Re: Same pressure, no matter what type mask?

Steve
the mask fit function operates at 10 cmh2o, so it may seem as if the pressure is higher. Don't forget to change the configuration to Fullface or the machne will not compensate for the mask correctly

I do not know what unit you areusing so am not sure that you may need to turn up the humidity a bit to1 or 1.5 but this will very by the relitive humidity in the room as well. if your temp is 80 and you have yo...

Re: S9 ClimateLine hose (mask end) stretching

There was a post about using silicone tape on the Climate Line hose to prevent tears, awhile ago, and I bought some to wrap around the rubber end of the hose and a few inches of the hose, to stabilize it: http://www.amazon.com/F4-Tape-Self-fusing-Silicone-Oxide/dp/B001HETINI/ref=pd_cp_hi_1 This mig...

Is your AHI lower than it was before? What is the breakdown of CAI, OAI and HI?
