Just got this mask 2 weeks ago, been wearing full face masks for over 10 years. This is a game changer. From the first night I knew this was what I’ve needed for years. Never going back to the old style. I had zero adjustment time, immediately was terrific.
The segment on how you put it on is life changing! So simple, and after watching this, so obvious. But somehow I didn't figure it out on my own. Thank you!
I have this mask too and I thank you for this video. Two nights ago I ripped the mask off my face in exasperation because I could not get a proper fit. The portion of the video where you showed us how to put the mask on was the "ah-Ha!" momen I needed. Thank you and many blessings to you!
Just got this mask, and it is totally awesome after trying 8 different mask, and I'm not kidding! Hard to believe this mask does not leak on the side of my nose, impressive! Good video Lary!
I always used full faced mask before and found them exceedingly uncomfortable. I just got this mask through a sleep study and I love it. It fits my face so much better than my Simplus did.
10:30 I have been using Cpap for two years and I’ve tried several masks. I always had trouble with leakage. I had another sleep study done recently and was given the Evora - I can’t believe how comfortable and “leakage free” it is! GREAT mask and very helpful video! Thank you!
Cool I couldn't figure out how to pull the mask apart I knew pulling the silicone would ruin it so I needed to hear someone explain how to cause the guy in the demonstration video he doesn't say anything and just pops it apart and I couldn't see what he did it was annoying after seeing you do it it was instant super easy glad I found your video before I ripped the silicone off I had been just cleaning it together and it was more time consuming and wasn't sure if I was getting clean enough so thanks again for taking the time to make a proper demonstration unlike the the actual product video demonstration as the guy says nothing and does it real fast and makes it look easy but didn't know it was the two plastic pieces that come apart I thought it was the actual silicone that pulled off... Cheers m8
I just got off the phone with ResMed. I was using nasal pillows but couldn't continue, throat so dry it was causing me to choke. (For lack of a better word) Also, my nose would be sore. Bottom line I'm being sent this very mask in 5 to 7days. I wasn't happy about a full-face mask- had one years ago and hated it, simply became non-compliant. Watching your video and reading the comments is making me feel better about this. Just hoping it doesn't leave red indentations on my face.
Nice review! Very informative, quick and to the point. I just got one of these and got some great pointers from your video. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks!👍
I needed to know if the air (exhalation)? coming from the bottom of the mask was right! I took the mask off about 4 times because of the air coming from the bottom side before I got to your video explaining what was happening, and that it was supposed to do that! My doctor recommended this mask because I was not happy with the ResMed n30 nasal cushion which I used for almost 3 months using a chin strap! The cushion starting breaking down and I had to tighten/adjust it so much that it was no longer comfortable! Thank you for your detailed instructions!💯
New subscriber thank you for showing me how to put the mask on correctly. That was my biggest problem but after watching this video I feel like a pro at it. Thanks for the very informative information. Appreciate you so much!!
best mask ever but I have 1 issue maybe I'm using it wrong. the mask cut under my nose where my lip meets my nose and another cut at the tip of my nose. is my pressure too high for it.
The respiratory therapist suggested I try the Evora since I would rather not have anything on the bridge of my nose. He said it is narrow enough to fit my face, so I will be going to try it soon.
I was becoming discouraged until I tried this mask yesterday. LOVE IT! I do wish F&P did a better job diffusing the exhalation ports as they are a little noisier than other masks. Question: do configure my CPAP machine as full face or pillow for this mask? Thanks for the great review!
Just started CPAP and really liking this mask. Curious....I'm getting moisture around the seal throughout the night. Enough where I feel the need to remove the mask and dry off my face. I don't believe I'm experiencing "rainout" since I'm not seeing any condensation within the mask or tube. Wondering if I need to adjust the fit or fine tune the moisture settings on my machine? I'm using the ResMed AirSense 10 w/heated tube. Thoughts?
