Hose position Activa

Post by rock and roll » Wed Nov 24, 2004 8:14 pm

For the first time I had water in my Activa this morning. I also for the first time draped my hose over the headboard. For some reason it seeemed to get in my way last night.

HEY MUCK, YOU READING THIS!

R&R, Is it finally getting cold in Texas!

Glad you now know what I was refering to. It's a pain trying to find the perfect way to run that hose. Several times I've tucked my hose into the blankets to keep it from pulling on my mask and when I rolled over away from my machine I pulled the whole lot of it off the shelf on to the floor.

I'm still thinking of getting one of those heated hoses. Although I've been using the swift nasal pillow interface lately so I've not had to contend with the cold splash in the nose.

I only get rainout when I use a nasal mask. When I use my full face mask, all is dry.

Good luck figuring it out. I think this whole game is trial and error anyway!
