Mask recomendation - (soon to be Former)Mirage Micro user

Post by geoffc » Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:18 pm

Hey Guys,

I have exhausted my supply of mirage micro supplies. I finally found a DME that works with my insurance to get new supplies (been slowly using what I've had for a while). They told me the Mirage Micro is discontinued and I can't get supplies for it. (headgear & cushions, etc) I know I can get them elsewhere, but I would really like my insurance to cover it. They are not local so I will have to deal with them through the mail.

So, I ask, What mask would you recommend I switch too? I tried a bunch of the airfit masks when they first came out and they were not big enough, I have a big head (I wear a size 8.5 hat)

the Mirage Activa LT looks similar, but it's kinda hard to tell.

I've been using the Mirage micro for 10 years It worked well during my titration study May of 2010. Any change at this point is going to be an adjustment.

Looking for recommendations.

TIA,

Geoff

Call up ResMed and ask them if they discontinued that mask. I couldn't find where it had been discontinued.
It's possible that your DME is simply discontinuing stocking it...wouldn't be the first time people were told that their mask was no longer being made when in fact it was a DME simply not wanting to stock it.

If ResMed does confirm it is being discontinued....look at the F & P ESON

It looks similar to my eye and I hear that lots of people do well with it.
