need oxygen adaptor for Comfort Curve Mask

Post by coloradogal » Sat Mar 07, 2009 8:54 pm

I recently bought a Comfort Curve mask on an auction. I think it will work for me, after I do a bit of “surgery’ on the headgear. My problem is, I use oxygen with the CPAP, and the adapter I use with my Comfort Gel, won’t fit the tubing of the Comfort Curve. I saw one on CPAP.COM, (O2 Enrichment Adapter), but I'm not sure if it will work Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks for all your information

To use O2, you really need a adaptor that has a ball check valve, so the O2 will dump and not back-up into the XPAP if it shuts down. Many are out there that just add a port to dump the O2 into. The people that supplied your O2 Equiptment should provide a ball check O2 valve. Jim