I am a caregiver for my husband. This mask does have a good seal, but it is leaving pressure points on my husband's cheeks. I don't have it too tight. I want to know is there something I can get for this mask so it does not cause sores on his face? I looked online, but I haven't found anything that will help with this mask.
it is a toss up. If you are full "80's cop mustache" then you may have trouble with all of the minimal contact style masks. It just cant get the correct seal under the nose if you have a thick mustache in most cases.
Is this compatible w/ ResMed AirSense 11 machine? Also, how does this compare w/ R’s similar F30, which has 2 separate holes for the nostrils? It fit well at bedtime, but shifted when I relaxed my head while sleeping, causing bad leaks.
It works great on the AirSense 11. It is similar to the F30 on fit, but they are pretty different on the way they feel. Worth a shot if you would like to use something similar to the F30.
I realize this is a year after you asked, but there is no divider for the nostrils. One hole for the nose and one hole for the mouth. I really like that there is no divider. Both nostrils get air at all times!
Love the video but nothing ever comes easy for me even trying switch out the medium mask with the larger one. I still can’t figure it out the other sizes don’t have the holes to attach the straps . I’m so damn frustrated right now. The medium one has the holes but not large. Does it slide out or in? Makes no sense.
Thank you for the review. I just got my CPAP, and I kept wondering if I was fitting this mask correctly. One question, how tight do you want the mask fitted? Been having a hard time figuring out the correct tightness
So, you have to have it sealed and comfortable. It can take some fine tune adjustment to get it to the point of a good seal without overtightening and causing discomfort.
With many F&P masks the design wants to be loose... the silicone part inflates like a balloon and creates the seal. Watch some other videos on Evora FF fitting.
I have been using this mask for a couple months now. And I was beginning to hate it. One of the reasons was I couldn’t figure out how to put it on right way to breathe through both nostrils. Thank you for showing that. I just did it with the way you just did it and worked great. Now reason number two is the plastic frame how do you get it to not dig into you cheeks? It hurts and digs in.
This may sound like a dumb question but do you select the "full face mask" selection on the CPAP machine or another one? The Res Med F40 says to select "pillows" and NOT full face mask. I plan to get this Evora mask and wanted to have that info ready when the mask arrives. Have been using ResMed Mirage FX nasal mask for about 7 years and I like it but they are phasing it out. Am curious about a good full mask. Thanks for your reviews. They are well done and very helpful.
I do not have any information from fisher on how to set the resmed machine for their mask unfortunately. My gut would say full face, but I am really not sure.
I'm a bipap user and the only mask I've been able to use so far is the AirTouch F20. I got the Evora today and tested it and I didn't get any leaks at all and it was fantastic but under my nose started hurting quite a lot after 2 hours. I tried 2 sizes and experienced the same issue. I would really appreciate if you could please give me advice. Do you think I'm making the upper straps too tight? I really don't want to have to go back to a full face mask I'm sick of getting redness on the bridge of my nose.
Hi, I found you need to have the Evora straps not too tight it needs to float on your face as such. Persevere as it really is a great mask and will help you so much if you can overcome these little issues.
Over a decade, nasal pillows masks have completely destroyed my nostril cartilage, it took that long to let all of the cartilage develop multiple tears so it is not painful to wear these devices. I hate cpap. No mask has ever fit me without leaking somewhere. Pillows let my mouth fall open and the air rushes out for hours, giving me a horrible three day sinus misery like a bad cold. So I tape my mouth shut or wear very strong uncomfortable non-stretch bands over my mouth and chin. Cpap sucks.
I was scrolling too fast and missed your comment. I had just commented that I am experiencing soreness under my nose. Did you manage to find a solution for this?
@@shaggs2riches That's the problem with that design. It can not be overcome. It has to push upward hard unless your pressure is low, like for a small person. Some people claim that using vaseline will make a seal with less pressure.
Thank you so much for the video. Im going to assume this type of mask compensates for when the user opens their mouth during sleep? Thanks again for the video.
