Encore Viewer

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.I bought my encore viewer software in August 2009 and it worked fine.But lately when you go to view your results the starting date is stuck on September 28,2009 and will not change.I can manually up it but it used to do it by itself.I have reinstal...

Re: Mask for high pressure (can you recommend)

Dave...

I forgot to put in my pressures in.My IPAP min.is set at 15 and my IPAP max. is set at 30.So you see I have no trouble with leaks at high pressure.

Re: Mask for high pressure (can you recommend)

Dave...

You don't say if you are at present using a full face or not.I have used full face but settled to use a nasal mask.I just picked up the new Resmed Softgel.It is an awsome mask,almost no leaks,light weight and very quiet.

Re: CENTRALS

My EPAP is set at 14.As for the maximum IPAP I do go right to the top(30.0)on ocasions.When I first started therapy back in August about 1/2 of the time it went high.The longer I am in therapy the line is coming down.My average Peak IPAP is running from 18 to 20.

Re: Mirage SoftGel is in the house!

Well RT,I give it a go last night.What a awsome mask.I like the Activa LT but no where does it compare with the softgel.Most of the night I did not know I had a mask on.On the sores on your nose,I wonder if you have it too tight or not properly postioned.

Re: Mirage SoftGel is in the house!

I have an Activa LT and will be trying the softgel cushion on that frame tonight.I placed my order online Friday and have tracked that will come in the mail box today.I know I sure like the Activa LT that I use now.Leaks are no problem,noise is minimal and it is comfortable.

Re: New resmed mask

The new softget uses the same frame as the Activa LT.I am using the Activa myself and have a Activa LT on order.I see we can use all 3 cushions on this frame.Cuts down prices when you only need to buy cushions and not the whole set up.
