In my opinion, the equipment given to you is excellent, but I am not you. If after awhile you still don't like the mask, call the company that sold you them machine. Most companies allow a mask exchange within a certain time period.

Gary, the Remstar Plus machine is entry level equipment. It's good equipment for what it does. It's excellent equipment for someone who doesn't mind getting retitrated every couple of years, and going to their doctors alot if they are having problems. It's excellent equipment for the health care industry.

Remstar Pro and Auto, which have the capabilities for the patient (and doctors) to monitor the numbers, now those are EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT.

The size is marked on the rubber seal. It should be on the side that is on the right side of your nose (near where it meets the plastic)......also there may be a letter on the bottom center of
the seal......mine has LARGE on right side and L on the bottom.

Thanks Den

I was able to get into a setup mode by pressing the right and left arrow buttons on power up and at least enable AHI and Leak info on my M series (not sure why they would disable this info except for my earlier comment about getting you in for Dr appointments more often). You can also change the cm pressure level there, ramp settings, mask alert, auto off. If only getting used to this stuff was this easy.

Thanks again for all the input - you are certainly a helpful group.
