CPAP Athlete Dreamstation Settings
#21
RE: CPAP Athlete Dreamstation Settings
Keep trying to get your mask to fit consistently. I'm not seeing leaks so much as addressing your comment about the Amara View keeping seal better. I myself endured using that mask for almost 6 months, but could never get consistent fit and sealing.

I've since moved on to first the ResMed F20 mask and now the Fisher & Paykel Simplus and Vitera. These 2 F&P masks are much better for me. I've not used my PAP and mask for many months due to needing a different type of therapy. Even so, I had a titration recently with my Vitera and just like that my leak rates were under 7 the whole night and it was not set uncomfortably tight as I remember my Amara View to have required.

I agree. I could never get Amara View to seal on my face. If I could, it had to be cranked on so tightly that my teeth, jaw, and face bones hurt so badly.

F20 with memory foam seals like a charm for me! I wish every mask had a memory foam option.

Hey guys I recently changed to the P10 mask and it works so much better than the amara view for me.

I sleep the night with it on. I do wish the mask was better and it stayed securely in place.

Can you please tell me if the therapy is working well or if i need to adjust setting.

pandaman13  - It would help if you used the F12 or the Fn+F12 for Mac when in OSCAR to take the screenshot.  Using this process will collapse the calendar and allow us to see the important data below it.  

Also, I would suggest that you update your profile, so a reader can have a little more information.

I think I was in your thread on reddit, glad to see you hear now. Smile If you haven't I would try c-flex, I did not like a-flex, but you're doing really well regardless!