So I just got mine a week ago and the fit is great, but there is a constant (pretty strong) stream of air coming from exhalation holes. Leak is at 0, so did I set something up wrong?
I just got mine today! No more sore bridge of the nose and hair loss from friction. I do question how often you replace the mask or the silicone piece.
I find it very easy to disconnect the cushion from the mask by pulling the BOTTOM of the hard plastic that is attached to the cushion up and away from the mask.
I tried a similar mask that did not go up over the nose like this one. It leaked badly unless it was strapped unbearablyly tight. I have a box of poor fitting masks that I wore less than a week each, $2000 worth of poor fits that were recommeneded. Every damn one of them worked in the doctor's office but never fit right when I laid down at home. CPAP sucks.
The plastic which seats the silicon mask rubs up against my underside of my nose and I get boils. I like the mask but the boils are too painful and I don't know how to stretch out the plastic holder. Do you have any ideas I have the largest size holder and I don't know if they make one bigger than that
No unfortunately there is not a larger size. You may want to look in to the other minimal contact versions that are similar to this one. Link below will help cpapmyway.com/blog/best-minimal-contact-full-face-cpap-masks
Will this mask work with ResMed heated tube? I've been wanting to get the Resmed F40 mask, but its not available here in Canada. And who knows when it will come here. My cpap supply store has no clue what I was talking about when I mentioned the Resmed F40, he looked at me like I had 2 heads.
I have the f30 and although I can get a good seal over time Ive had to tighten it a lot to keep the seal. Also the 2 holes for breathing sometimes is off and I have a hard time breathing. I cut the bridge off once and it was much easier to breath. I have this coming in today and am excited to try it.
@@CPAPmyway I got the Evora and prefer it to the f30. I had to up my pressure by about 4 pts so I didnt feel like I was struggling to breath. Thanks for the review!
So the constant air flow coming from the 2 holes even when not exhaling is perfectly normal? Maybe I don’t have a firm grasp of how my cpap works because in my mind it can’t blow air down my airway if it’s constantly blowing air out. It would be weak wouldn’t it?
I just received this mask and I'm HATING it! It is not the same one they used in my sleep study and can't figure outthe fit. It feels like it's just forcing air up my nose and over it. I don't get it
I am having a problem with air leakage on both sides of my mask. I don’t want to tighten up the bottom straps too much as this becomes uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
So far I only have a couple of successful nights with the mask. I must say when it is adjusted correctly the sleep is sweet; but when it is not adjusted right sleep is all but impossible. I have experienced massive leaks, a painful nose. Also a flapping on the side of the cushion. When not adjusted correctly tightening the mask only makes things worse.
Just received my Evora Full Face, the seal has a perfumy smell on the x small size, which I'm probably going to need as I am a small person. I'm going to try the s/m and hope it works. There isn't any way I could tolerate the perfumy one. I tried washing it, let it soak for 10 minutes with soap and baking soda, didn't help at all.
Best mask yet and I have had a few. Great for side sleeping and turning in bed. My only criticism is that the small piece which connects the mask to the tube is too loose, unlike that demonstrated, resulting in it and the tube separating from the mask.
I'm using this mask and was really pleased with it.. however, when I review my data - I find the leak showing in the 50 L/min range... how can I fix this since I don't feel it really leaking anywhere except the air coming out the bottom (though I do occasionally feel like it may be blowing into my eyes a tiny bit).
You might want to go down a size on the mask cushion. Link below for reference. If you can not get the leak into the acceptable levels, then you may have to consider another mask. I have a link below for a comparison of others like this one. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-mask-parts/full-face-cushion-replacements/evora-full-replacement-cushion cpapmyway.com/blog/best-minimal-contact-full-face-cpap-masks
@@CPAPmywayI adjusted the mask straps a bit last night and my leakage went down to the 28 L/min range.. what is an acceptable level may I ask? I can try the XS mask but that seems "too small"?
