Wisp plus oxygen equals.
Wisp plus oxygen equals.
much better sleep.
I love the wisp. I have virtually no leaks and it is so light. I don't get near as many pressure pulses either. I should have switched to it sooner.
I am now also on 2.5 L of oxygen at night and my basal O2 raised from 88.6 to 93. I still have an occasional dip below 89 but very few. I am feeling much more rested now and have more energy during the day. The first night on the oxygen I slept 10 hours! And had an AHI of 3.11 which for me is great. The oxygen connects at my mask so I am using Velcro zip ties to keep the O2 tubing and the cpap hose together. Works great and adds no weight.
Here is to many more nights of great sleep.

Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
I have a question... how are you using oxygen with the wisp mask, when I had mine I don't recall it having an oxygen port. I think I may be the next candidate for oxygen and I'm rather bummed that I won't be able to use my beloved tappap mask. I have two masks that have ports, my Quattro and hybrid, but I really don't want to go with a full face mask but I guess those are my choices. :

Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
According to the description, this adaptor could go between the main hose and the small hose that is attached to the mask.

Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
Note: please check with your doctor on recommended placement for your oxygen port.
High usage may limit your choices. (disclaimer to save frog butt)

Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
My adapter for the O2 is placed between the wisp short hose and the main hose. I just use Velcro to hold the oxygen tube to the cpap tube so I don't get tangled up in it when I move around in my sleep.
Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
I am so happy that you have got things sorted out and taken another big step to feeling better.
I know adding the O2 wasn't exactly at the top of your list of things you wanted to do but you will feel so much better.
I am so glad that you have progressed with taking care of yourself like this and didn't give up.
I tried the Wisp a while back but only lasted 90 minutes with it and sent it back ..if I had known you like it I would have sent it to you.
Did you know I experimented again? You know me..always bored and want to try new stuff so I bought a S9 Adapt SV....the ASV central treating machine even though my centrals are essentially a handful maybe sometimes and non other nights.
I adjusted to it quite well and it so nice and easy to breathe with. Don't know what my next experiment will be...I have run out of machines to try.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
I too am on O2, and have my oxygen connection between the humidifier and the main hose.
This way I don't have to deal with the O2 hose.
O2 level without CPAP or O2 - 83
O2 level with just CPAP - 89
O2 level with CPAP and O2 - 96

Re: Wisp plus oxygen equals.
I place my O2 adaptor between the CPAP machine and hose. I tried putting it between the long and short hoses but the concentrator keep going off and beeping. The current configuration produces many fewer beeps.
