Tooly, surely you are not thinking about trying it with your pressure of 19. I can't believe you are not on a Bi-Pap.
This mask looks interesting. But look at the exhale ports.
Tooly would blast his bed partner right outta bed ...

This whole subject looks like when the video gamers are waiting for a new joystick or game system. I guess we are all looking for the best equipment. I like the looks of the hybrid but since I can't get another mask from Medicare until Sept I will have lots of time to read the reviews and find out if it is a winner or a dud.

I can't help my self I've developed an unhealthy addiction to new masks I want this one I also want the New gel mask thats out!
I was going to fight for a Bi-pap and still might buy an auto but strangely enough I have gotten used to 19, I don't even use the ramp any more.
The biggest downfall for me at this pressure is having to over tighten masks to stop leaks.
Those Exhale ports do look kind of large
Maybe I'll have to install a seatbelt for the wife

Of course we called.
Your told to go through your sleep local distributer.
I get the feeling they don't sell directly to the public.
any word

It will officially be released 8-1-06. I will have a sample in a couple of weeks and will post what I think about it.
Innomed is the manufacture and Teleflex is the distributor but I wouldn't be surprised if Teleflex buys Innomed. Teleflex also owns Hudson RCI.

I called the customer service, they said DMEs can start ordering next week. They started sending product to the sleep lab this week.

It usually involves some sort of deception (fraud?). I was on the phone
and the person at the other end assumed I was a Doctor, so I played
along ... and the sample was sent right out. It is amazing in life what
you can learn/obtain when you accidentally say the right buzz words.
One person must get a prescription and pay to have an Oximetry study
done, and the next person gets a free oximeter sent right out! Hmmm...

Tooly, What new gel mask are you referring to? I'm struggling with mine.
Thanks

Definitely good footage and it looks like it MIGHT be a winner for many people.
Biggest question its leaves open is noise and why the heck they didn't have the exhaust blowing UP instead of straight out? From the video, it appears there is plenty of space on the mask to have aimed the exhaust ports straight up.
I bet there will be a few workarounds to THAT issue popping up pretty quick, with the creative bunch here coming up with some air deflectors.
It will definitely be interesting to hear the reviews of this interface!
