Quattro FX Sizing Gauge?

Post by hobbs » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:30 pm

Anyone know where to get one of these, BEFORE purchasing the mask? Would be nice to know what size mask to order to begin with.

I would think ResMed would send you one for free. If not PM me and you can borrow mine if you pay for postage both ways.

You can make your own.

First download the Mirage Quattro fitting template.

Then print it out, and use a ruler to mark the dimensions given by cpap.com.

The Mirage Quattro sizes DO NOT match up directly with the Quattro FX sizes. The Quattro FX sizes are a bit smaller than the Mirage Quattro sizes.

To get a more accurate idea of your size, measure from the top of the bridge of your nose down to the place in between your bottom lip and chin. View the images below to see where on the face to measure. Compare your measurement with the size measurements here:

* Small: 3 9/16"
* Medium: 4"
* Large: 4 3/8"
It's not clear in the picture on that page, but the the points to measure are the same as for the mirage quattro template.

If you fall between sizes, it might be worth sending for the QFX fitting gizmo, but if you're clearly small, medium, or large, the modified MQ template should be good enough.

You can get sized by your local DME - whether or not you buy from them is up to you.
