Mask Seal Light

Post by DantewithVirgil » Tue Jul 20, 2021 8:11 am

It's been about two years of use for my Resmed 10, more than 5000 hours or so. I've had four nights in a row where i am seeing the mask seal red light.
I have a swift fx nasal pillow and have the setting to pillow, i've sat and took apart the headgear more than once, checked the humidifier line,
mimiced the sleep position. I score in the high nineties regularly save for this past week. This started with the new humidifier line, and a new headgear.
Any suggestions welcome!

welcome to the zoo!

i'm a bit confused by "new huumidifier line" as i don't know hat you're describing. hose?

also, are you saying you've used pillow mask for two years with a new headband? if so, go back to the old one and see if that helps.

you may also want to go look at some mask fitting videos on youtube. make sure you put in your mask as part of the search terms. you never know, you may pick up something that way that will help.

good luck!

Mimicking the sleep position to try to see what's happening is a good idea. So, there's no sign of a mask leak while you are doing this? Is it possible your mouth is opening during the night? That would show up as a leak, right? How old is the nasal pillow?
