Howdy,

Should CPAP.com list this?

Johnny,

You know I'm not into the "nasal" interfaces, but looking at the pictures on the website made me curious about what holds the cannula in the nose and keeps it there? (where does the tension come from?)

Actually, my first reaction was that I thought it looked like a halter/bridle/headstall.....

Best wishes,

Den

Looks good, BUT - there is no room for lab-ratting if the headgear doesn't hold the nasal pillows (are they pillows or prongs?) secure to the nares.

I would say get our resident guinea pig (Rested Gal) one and let her try it. She is usually "right on" regarding the good, bad, and the ugly.

It looks kinda interesting but not given to "fine tuning" at first glance. I'm with Linda let RG have a crack at it or a confirmed Nasalaire/II user. It certainly is "mimimal" and I continue to be interested in the Cannula interface but haven't tried it yet. There are limits to my checking account.

Johnny, do these specs make any sense to you ?

1.7 cmH2O @ 40 lpm
3.3 cmH2O @ 60 lpm
5.6 cmH2O @ 80 lpm
8.3 cmH2O @ 100 lpm

The ad says "disposable". I suppose that implies "inexpensive"? It kinda LOOKS... disposable.

I agree with Linda, spread a few around and let us field test it (in exchange for our candid opinions ). While you're at it send a few to the treeloft studio, that picture suggests it could use a few skillfully placed pad-a-cheeks. (assuming there's a market for the cannula).

I DO like the "minimalist" look about it. Looks more like an O2 delivery system attempting to penetrate the CPAP market. By looking at it I don't see how it could hold the pressure, doesn't look like much to hold it up the nose where it belongs. I'll wait for the RG report.

I would try it - I agree about asking rested gal to go first - shall we all chip in a buck or two each and have her be the formal forum labrat and ask her to submit a report?

I requested a sample of this mask. A lot of parts and looks very uncomfortable. I put it where it belongs - the trash can.

looks like just another form of the Nasalaire to me (yawn). I thought there was a patent stink a few years back, how are these guys dancing around that?

Does it double as a potato launcher?

As a Nasal Aire II person, (which is my favorite) I would try it.

Minimalism is great for sleeping.

What do I think?
The model is cute. What's her name?

Interesting design, though where in the world is the exhaust port? I'm wondering how well it would work for a person who sleeps on their stomache? Looks a tad flimsy on the design.

I agree with everyone else, have Rested Gal try it out. She always gives good opinions regarding positions and if it would work for them.

Greetings,

The producer has agreed to send samples to Titrator and Rested Gal. We'll see what they say!
