I took the nasal mask apart to clean, and I think I put it back together wrong. Which way is "up" for the grey cushion? or more importantly, which side of the grey cushion goes against my face?
thanks.
Fisher and Paykel nasal mask. Which side up for the cushion?

I have sleep apnea, but I don't snore. Never have. (I am also not male, obese or hypertensive)
I believe the screening criteria for sleep apnea is missing a LOT of people, who have a lot of unnecessary OSA related disease.

If you go to https://www.cpap.com and look up your mask you should fine a section on replacement parts. Looking at the various pictures may give you an indication of how things go together.

I would replace this mask with Resmed Mirage SoftGel nasal, or Activa, b/c they use a double layers of the the Silicone while all F & P masks do not and thus they produce lots of leaks.

Looking at my Zest mask, on the bottom, the foam cutout should make a rainbow shape.Breathing wrote:I took the nasal mask apart to clean, and I think I put it back together wrong. Which way is "up" for the grey cushion? or more importantly, which side of the grey cushion goes against my face?
