New mask and loving it !

Post by LilBuckaroo » Mon May 01, 2006 3:58 pm

I recently obtained an F&P HC 431 mask. It is a much better mask than my UMFF's. I have used it for about 1 week now, and there are less leaks, less noise, and it is more comfortable. It took the usual tweaking, but I am used to tweaking everything.

One could almost say that it is "user friendly"

Good for you, what pressure do you use? I'm at 15.5 cm, I should try the larger size maybe, tonight. I can live with the "M", I went for a Stress Test and the Tech told me I was on CPAP, (marks of face) Jim

Jim, I am at 11 cm. Sleep study indicated 10, but I bumped it to 11. I use the large size seal on mine. If I had thought of changing cushion size on my UMFF, I could have been happier, don't know. But my HC431 seems to be doing the trick. Hope it continues.