@@CPAPmywayOk thx.. going to try the XS mask tonight because the seal with S/M is just not cutting it. Was over 75 last night and I could barely hear any leaking at times and just a bit of hiss other times.
I tried the F30i was so loud. Wanted it because of the top hose connection but not sure I can use it. I think the RT was pushing this one but I knew nothing about it
@@drogs I sleep on my side and back. Very good fit and seal sleeping on my side. My bipap pressure is 22/14 and it seals well. I tried the Resmed f30 and this fit far better. As always, your mileage may vary.
What setting do I use on a ResMed Air 11? Its currently set to pillow but I'm not sure its correct for the Evora? Any opinions? I'm trying to take what my CPAP supplier said with a grain of salt as she said any kind of mask I want would be the same as any other and it depends on what's comfortable for me. I'm not doing this for the comfort of it and I want to sleep better.
That is a tough one. If it is causing that much abrasion, then you may have to try a different style. We have another comparison video on those type masks that might help. Link below. ruclips.net/video/J4MIqVZgyR8/видео.html
We have people that love each of them, and we have people that hate each of them. I would ask yourself whether you would need tube on top of head or on front and try one. If you go with us we have a 30 day guarantee so you can swap it out for free if you don't like the first one.

I’m using an xs. At first it was great, but now it leaks at the nose super bad when the pressure is at 14. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any tips?
ResMed is discontinuing my heretofore favorite mask (Quattro FX) next spring so I am in the market for a new type. I really like this mask but am having trouble finding the "sweet spot" fit-wise. Too loose and I get leaks; too tight and I get pimple-like marks/abrasions on my face on both sides by the bottom of my nostrils. Any ideas other than keep experimenting with adjusting the straps?
Quattro FX was such a good mask. I don't understand why they discontinue masks that work when it is such a key part of compliance. I worked in the industry for 14 yrs. My husband tried every FFMask and it was the only one that had minimal leaks.
Update on my last thing I realize why I realize why mask was making a noise I was in the small medium cushion oh, now I'm using the large cushion and much better better seal I'm keeping this mask my wife and I call it the elephant mask but it works
This evora - vents right out the front of the mask. Tornado volumes of air. Also - the mask - hose seems to transmit vibration (sound) thru the mask/hose - more than my Resmed F30 mask. I can hear the CPAP machine cycling constantly. Its annoying. I'm also not a big fan of the extra little hose and no easy disconnect swivel connector. I had hoped to like the Evora more than I do.
I have this problem when the air hits my sheet or blanket so I keep pulling the linens away from my face and neck. Then it is very quiet. But needs readjustment through the night as I wake up to find the linens up close to my face again.
Your video is great. I like the mask but I am getting condensation in the tubing almost every time I use it and that is daily. What if any solutions are there? Thank you
Maybe need to lower the humidity I turned mine right off and don't use the water reservoir because I was waking up feeling like my lungs were full of fluid and was Weezy and had to cough several times for the next few hours to clear out my lungs but if you just have moisture in the tube I would imagine that is normal if tube is heated and humidity is on I guess it depends on how much is in there
@@CPAPmyway turns out the anti asphyxiation flap was stuck open! Took it apart and adjusted, now working great. I’m about 2 months into my therapy and loving this mask so far
Your video and instructions are great! It helped me find the correct mask fit without any seepage. My question is when I want to take a drink of water using a straw, what do I release to do so without taking it apart and waking up to turn the light on to reassemble it? I have tried pulling out the tubing, but find it hard to reconnect it.
this is the mask they issue in the UK under the NHS, national health service. i didnt like it because my nostrils would suck the silicone in on the edges when inhaliing (long nostrils) and block my nostrils. they should of created a beak like shape that goes over the bulb of the nose and not cut out those ridiculous shapes in L/m/s and instead have one giant cut out.
