Leaking Mask

FairSpirit · Post by **FairSpirit** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 12:10 pm

Well, I have had luck with my Profile Lite Gel Mask not leaking air up until now, now everytime I move the least bit, it's leaking and driving me crazy. The noise even wakes me. Don't know what I should do. My CPAP and Mask and all were free due to our finiancial situation right now, but I can't afford to purchase a new mask. Should I contact the Medical Supply Company that set me up? Or my Sleep Doc? Or maybe it's just up to me now to try to buy and find a mask that won't leak? Perhaps something I can do to my Profile Lite Gel to help it not leak? Any info or advice is appreciated greatly. Wonder why the leaking just up and started?

How old is it?

If I were you I would definately try to get it exchanged. I find mine start leaking after roughly 3 months.

So sorry it took me a while to reply. My Mother just found out yesterday that she has Breast Cancer and so I was with her. Hard time in the family right now.

The mask is not old at all, been using it since May 26th I believe it was. I guess I'll see if anything can be done. Thanks.

Is your face clean???? Have you washed the mask this week in hot soapy water? Both of these have to be done.

Oh, and, um - I can be an idiot... I rushed to post and was insensitive there. Sorry about your mom.

Yes, I always make sure to clean my mask and face.
