Question for the "Experts"

Post by LilBuckaroo » Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:05 pm

I have an F&P HC-431 FF mask. The seal has split on the lower right side. Is there a way to repair this?

I "like" the F&P as much as one can "like" a CPAP mash.

Thanks for any help.

What size 431 do you need?

If by the seal, you mean the cushion. Most insurances pay for their replacement once a month if necessary so ask your DME supplier if they have just the cushion in stock. Or cpap.com can probably rush one to you w/same day shipping and overnight delivery if need be.

Meanwhile I wonder if it would be safe to use something like Crazy Glue? I'm thinking in terms of any possible fumes.
