I have found my perfect Full Face Mask (I think).

Post by Liam1965 » Thu Feb 03, 2005 8:08 am

Unfortunately, it is in development and won't be available for 6-9 months. Apparently, ResMed is coming out with a FF version of the Activa.

I still need an FF mask for that 1 day in 4 that I am stuffed up and can't use a nasal mask. But I'm still getting a red sore on the bridge of my nose from the Ultra Mirage, and the Respironics FF mask is a joke, thing leaks like a sieve, even when strapped down uncomfortably hard to my head.

But I have tried the Activa nasal mask, and I love the way it feels, and ResMed is supposedly coming out with a full face version.

So I guess I just deal with sores on the bridge of my nose until it comes out. But if anyone else really likes the Activa and didn't know, I thought the info that this new one is coming out might be appreciated.

Liam, font of information.

Give us more details...Lot's of rumors the end of last year on the Activa FF but no actual official info. Sounds like you may have gotten more info...where?

This info was from Kim, my DME. They're definitely hearing about it, but in the 6 month timeframe, and she says I should think more like 9 months or even 12 before there are enough of them that Keene Medical actually receives any.

But she didn't present it as a rumor, she presented it as fact that it's coming out in about 6 months.

That's all I know. She's got a note in her planner to call me just as soon as they're actually shipping.
