Howdy Ashkat. I've gone back to my other mask until I can ask the people at my sleep clinic about the problem. Something must be wrong with what I am doing, because there is no way anyone could exhale against this pressure...and it's not there with the other mask.

The S8 Compact does not have EPR, it is the most basic flow generator of the S8 range.

Cheers,

Bill

But you do need to select the correct mask in the settings on the ResMed....

[quote="NotthatBob"]I'm using a ResMed S8 Compact with Humidaire 3i. It is a pretty bare bones unit, I think. I am going to a "sleep center" which is pretty much "one stop shopping." They do the testing, they sell the machine, they train on the machine. Trouble is, it's the weekend and no trainers are working on Friday. I'd like to try out the new mask this weekend, but maybe not.

Howdy, Tex. The one on Westlake Drive? I have been unimpressed with the "service after the sale."
