Announcing the Resmed N30i mask - DeepBreathing - 11-20-2018 I don't normally follow discussions of nasal or pillow masks, so I don't know if this has been discussed here before. Anyhows I jst got an announcement from Resmed, so I guess it's new. It looks to me like a copy of Philips' under-the-nose mask.

Here is the ResMed user guide https://pages.resmed.com/rs/241-RXK-073/images/airfit-n30i_user-guide_amer_eng.pdf Original Post... It appears that there is a new addition to full, pillow, and nasal -- called a "cradle" because it fits under the nose like, what else, a cradle. Definitely looks like a knock-off of the Respironics DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask and Headgear which comes with a "Fitpack" containing all four sizes of under-the-nose cushions for use with the specified frame size. Most people will use the medium size. The DreamWear mask worked great when I was on my back, however when I turned to my side I got leakage in the 6-20 L/min range -- often waking me up to adjust the frame. As long as I was stationary, all was well. I looked at the new ResMed AirFit N301 and am wondering if the strap closures are Velcro or magnets since I cannot use magnets with an implanted AICD/Pacemaker. I also wonder if ResMed includes the soft-wraps like the DreamWear. It is pricey at $289 MSRP and $259 retail (foreign pricing) and there appears to be a warning on one vendor's site that says **THIS MASK IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH RESMED AIRMINI TRAVEL DEVICE.** From what I see, it is available in Australia, the UK, France, and Canada -- and may not be available in the U.S. yet. The frame looked more robust, so I think I will try it in the next replacement cycle. RE: Announcing the Resmed N30i mask - DeepBreathing - 11-20-2018 Thanks SRL. I need to pay more attention - I see I actually posted in that thread you mentioned. There is another thread about this product, so I will close this thread now. |
