Hi everyone,
2 months ago I got my first Comfort Gel Blue FFM and wow I love it! I'm a mouth breather and have for years just used a standard gel nasal mask.
But today while wiping out the mask with a napkin, the elbow came off in my hand.
I can't get a new mask until Dec. 3 and I don't have my old nasal gel mask. I'm trying to use packing tape to keep the elbow on the mask, resulting in comical results.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on what to do? I can't find any info on this online or how the elbow is even attached.
Thanks,
Chris
Elbow on Comfort Gel Blue FFM came off!?!?
Re: Elbow on Comfort Gel Blue FFM came off!?!?
On most masks the elbow is a removable /replaceable part. I have a Quattro and when I do clean my mask (not often) I remove the elbow. Can't you just push the elbow back in place?

I have the same mask; and if the plastic is not cracked, it should snap back together.
Edit: the previous model had a replacement elbow sold by our sponsors.

I put the elbow back into the hole on the mask and it falls right out. It doesn't snap into place or anything. I am not sure if there's supposed to be a locking ring or something or what.... but it's not staying in place.
