, it tells you how to fit the elbow part in again.

It's a tight fit, yes - because it's meant to be. But it does go in.
