For those of you who use the Swift FX

Post by asylvia » Tue May 25, 2010 2:34 pm

what are your average leaks and what size pillows do you use?

i'm still in the sizing process with mine and have been doing some sort of experimentation with the different size pillows. i just wanted to see if the leaks i'm getting are abnormally large or about what everyone else seems to get.

thanks

surprisingly my leak # is excellent with this FX (vs with LT and II and the original swift)

Practically net leak is 0 (at pressure 9 the intended leak is around 28)

I started using the Small and stick with it. I traded my Large with Small but keeping the medium just in case

This is the best mask ever after testing so many on my CPAP journey:
Hybrid (disaster), Activa (so so but painful), UM (my first success but now painful), UM FF mask (no way), 2 Respironics masks (comfort gel - painful), one FP mask (very tolerable) and just now Opti-Life 9so far the only Respironics mask that I can sleep for one night 9all the rest are awful)
