And where?
Although a number of the sellers have it, it isn't even up on the Phillips-Respironics web site yet!

I saw this mask around Oct-Nov last year at our State Respiratory Conf. At that time it was only being made for Hospital use and the rep didn't have a demo that he could give me. It seemed fairly comfortable, however I will reserve judgement until I have tried one for a few weeks. Here is a link to the Hospital model on the Respironics website, it's marketed in the Hospital as a PerforMax.

Here's the picture again:
Brand new - just released today by Respironics
I was at Apria today, and they said the rep showed it to them a couple weeks ago. They have to order it. It's not yet in there inventory. One online supplier has it for $189 - but not in stock yet. They say it was just released today.
It looks promising. I want one.

Me too I'm going to cancel my ultra mirage order and wait. I've always been a sucker for test drives!

Sorry I'll have to google it, the pictures aren't comming up for me, I thought the picture was the same from last night.
Hmm seems awfully alot like the old Comfort full seal minus the forehead support, add new head gear, not that interested in trying it. I am however interested in the FitLife......sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Any comments on that strap that goes under the chin? How comfortable would that be, and what if it slips? I would need feedback since it's my hubby who wears the mask in this family.

I have a very sensitive nose bridge, so it will be interesting to me to hear how soft that area of the mask is and if the headgear can be adjusted lightly without having leak problems. Thanks to SoCAl and David for posting the images.

It looks like the chin support on the OptiLife that I use. It's extremely adjustable via the Velcro straps and very soft. While adjusting straps for optimal fit on my OptiLife, I woke up once or twice with it resting on my chin below my mouth. No biggie.
I think if the Hybrid mask (should get here by end of week thank goodness) doesn't help with my mouth leaks that this new mask will be my next choice.

So I wonder how you get it on and off, since there doesn't appear to be any clip? Velcro on and off? Or maybe once it's adjusted, and then you just slip it on and off?
We shall see. Maybe thats the numbering system they mention. Strap by numbers!

it goes on and off just like the OptiLife - it's built on the same type of frame. It weighs less than all RMD and F&P full-face masks too. There's nothing to break. Also, all 3 sizes fit on the same frame. The seal is really great because of the floating quality of the cushion. Lastly, it doesn't have an inner and outer pad and cushion that you have to take apart and fool with like on the other masks. No forehead pad dial knob to fall off in the middle of the night either.
