I had a sleep study early Dec 2018 after 5 years of reasonably successful use of ASV machine.
The resp tech said the study "looks good" and that was it. I requested a full face mask because of possible mouth breathing and they recommended the F30.
They then scheduled me for a follow up in 5 months (May 2019)!!
I recently complained to them about the F30 not working well and eventually wrangled an appoint for the end of March 2019.
This is a university sleep clinic and I am not satisfied with their patient care but am in too deep to transfer without significant hassle. I feel they do a good job when you get or force their attention.
I think It's obvious that what changed is the mask. A mask is cheap compared to a sleep study or machine. Have you tried using your old mask or one like it? Can you post a typical chart for the time before the mask change, or post the overview chart from Sleepyhead?
