ResMed AirFit N30i with a top-of-the-head tube design gives your patients the freedom to sleep in many positions and be close to their bed partner.
The carefully engineered SpringFit frame, septum bridge and top-of-the-head design with 360o rotation keep pace with twists and turns. The quick release elbow helps your patient remove their therapy easily, even if they get up during the night.
Designed for a first-time fit
The SpringFit frame is designed to adjust to different facial profiles to provide a broad range of fit. This means you spend less time on patient setup with more fitting confidence.
For male patients, start with the standard frame size. For female patients, start with the small frame size.
If the frame is too large, try the small size frame for a better fit.
If you try the small frame first and the frame sits too close to your patient's eyes, size up to the standard frame for a better fit.
If the frame is too small, try the standard size frame for a more comfortable fit.
Use the provided template to determine whether a patient has a narrow or wide nose.
If the patient has a narrow nose, place the blue/red side of the template under their nose. If the patient has a wide nose, place the grey/purple side of the template under their nose.
If either the width or length of their nose breaches the margins on the template, size up (to medium or wide).
Select the matching cushion from those provided.

This is the ONLY mask that I have found to be comfortable.
Hi Nancy, thanks for your feedback. I'm sure the viewers will find it useful. All the best. Nick
Me too. I have tried a similar style from Philips too. However the resmed one pulls the tip of my nose up. I have a round face, shortish broad nose and both frames do it. The company i have been hiring it from don't really care so long as they get their money. I would really like to know are there any other manufacturers of similar that you would recommend? Thanks for the educational advice, particularly the foamgate issue. I read it in newspaper and supplier of hire machine didn't know, and just told me that they didn't use ozone cleaners. They said that they only knew what their rep told them. Seriously WTF!!!🤐 Anyway very helpful thanks so much🐨 Nik Cheerypip
I’ve used this mask for 2 yrs and love it. Easy on and off, able to wear my glasses with it!
Hi Vickie, glad you're enjoying the N30i. Thanks for sharing your experience. Nick
I’m going to take a moment to tell you that you have changed my world with you giving me hope to try other masks. After ages of giving up on Cpap therapy after watching your videos I realized all of the options I had to still attempt and as of last week im a happy Cpap user and I couldn’t be more grateful. THANK YOU 🙏
Best mask ever! The bigger the mask, the worse of a time I had adjusting to it. I couldn't stand nasal pillow masks either. i'm a side/back sleeper and I move a LOT. No leaks. I love the vent on the front, it makes the mask feel less claustrophobic when breathing out. Could not recommend this more. This video is a nice coverage of the features.
G'day, thanks for your feedback. Glad you are enjoying the mask. Have a great day. Nick
I have just recently started using a CPAP machine and was fitted with this mask. It has been very easy to get used to sleeping with.
Hi Shirley, congratulations, glad you are taking to the therapy well and enjoying the N30i. It's one of my favs. All the best. Nick
I just purchased one of these and am so happy. I had been using a full face mask for two years and just switched to this. no more Darth Vader feeling.. mine is pretty quiet too. I see people who have said theirs are loud. mine is fine. Comfortable.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Cheers
I have P10, P30i, N30i, Mirage FX, Philips DrameWear. P30i is the best. Less restriction on your head and the best seal.
Hi guys, ResMed is trying to take down the CPAP Reviews channel. I think we might have 12 hours left. Here's a Facebook Group i started! Please join for support - facebook.com/groups/138127984943408 . If you have any free time please copy this and post it on the comments. Thank you so much! Nick
I have been using the N3Oi mask for years and love it. My only issue is that after awhile your hair on top of your head is under the weight of the top strap attached to hose tends to flatten your hair line. I have a full head of hair and my hairdresser chuckles as it looks like a permanent separation in my hair line…..
