Update: air leaking around Ultra Mirage Mask

Post by BarryBlust » Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:45 am

Sorry not certain of my original title... I complained of massive air leakage from all around the mask. I found the problem and fixed.

Turns out neither of the port caps were attached... so of course air was pouring oout those little holes. Must be that leakage is difficult to pinpoint... I have such difficulty. While attempting my own version of a teflon fix I made the discovery. My guess is that the techs at the hospital are sneaking into the pharmacy during the night shift.

So many sleepless nights fighting with the problem... real bummer which need not happen!!

Many thanks to those who responded... you are a great bunch of bananas!!

Yicky. Glad you found the problem and fixed it. This is what sleep deprivation does to you. Really impedes your problem-solving ability.

Good luck!!!!!!
Barbara
