mask pressure - johnamiano - 05-08-2013 I have changed from a nasal to a full face mask. The mask has no leaks but it seems to take more pressure to achieve results; is this normal? RE: mask pressure - trish6hundred - 05-08-2013 Hi johnamiano, WELCOME! to the forum.! Did you change your machine to the full-face setting? Hang in there for more suggestions.

Make sure your machine is set to full face mask if that's what you're using. It does make a slight difference in your therapy and having that setting correct is helpful. Your S9 has the option to change mask types.

The leak is very low. I had to change from a nasal to full face due to sinus problems. The new mask is very comfortable.