I've been doing therapy for about 3 weeks. I have this mask and I suppose if you have to have one, it's the best you're going to get. It does have drawbacks. A man shouldn't review the headgear...or even make the head gear...most of y'all don't have hair. Manufacturers have to figure out that women are now using this equipment. Short hair or long, we strive to make our hair silky, and guess what that headgear does with silky hair? It moves! I spoke with the clinician about it, and he suggested I put the pony tail, tiny as it is, in between the slit on the head gear. That kinda works but then I have a lump in the back of my head to sleep on if I turn on my back. It takes a while to figure out which fit works if you move around a lot, but the nasal cushion does move when. you do and you will find yourself adjusting the cushion when you're half asleep because it's pretty easy to figure out if you have a leak. I do appreciate your videos as they have been very helpful...especially the one where you dissected the terminology for the therapy.
Hi Marianne, thanks for sharing your experience with the N30i. You're certainly right regarding the strap moving up over the hair during the night and hopefully they can come up with something to help with that in the future. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Have a great day. Nick
Yes! I have super thick hair and I’ve struggled to find the correct placement for my bun
Completely agree! I’m experimenting and purchased an item off Amazon which hopefully will solve this issue. Though different manufacturers, I’m gonna see if the “Headgear with Arms for DreamWear Nasal & Pillow Masks” will work. Figured it was worth a shot. Should get it tomorrow
Finally got mine and it's been working perfectly. It's comfortable and easy to put on or off. Nor is there any noise problem near the ears. Many thanks
Great to hear it! Thanks for sharing your experience with the N30i. Have a great day. Nick
I have that one too and there’s no noise at all near the ears! I too find that there’s a lot of air loss from the holes!

I used the ‘’pillows’’ for years, switched to ‘’cushions ‘’ Hugh improvement very comfortable!
This seems to be more comfortable and less complicated. Thank you for the video. The tech person just told me about this. I was struggling for a month to get a better understanding. Thank you for sharing.
Hi there, yes it's one of my favs. A very good mask. Best wishes. Nick
This mask was awesome. Then they took out all the hard plastic, completely changed it, kept the product code the same, lol. INCIDENTALLY, anyone struggling to use the "new" N30i (no hard plastic, all silicone) with their airsense 10, go to the clinical menu (hold both buttons for 5 seconds), switch from autoset to cpap mode, and figure out the pressure that you need, likely over a few nights of experimenting, so the flimsy all-silicone N30i doesn't blow out of position while you're asleep while autoset is adjusting itself. I found the average pressure my auto/variable set (changes pressure while you're sleeping based on perceived need) was about 10.5 (varying from 5 to 15 through the night, wrecking havoc on the mask seal), and when I went to cpap mode I manually set it at 7.4 and now it works ALMOST PERFECTLY. I can even sleep on my side again. Doesn't get me back to belly sleeping like I could do with this old hard plastic model from the video, but I'm happy enough, I suppose. Anyway, figure out the average you've been doing and start at about 75% on cpap mode. Good luck!
I'm so glad I found you mate. I'm about to do my sleep study after a decade of ignoring my snoring! I've had anxiety about Cpap for years being a young fella. I'm bout to turn 30 and finally doing something about and your videos have helped me heaps. Thanks man
Cheers buddy! After your sleep test they will probably recommend a cpap trial depending on the results. We have a pretty awesome online program that's helped over 10,000 customers. Check out www.remsleep.com.au/cpap-hire
Have a good one.

Thanks I’m new to the whole cpap experience. Your videos have been helpful and informative, making the experience a lot better. Thanks again
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :-). Nicko
You are doing a great job for CPAP users around the world providing a constant flow of useful informations. I would kindly propose you upgrade your sound capture set-up. Sound quality is the only aspect you might improve but still not bad. Contact me if you need advices. Cheers!
Thanks Pierre, i really appreciate the comment and feedback. That's a very old vid now and i have upgraded the sound. Feel free to watch my latest vid and have a listen to the improvement - ruclips.net/video/-ZApEMtlYAk/видео.html
Thank you Nick for your explanation. It was clear and understandable. I never used the c-pap before. I now can feel better and more relaxed about knowing how to use the equipment.
