New mask...new BiPAP settings???

Post by dcryandc » Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:03 am

I just purchased a new mask - the "Zest" by Fischer-Paykill, to replace my old ComfortGel nasal mask. (I like the new Zest better, BTW, except for the forceful exhaust airflow that blows over my wife like a tsunami ).

My question is, when I change the mask, do I need to change any settings on my BiPAP machine?

you shouldn't have to... but check your numbers if you can just to be sure.
