I tape my mouth often with nasal pillows. But have several times taped my mouth, then do a trial to see how difficult it is to open if needed. I find it doesn't take that much pressure to pop the tape loose. Im completely confident if Im going to puke, my mouth would be open. The new 3M Kind tape i...

Is there that kind of thing which detects the voltage of electrical equipment, when the electrical equipment stop working(voltage drops dramatically), the detector start to BEEP or make some noise to wake up the user? https://www.cpap.com/productpage/reliance-controls-power-out-failure-alarm-safety...

I started using the baby sensitive skin wipes but found that the cushions on my Quattro fx and Hybrid masks got soft real quick. This did not happen with the CPAP wipes. Also I found that baby shampoo still left a slight oily film on my mask. I started having major leaks with my Quattro fx mask afte...

I am thinking of restarting the South Beach Diet. I found this site very helpful: http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/

Bur I wonder if some of the cushions are defective regardless of size. Has anyone replaced theirs and had the problem disappear?

I had this problem with the small Quattro but not with the medium. The medium cushion stays very snugly in place. I wonder if the problem with the cushion separating from the mask frame was due to a defect in the cushion. Anyone notice if the problem disappears or persists once they replace their cu...

Hi BillH,
It could be that you require a large headgear instead of the medium that the mask comes with. The side arms should not be digging into your face.

I measured in between a small and medium. I went with a size small and was able to control leaks after much fiddling. But I found that the upper part of the cushion was compressing my nostrils and I ended up breathing mostly through my mouth as soon as I put it on. I had the same problem with the cu...

I only use EPR during settling mode. I switched to a FF mask due to exhalation puffs/ mouth leaks and after I got tired of chin straps and taping. I had always assumed that EPR should not be used as it would affect AHI. But I wonder if EPR could lessen mouth leaks because of increased comfort. This ...

Hi BB,
I use the padacheek strap covers to prevent marks on my face not to stabilize things. It makes the straps more comfortable.

Hi BB, I am not really good at reading graphs, but the bottom strap should not be tight enough to be uncomfortable. It kinda of defeats the whole purpose of this mask. You can try placing the medium sized mask slightly lower on your nasal bridge so that you have a little more of the cushion below yo...

I've used a little dab of lansolin gel on my old style Quattro, worked really well.

Well, after using the Quattro Fx for the past month and struggling with leaks and many strap adjustments, I think I have finally got it to work. Last night my AHI was 0.9. First time ever for me and especially good considering I use an S8 machine which seems to record much higher HI's than the S9. I...

Hi napmaster,
I am gonna check out this pillow at the Costco near me. Looks good!
