F&P FFM help

Post by Corky1121 » Tue Jul 21, 2015 7:59 am

I have the simplus FFM a few days. I switched from a nasal. The company sent me a medium. How do I know it's the right size? It leaks from the bottom when I set the straps normal. When I tighten the straps, I get red marks on my face. Should I get a small.

Here is the link for the Simplus sizing guide. When printing it, make sure that the "Actual size" is selected under the print options.

Have you carefully watched the manufacturer's videos for fitting and adjusting? -> https://www.fphcare.com/sleep-apnea/mas ... s/simplus/

Adjusting is just as important as fitting.

Ty. I saw a video awhile ago, but couldn't find it this morning. I will check these links. Much appreciated.

I'm confused on how to use cut out diagram. It shows going over nose only. I feel the bottom part of mask leaks and moves more than over the nose. Now dose the sizing diagram work once it's cut out.

I did see that video and I adjusted the mask properly, but it leaks unless I tighten and then it leaves red marks.

Maybe I will call provider and ask for a small.