I have this mask and have been experiencing soreness on either side of the bottom of my nose (not far from my nostrils outside of my nose). Pimples with pus, and now read marks. Also have been experiencing air leakage from the seal... top and bottom. I have made numerous adjustments to the straps. Very sleep deprived from the leaks and trying to adjust. Is there a mask cover or layer available that would help with these issues? Thanks in advance.
I understand. Some masks have better diffused exhalation ports. But they all will have a steady flow of air to make sure that your CO2 gets flushed out of the mask.
This has worked the best for me as far as low leakage rate, but I don’t like the front hose, and it really blows a high rate of air at my husband when I’m facing him in bed. I also have to keep it qiuite tight for it to not leak. I have a small face and head. The small medium worked best.
The back neck pressure from mask strap is not tolerable for me. Because of things like stroke, seizure, headache, narcolepsy, cataplexy, epilepsy, etc., I cannot use this type of headgear with that pressure. I had a previous full face without the strap plate on the neck base. This strap shortens wear time considerably. It also keeps me from using my machine entirely some nights.
That stupid connection where the hose connects to the mask sucks. It pops off many times through the night. Getting woke up by that loud air sound is worse than Sleep Apnea!!!!!!!!!!
Just got this mask 2 weeks ago, been wearing full face masks for over 10 years. This is a game changer. From the first night I knew this was what I’ve needed for years. Never going back to the old style. I had zero adjustment time, immediately was terrific.
Great to hear!
Looking forward to using it. I wear glasses. I think it's going to be perfect for me
I got this mask three days ago and wow! It's great. I wore three other types they all leaked. Not this one. I'm getting a good night's sleep now.
Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for the video.
Im going to assume this type of mask compensates for when the user opens their mouth during sleep? Thanks again for the video.
Yes it works well for a mouth breather.
Does this work well with high pressure? I have tried this style before (different brand) and it didnt seem to do well with my higher pressure.
So I just got mine a week ago and the fit is great, but there is a constant (pretty strong) stream of air coming from exhalation holes. Leak is at 0, so did I set something up wrong?
The exhalation should be constant. So it sounds like you are doing just fine. You will always feel air coming out of the exhalation holes.
Yup it's all good it's supposed to do that
I just got mine today! No more sore bridge of the nose and hair loss from friction.
I do question how often you replace the mask or the silicone piece.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
We just received these to sell... it's a great mask and should do well..
Thanks for the input!
I find it very easy to disconnect the cushion from the mask by pulling the BOTTOM of the hard plastic that is attached to the cushion up and away from the mask.
Thanks for the input.
the mask sealed well and was okay to sleep in but the sides made my incredibly dry shin bleed. going to try the nasal style evora instead.
OK. Let us know how that one works out.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I tried a similar mask that did not go up over the nose like this one. It leaked badly unless it was strapped unbearablyly tight. I have a box of poor fitting masks that I wore less than a week each, $2000 worth of poor fits that were recommeneded. Every damn one of them worked in the doctor's office but never fit right when I laid down at home. CPAP sucks.
Sorry that you are having such issues.
Mine didn't come with a frame holder to clip the mask where can I get it online
You can buy the entire Evora mask kit here at the link below.

The plastic which seats the silicon mask rubs up against my underside of my nose and I get boils. I like the mask but the boils are too painful and I don't know how to stretch out the plastic holder. Do you have any ideas I have the largest size holder and I don't know if they make one bigger than that
No unfortunately there is not a larger size. You may want to look in to the other minimal contact versions that are similar to this one. Link below will help

Will this mask work with ResMed heated tube? I've been wanting to get the Resmed F40 mask, but its not available here in Canada. And who knows when it will come here. My cpap supply store has no clue what I was talking about when I mentioned the Resmed F40, he looked at me like I had 2 heads.
Works great with any standard or heated tube. Including the ResMed versions.
