I don't have that mask, but my full face mask the elbow pops out sometimes but is easy to pop back in.
Here's the guide from the Quattro that tells how to take apart and put it back together. Maybe that will help you know how to set it in so that it stays.

Rig a support for the hose so you can better control it at night. It it's pulled on hard it will pop out, mayba a couple of turns of electrical tape around the area where it pops in would make it fit tighter, even teflon tape. jim

You could raise the machine with a milk carton case ect, and the hose hanger would mount on the headboard. also a 10 foot hose is made for more reach, 6 foot is usually plenty. Jim

Re: My Elbow Keeps Popping Out...
good idea! I have my cpap on a little table beside the night stand and it is below the mattress and I can still drape the hose over one of the posts on the headboard. I don't get tangled up on it or any thing. I don't thnk I move around that much at night. My head board has 3 tall posts on it and I can use either one of the posts to drape it over. Your idea is a neat one. I would think a pwerson can use a set up like that, just make one out and old lamp that swings out. The elbow on my mask popped out a time or two, but I was able to snap it back in and I honestly thoguht I broke my mask. It is supposed to be able to pop out for cleaning and then after cleaning it then pop it right back in. Take care nad have a great day, Huggies, Fay
