Quattro Air Users Trying F10

Post by filovirus » Fri May 02, 2014 2:49 pm

I am at the point where I will soon need a replacement cushions for the Air. The mask is about 5 months old and I would like to get a replacement to have a spare. I learned that the new F10 uses the same cushions as the Air. I have yet to see any reviews on the masks at CPAP.com. Wondering if it is worth waiting for my DME to get the new mask in. I am interested because I would have better vision with the F10 design when reading on going to bed. I went to the Air from the FX because I was having leaking into my eyes from the nose.

How long does it usually take for the DME companies to get new masks once a manufacturer releases a new design? New to this world!

Thanks,
Filo.

Results may vary.
--This is especially dependent on the management of your DME.
Your best strategy is to start asking, and pester them frequently if needed.

Depends on your DME, but mine takes about 2 days to order something and get it in. Most DME's probably take a bit longer though, but you shouldn't have to wait until they stock their shelves with a product. If it's out, they should be able to get it to you. Otherwise, I'd look for a new DME.