I have the f30 and although I can get a good seal over time Ive had to tighten it a lot to keep the seal. Also the 2 holes for breathing sometimes is off and I have a hard time breathing. I cut the bridge off once and it was much easier to breath. I have this coming in today and am excited to try it.
Thanks for the info!
@@CPAPmyway I got the Evora and prefer it to the f30. I had to up my pressure by about 4 pts so I didnt feel like I was struggling to breath. Thanks for the review!
You didn't talk about the humidity and using distilled water. Do you need to use that part with this mask?
Yes you do need to use the humidity on the Evora.
So the constant air flow coming from the 2 holes even when not exhaling is perfectly normal? Maybe I don’t have a firm grasp of how my cpap works because in my mind it can’t blow air down my airway if it’s constantly blowing air out. It would be weak wouldn’t it?
It accounts for the exhalation ports with the pressure. And the exhalation ports are definitely necessary to get rid of you exhaled CO2.
What machine is that. I cannot find F&P machines in the US. WHY?
They are discontinued by F&P here.
Thank you excelente presentation. Appreciated 🙏💚🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Is there a way to stop the exhalation air or slow it down? It's freezing me! I'd have to wear a scarf to bed to keep it from blowing on me.
Unfortunately not. There are some mask options that have a more diffused exhalation, but they all have exhalation.
I just received this mask and I'm HATING it! It is not the same one they used in my sleep study and can't figure outthe fit. It feels like it's just forcing air up my nose and over it. I don't get it
It is not the right mask for everyone. Below is a link to other minimal contact options.

I am having a problem with air leakage on both sides of my mask. I don’t want to tighten up the bottom straps too much as this becomes uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
You may want to go down a size on the cushion.
So far I only have a couple of successful nights with the mask. I must say when it is adjusted correctly the sleep is sweet; but when it is not adjusted right sleep is all but impossible.
I have experienced massive leaks, a painful nose. Also a flapping on the side of the cushion. When not adjusted correctly tightening the mask only makes things worse.
Thank you for the input.
Just received my Evora Full Face, the seal has a perfumy smell on the x small size, which I'm probably going to need as I am a small person. I'm going to try the s/m and hope it works. There isn't any way I could tolerate the perfumy one. I tried washing it, let it soak for 10 minutes with soap and baking soda, didn't help at all.
Thanks for sharing!!
Best mask yet and I have had a few. Great for side sleeping and turning in bed. My only criticism is that the small piece which connects the mask to the tube is too loose, unlike that demonstrated, resulting in it and the tube separating from the mask.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
I'm using this mask and was really pleased with it.. however, when I review my data - I find the leak showing in the 50 L/min range... how can I fix this since I don't feel it really leaking anywhere except the air coming out the bottom (though I do occasionally feel like it may be blowing into my eyes a tiny bit).
You might want to go down a size on the mask cushion. Link below for reference. If you can not get the leak into the acceptable levels, then you may have to consider another mask. I have a link below for a comparison of others like this one.

@@CPAPmywayI adjusted the mask straps a bit last night and my leakage went down to the 28 L/min range.. what is an acceptable level may I ask? I can try the XS mask but that seems "too small"?
I think that you want to be under 24lpm average over the whole night. @@pesto12601
@@CPAPmywayOk thx.. going to try the XS mask tonight because the seal with S/M is just not cutting it. Was over 75 last night and I could barely hear any leaking at times and just a bit of hiss other times.
I tried the F30i was so loud. Wanted it because of the top hose connection but not sure I can use it. I think the RT was pushing this one but I knew nothing about it
Thanks for the input.
How does this one perform with higher pressures like from a BIPAP machine? (22-12) Also, side sleeping?
So far so good on the seal. Even at higher pressures.
@@CPAPmyway mine just arrived in the mail today, so hopefully I can test it tonight.
@@gromit1996 is this mask good for side sleepers?
@@drogs I sleep on my side and back. Very good fit and seal sleeping on my side. My bipap pressure is 22/14 and it seals well. I tried the Resmed f30 and this fit far better. As always, your mileage may vary.
