Post by ephraimh » Thu Jun 01, 2017 2:59 pm

If you were using a ResMed Aircurve 10 that leaked and leaked even after you replaced the hoses, mask, cushions, headgear ,chin straps, what machine would you replace it with? thanks

Did you ever try taping your mouth to see if the leak was mouth breathing....assuming you are still using a nasal interface mask of some sort?

I was thinking along with the Pugsy, those look a lot like mouth leaks. But if you got this through a DME you may be able to have them check to be sure there are no system leaks, or the sensors are not bad.