Thanks a lot! I'm getting my first mask next week and am doing as much research as possible. This is the one I used during my sleep study and I looooved it but wasnt sure if its what I should get. So I really appreciate hearing the pros and cons and feel like this one will be a good fit for me :)
Hi Jess, welcome to the Channel. Good luck with your first week of cpap and let me know if you need any assistance. Have a nice day. Nick
This is honestly the WEIRDEST spam ever
@@CPAPReviews thanks so much! I really appreciate that, and the work you do
It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this 🙂
They must have taken the feedback to heart cause mine has the air filter at the nostrils. Only style I’ve used but I’m a big fan
I used this mask last night and loved it, thanks!!!
Long time cpap user - was taken off cpap for several years but am about to go back on and a friend told me about this mask and I am glad to see your review of it - titration study coming up in a couple weeks and I think this is the mask I want to go with so thank you for the great review of it and its features. Last mask I used was the whisp which I liked but I think I will like this one a lot.
so what you think about this mask did you get it and do you like it?
Very helpful information for deciding on what mask will best suit my needs
Thank you for giving us the pros AND cons. I'm looking for a new mask and I was recommended this one. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one, but will do more research.
Glad it was helpful!
My resmed n30 I is good! The problem l've had is the back of head strap kept sliding off. My remedy was to snag the strap assembly from my old dreamware
And whala the angled strap worked great! The nostril holes were a bit small so l have tweaked them now l can breath easily. 🙃🙂
Same with me.
P30i compared to N30i, which one favors side sleepers with less leaks? Thanks.
Thank you for these informative videos. They are much better than the manufacturers. You should get a cut! $
Thanks for that! Haha, yes i should :)
I have this, and it slides rather a lot up and down my head if I move much, because I have a good amount of hair. Looser, tighter, same result.
However, it's absolutely incredible. I keep thinking it's not working, so i'll open my mouth to check, and no, it's definitely working. It's so freaking comfortable.
Hi there, here's a vid that will change your life and stop that strap from sliding up :) - ruclips.net/user/shortsrdLVttcO4uk
I love this mask (but the UPGRADED NASAL CUSHION with the diffusion filter is FAR QUIETER and more comfortable to wear than the one in this video. It is now available). The thing I really like is the fact that the high pressure exhalation is defused at the front and is NOT blowing at force directly on my partner. A lot of exhalation air escapes through the top of the mask at the centre of the head and away from the front of the mask so that's not blowing on my partner either. The NEWER UPGRADED NASAL CUSHION is certainly a great improvement and it is far more comfortable than this one.
Great review.Thanks.Ordered one, Waiting on delivery.
Cheers Daniel. Hope it works out for you
There’s something I’m missing. I just got my N30i, and I (think I) put it together with the humidifier ResMed Airsense 10, but it’s hard to exhale through my nose due to the air pressure. Am I supposed to be breathing through my mouth? Wish it came with a description of what to expect and what is wrong/right in terms of FUNCTION. Everyone talks about the same points, but skip over the functionality.
Hi there, the N30i is a nasal cradle mask and you will need to keep your mouth closed whilst using it. Yes it can be quite difficult in the beginning to exhale as the machine is pushing air into the mask at the same time you are exhaling. Over time you will find it easier but it can be difficult for beginners. Small masks like the N30i also have a created air resistance due to the smaller cavity. Full face masks are a bit easier to exhale with and you can also use your mouth. Have a nice day
Nick
Love it so far
Cheers George, thanks for the feedback
I got the N30i and like everything except the noise and I was getting a lot of red mask leaks on my Cpap.
I had to stop use and go back to my standby Mirage 2 - I want to try the P30i pillows and give it another shot. I also had a p10 but the strap has no adjustment. Been on Cpap for over 20 years on my 3rd or 4th? machine.
Thanks for your feedback. You can get the N30 strap and put it on the P10 and it makes it adjustable. ruclips.net/video/RyiSBEMaAYY/видео.html
Cheers
I got the p30i pillows and updated the n30i. Works good less leak and I get used to the noise. Plus i did update my other pillows p10 to x30 strap. That's an improved. I think I'm going back to the new updated p30i
Agreed...too much air escapes n noisy when i sleep sideways
Thank you for your videos. I'm very happy with them. Do you have to set the mask mode to cushion?