@@gromit1996 great to know thank you, I am a side sleeper and really struggling to find a good mask!
I hope they have one where I got my supplies from
We stock them if not. Link below.

Is there effect on pressure if Evora FF mask hose, which is narrower, is connected to 19 mm Prisma 20A?
There should not be any issue with that.
Thank you
What setting do I use on a ResMed Air 11? Its currently set to pillow but I'm not sure its correct for the Evora? Any opinions? I'm trying to take what my CPAP supplier said with a grain of salt as she said any kind of mask I want would be the same as any other and it depends on what's comfortable for me. I'm not doing this for the comfort of it and I want to sleep better.
This mask is a full mask. So I would switch to that setting on the 11.
I'm a side sleeper and sleep on my right side. The mask creates a sore on the outside of my nose on the right side. Do you have any suggestions?
That is a tough one. If it is causing that much abrasion, then you may have to try a different style. We have another comparison video on those type masks that might help. Link below.

Noise is a big issue with this musk and it's difficult to turn from left to right side.
Thanks for the input.
Curious will this mask work with my air sense 11 climate line??? Thx
Yes it will
Thank u for good info
Always welcome
It’s a great mask, very quiet..
Thanks for the input and for watching.
which would you recommend this or the f30i?
We have people that love each of them, and we have people that hate each of them. I would ask yourself whether you would need tube on top of head or on front and try one. If you go with us we have a 30 day guarantee so you can swap it out for free if you don't like the first one. Links to both below.

Does the extension hose on the mask work wih heated tubing?
Yes it does
My straps for neck part the strap surface is rounding so won’t stay fastened
That is interesting. Hadn't heard that before.
I'm a side sleeper is this mask recommended for side sleepers?
It is great for side sleepers. Very low profile.
I’m using an xs. At first it was great, but now it leaks at the nose super bad when the pressure is at 14. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any tips?
How long have you been using it. May be time to replace the seal. That is usually the case when it was working but is not anymore
ResMed is discontinuing my heretofore favorite mask (Quattro FX) next spring so I am in the market for a new type. I really like this mask but am having trouble finding the "sweet spot" fit-wise. Too loose and I get leaks; too tight and I get pimple-like marks/abrasions on my face on both sides by the bottom of my nostrils. Any ideas other than keep experimenting with adjusting the straps?
That is tough to help without seeing in person. Have you tried the other size cushion yet?
Quattro FX was such a good mask. I don't understand why they discontinue masks that work when it is such a key part of compliance. I worked in the industry for 14 yrs. My husband tried every FFMask and it was the only one that had minimal leaks.
I menus this masks for a couple of nights my wife says it smells and it makes a lot of noise. Imma go back to my Fisher Paykel viterra and the f30
Thanks for the feedback.
Update on my last thing I realize why I realize why mask was making a noise I was in the small medium cushion oh, now I'm using the large cushion and much better better seal I'm keeping this mask my wife and I call it the elephant mask but it works
Another update I now rotate between the Vitara and the evora full face mask.
This evora - vents right out the front of the mask. Tornado volumes of air. Also - the mask - hose seems to transmit vibration (sound) thru the mask/hose - more than my Resmed F30 mask. I can hear the CPAP machine cycling constantly. Its annoying. I'm also not a big fan of the extra little hose and no easy disconnect swivel connector. I had hoped to like the Evora more than I do.
Thanks for the input.
Sounds like you need a new machine... no issues here with resmed 11!
Can that top strap adjustment make it bigger or is just for tightening? The single one on the crown
It will make it bigger or smaller if needed for head size.
@@CPAPmyway I have the standard headgear and don't see how it can be made bigger it looks like it's maxed out from the factory
If it is already on the largest setting then it will not go bigger.
@@kloozman
Top-tier mask. Just like the Vitera.
Agreed!
