Initial Feedback on AirFit F10 FF Mask

[mols001]

I just started using the Resmed AirFit F10 mask and really like it. My leak has been very minimal,
and the mask stays in place. The first download showed basically no leak. I like that it does not
touch the forehead, and I really like the quick clip to take it off easily.
I think it is an improvement over the Quattro FX mask.

What do you mean the "quick clip?" My new AirFit F10 straps attach by loops around the mask frame post. I would rather have clips like my old Mirage Quattro has. Are there different AirFit F10 strap attach versions available? I like my AirFit F10 so far and really like the hose quick disconnect? Comes in handy during the nite when you have to make the dreaded trip to the Occupy.

The Quick clip that I am talking about is the part where you take it off from where it attaches to the tubing. That makes it convenient so you don't have to tug
the tube off if you get up in the middle of the night, and you can leave your mask on. Otherwise, I still also have the loops for the headgear.

Yep, the tube quick clip is awesome. I really like the AirFit F10, but still getting use to the headgear loops. I still prefer the headgear strap quick clips.

Those of you finding AirFit F10 FF okay, what pressures are you talking about. Most "flimsy" FF mask leak like crazy no matter what at my pressure 22/18. Any of you tried the AirFit F10 FF For Her?

My AirFit F10 for Him pressure is set at 5/15 auto mode. My leaks are a little hi too. Only had new mask and device for sixteen days. Have hit a hi of 35 and low of 7.

My pressure is not high, 8-11, but I was getting some mean leaks when I first used the FFM. Since I started using liners or the mouth guard, all leaks are gone.

I just started using the Airfit F10 for 4 nights (thanks to Jen!), and my pressures are 8 - 18 and the highest pressure I'll see on any given night is a 14+. I really love the mask, but I am getting some leaks. Thanks to Pugsy (she has finally gotten thru to this ole' fart... ), my leaks are 1-3 l/m... so I'm not too concern. I think if you keep using a mask long enough, you'll learn the nuances about the mask, and will be able to "tame" it.

OMG...miracles do happen.
Congrats on having success with this new mask. Never too old to learn new tricks.

I tried a RemZzz mask liner but didn't seem to improve leakage, plus it is a PITA to use. What is a mouth guard and how is it used with a full face mask? All FFM I have used seem to leak some. I think it is happening when I sleep sideways. Next mask I am going to try out is a ResMed Quattro FX. That is what I used recently for a Titration study and the technician said it had very little leakage. I just wish the FX had the newer quieter type vent like the AirFit F10 and Quattro Air FFM have. I am also thinking of trying out a PR FitLife Total face mask too. I have heard it has lots of issues with leaks too, but you never know till you try it out.

Follow this link to a video about the mouth guard. It really works at eliminating leaks

WOW, thanks flyingwithoutwings, very interesting. Did you order your mouth guard from the web site in the video?

I was not able to tame my leaks in Quattro Air until I got RemZzzzs, and now with the AirFit F10 I am still using them, but the amount of time spent in large leak is lower, usually 0, rarely more than 3%. I've turned the F10 into my main mask, and the Air is my backup mask.

I am on a straight pressure of 12

No, when I saw the video I had a mouth guard that I bought for no particular reason, and that night I tried it and it worked. This is what I have. It really keeps the bottom jaw forward.

OK, thanks. I am going to get me one when I have a chance and post how goes it. Good info, thanks again.

Sports Authority has a lot of mouth guards and a couple of boil & bite mouth guards.
Make sure whichever one you buy that it's for both upper and lower teeth. I saw a lot that are just for the upper teeth and that wouldn't help to keep your bottom jaw forward.