Too much air escapes from the mask when i turn sideways..becomes noisy and raises the AHI score.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with this mask. Perhaps try changing to the P30i pillow which will probably seal a bit better and is a little quieter as it has the quiet air filter. Cheers
Me too!! I just got this mask about a week ago and I can't stand not being able to lay on my side. I also found that the tubing on top is quite heavy and causes the headgear to pull forward and slip off my head. I wake up more now than ever before haha. I'm switching mine out for a nasal mask instead. I wish you luck in finding what works best for you!!
I have one similar to this one. I had the same issue, I sleep on the side and I wake up more with this thing blowing loudly and of course my eyes are puffed up like marshmallows the next morning. I dealt with this for three days and gave up and went back to my old mask which is the nose piece with the top strap and bottom strap. I think it is called wisp. The only good thing good about this type of mask is if you want to read or watch TV the nose gear is not in your line of sight.
love this mask
Yeah it's a ripper. Big fan of the N30i :-)
Hi it's me again, I ordered and received the p30I pieces I needed and they were more comfortable than the nasal ones. I do have another question, the question is using the distilled water in the water chamber of the resmed airsense 10 is this producing 02 oxygen or something else??
Ordered N30i from your link. anxious for it to arrive. Tried to use "Nick" in the code but it was invalid. in any event, N30i is on the way!
Nice on mate, i'll update the code. It's now CPAPReviews for future reference. Cheers
hey Nick hope everything is well with you just wanted to know if f30i frame would work with the p30i cushion? thank you forever.
Hello everybody! Thanks for the review!
I use this mask a week,it's very comfortable, but I feel a little bit cold on my head, so my question is:
Can there be any head complications(inflammation) in bald people due to the cold air overhead - air leak at the top of mask.
Thanks
Hi Nico, perdón por no escribirte en inglés soy de España y veo tus videos una y otra vez para aprender, tengo bipap hace 5 meses, mi pregunta es que si puedo sacar la almohadilla frontal, con ella me ahogo cada diez o quince minutos y si esta almohadilla se puede sacar para lavar, recambios no he visto, gracias mi querido Nico eres un gran hombre 😊
I wake up around 5:30am and I feel like I can’t breathe. What could be causing that? Is there a setting to change like ramp? I wake up with dry mouth and nose.
Hi Zev, you might just need to fine tune your pressure levels a little bit. Here's a video for you ruclips.net/video/pL4egwDrvbg/видео.html . It could be that the pressure levels are too high or it could be that they are perhaps too low and you're still having apnea. Fine tuning your therapy will also help with the dry mouth and nose but you might need to also increase your humidification levels on your machine and preheat your water. Here's also a another video on that topic ruclips.net/video/79redmNSwmg/видео.html . Best wishes. Nick
Do you use a humidity setting? A heated tube and a litthumidity works wonders! And a comfortable chin strap so your mouth stays shut. I ended up finding an old jersey headband that keeps my mouth shut just enough.
Hi Nick, I do enjoy your CPAP videos, but in the ' ResMed N30i Hybrid CPAP Mask Review. Should You Buy? ' video I thought you could have explained that mask leak can be influenced by nasal cradle size and strap adjustment. Simple stuff for me and obviously for you, but some people need to be led by the hand. However, keep up the channel and your good vid's. Pete.
My pack did not have an elbow ….where can I get one? Or can I somehow use the attachment from a mask mask if I could detach it from the long plastic extension if that elbow ?
Just so you know...The dreamwear headgear with the arms fits this..
Where can I purchase the hanger thing to hang my tube
I've been issued a test machine with this mask and find it's kind of uncomfortable, like it's cutting into my nostrils no matter how I adjust it. It's annoying to the point that I end up just taking it off halfway through the night
Thanks for the video! 👍
No problem 👍
In a previous beginners utube you said try it in your lounge to get use to it. I think thats a great idea & dont treat it as trivial. Thanks pal. gotheblues.
