Resmed: interchangeable straps/headgear?

Post by arthuref » Wed May 08, 2019 11:09 pm

I've been using the Resmed FX Mirage mask, but due to extreme dry mouth, I'm giving full masks a try.

I just found a Resmed Quattro Air F10 mask on ebay that I ordered, but it does not come with headgear. Anyone know if the Mirage FX headgear will fit?

Also, curious to hear any advice about full face masks...

Why don't you just try it to find out?

That's why I posted. I'd like to order headgear asap if needed, instead of waiting until the mask arrives.

While ResMed does have a couple of headgears that are sort of interchangeable between some masks....as a general rule they aren't.
When they are interchangeable you will often see them listed in a mask's list of replacement parts available.
So there might be 2 headgear options available.

My suggestion is go to each mask's product page and pull up the headgear image and look to see if they are remotely the same.
If not...probably won't be interchangeable for sure and maybe not even if they look sort of the same.

Or just wait until you get the mask and see...and if it doesn't then order the headgear...only delays your experiment a few days.

You said you were using the ResMed Mirage FX and asked if that headgear would fit the F10.... If you are ordering new headgear...order the headgear for the F10.
