Question on 420E/tearing off nasal pillow/chin strap

Post by gailzee » Tue Mar 15, 2005 10:30 am

I've looked thru the Franglish user guide for the PB 420E, and don't find that it has an alarm when one takes off the mask, or pressure changes, drops, etc.
Is this correct?
I am finding I have a new wrinkle, I take off the swift/c.strap, do not remember, find it everywhere. But when I check my Silverlining program in the morning, I'm finding, I'm ''on the machine'' sometimes for as little as 2-3 hours and off comes the beast.
What gives with that?
I wish it had a cow bell to ring, so I'd put it back on.......geez......
Any ideas, suggestions

GailZ,

How 'bout attaching your chin strap to the swift so it can't be pulled off without undoing the velcro under your chin? You would really have to wrestle it off if you tried doing so in your sleep.

I can top that, my chin strap was on the bathroom floor, 2 rooms away. So there is a question how did it get there.......house haunted by eternal sleep apnea sleep-deprived spirits. Now I'm sounding like Liam, who by the way, where is he and how is he doing?