I find the evora extremely comfortable but very load with the air outlets
Thanks for the input.
I have this problem when the air hits my sheet or blanket so I keep pulling the linens away from my face and neck. Then it is very quiet. But needs readjustment through the night as I wake up to find the linens up close to my face again.
Your video is great. I like the mask but I am getting condensation in the tubing almost every time I use it and that is daily. What if any solutions are there? Thank you
We have a great video to help on that. Link below.
ruclips.net/video/A5gW5tvJ_TA/видео.html
Maybe need to lower the humidity I turned mine right off and don't use the water reservoir because I was waking up feeling like my lungs were full of fluid and was Weezy and had to cough several times for the next few hours to clear out my lungs but if you just have moisture in the tube I would imagine that is normal if tube is heated and humidity is on I guess it depends on how much is in there
I've tried this mask and now I have a sore spot right under my nose
Thanks for the input
Does the work with remed airsense 11 and heated tube?
Yes it will work fine with the AirSense 11 and the AirSense 11 heated tubing.
I love this mask. But I just cleaned it and now have the worst leaking I’ve ever had! At a loss for why that is happening…
I would take it back apart and reassemble. Something must be off on the assembly.
@@CPAPmyway turns out the anti asphyxiation flap was stuck open! Took it apart and adjusted, now working great. I’m about 2 months into my therapy and loving this mask so far
@@dougfriend6810 Thanks for letting us know. Glad to hear that it worked out!
Can we have more advice on leaks please and how we know if mask is correct aize
Your video and instructions are great! It helped me find the correct mask fit without any seepage. My question is when I want to take a drink of water using a straw, what do I release to do so without taking it apart and waking up to turn the light on to reassemble it? I have tried pulling out the tubing, but find it hard to reconnect it.
Well that is tough on that mask. NO way other than getting the mask at least a little way off your face to get that straw in there.
Well that is tough on that mask. NO way other than getting the mask at least a little way off your face to get that straw in there.
this is the mask they issue in the UK under the NHS, national health service. i didnt like it because my nostrils would suck the silicone in on the edges when inhaliing (long nostrils) and block my nostrils. they should of created a beak like shape that goes over the bulb of the nose and not cut out those ridiculous shapes in L/m/s and instead have one giant cut out.
Thanks for the input.
I have this mask and have been experiencing soreness on either side of the bottom of my nose (not far from my nostrils outside of my nose). Pimples with pus, and now read marks. Also have been experiencing air leakage from the seal... top and bottom. I have made numerous adjustments to the straps. Very sleep deprived from the leaks and trying to adjust.
Is there a mask cover or layer available that would help with these issues?
Thanks in advance.
Check out this video. It compares all the masks in this category.
ruclips.net/video/J4MIqVZgyR8/видео.html
I find the air constantly blowing out of the vents to be loud and annoying
I understand. Some masks have better diffused exhalation ports. But they all will have a steady flow of air to make sure that your CO2 gets flushed out of the mask.
This has worked the best for me as far as low leakage rate, but I don’t like the front hose, and it really blows a high rate of air at my husband when I’m facing him in bed. I also have to keep it qiuite tight for it to not leak. I have a small face and head. The small medium worked best.
Thanks for sharing
The back neck pressure from mask strap is not tolerable for me. Because of things like stroke, seizure, headache, narcolepsy, cataplexy, epilepsy, etc., I cannot use this type of headgear with that pressure. I had a previous full face without the strap plate on the neck base. This strap shortens wear time considerably. It also keeps me from using my machine entirely some nights.
Thanks for the input.
By the way, the s/m smell too but not as much, so hope I can tolerate it.
Thanks for the input.
That stupid connection where the hose connects to the mask sucks. It pops off many times through the night. Getting woke up by that loud air sound is worse than Sleep Apnea!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the input.
i just wish it had magnetic connects
Yeh... Fisher has stayed away from magnets. They say it is because of defibrillators and other implants.