I have used this for two years upside down and have great results with it my leaks are almost non existent 6L and my events are .1 to .3 of one. Tonight I'm going to put it on right and see what happens. I always had the arrow on the left as you face it, It would probably be on the right if you're in the UK, lol
I have used full face masks with that same type of nasal cradle from Phillips and I can attest that keeping the seal as an active sleeper is challenging. It also tends to cause severe dryness pain at the nostril opening. The traditional nostril cushion may cause some mild irritation, it is minor in comparison.
Michael Stuermer Heated tubing fixed that dryness pain for me!
Great tip for Michael, thanks for sharing
Thanks for your feedback Michael, there can be quite a big difference between cushions from different manufacturers but it's good to hear your experience dealing with philips dreamwear full. Thank you
Could sleeping on your side pinch the tube you’re laying on thus weakening the flow of air to the mask? Or would the other hose take on the extra pressure just fine on its own?
Hi! I just got this exact mask with the Luna 2 machine which I see you have in this video. There's this whistling noise/ air coming out from the top part that moves where the hose connects, is this normal or is air leaking??
I hope my insurance will let me try this!..with a chine strap...face marks are a given..ann
G'day Syd, good luck with the insurance, i hope they do to. Thanks for your comment. Nick
I think this was the 4th of your videos that I have watched. I liked the first 3 a lot!! But, I had a hard time understanding you on this video. The sound quality was great on the other videos, but not good on this one. What changed? Thanks for the videos! Rick
G'day Rick, might have been the days prior to buying a microphone haha. Cheers mate
I have to sleep on my back, back and neck problems. Pain on the top of my head from where the hose attached. 30 years playing rugby and American football. Any suggestions to reduce the pain?
I wear a medium wide on a nasal so I dont know if that will work for me as I have tried full face and it just doesnt work .
TY
Taking notes 📝
Nice one 👍
Hi This is Alvaro from Uruguay. Firstly I apreciate your video because you have described very well all the features about the product as well. I have used the N30i susscesfully since 2020 and now I need to replace the mask. In my country only left the n30i standard frame size and I was using the small size one with medium cushions. I am wondering if the standard frame could suits me. On the other hand the medium cushion wich is included with the kit available here is slightly diferent because
it has a filter at the front. Would you think the standratd frame it would be usuful for me?
What do you think about the different features about my medium cushion regarding the other?
Aplogies because my English, and sorry if my questions are too long.
Thank you very much.
Great video, thanks!
Some time my machine, fell off during the night. Of the nose pillow
there is websit called?
Little scotch, bit of meat, are you my long lost brother? Great video and testimony, thank you for this information!
Haha, Brother from another Mother mate ;-). Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
This is a very comfortable mask - I prefer it above the Philips DreamWear (although the Philips provides you with nice replaceable sleeves/liners). Also a minus point is that it doesn't come with a diffuser like the P30i and I don't understand why because the nose parts are interchangeable). So looking forward to replaceable sleeves (even a little bit longer so it covers more skin) and a diffuser. Pleas inform me
Hi Oma, thanks for sharing your insights and experience. Glad you are enjoying the mask. You can pick up aftermarket sleeves online or on amazon. In fact you can even just buy the dreamwear ones and attach if you like. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews I know you mean the blue ones but I prefer the woven polystyrene ones ((I even pulled them a little forwards towards the cradle to avoid skin irritation ;) ..))
question...what chin strap would be compatible with the P30i?
The mouth tape is causing my skin to be raw.
Hi Arlene, when it comes to chin straps, they should all work fairly well with the P30i
My worst choice, noisy mask and my Ahi exploded probably because I am side sleeper; now back to AirFit F30 bigger, less noisy and comfortable.
Hi Raymond, can be difficult going from a full face mask to a nasal hybrid mask but certainly shouldn't have an impact on your AHI especially if you're using an auto machine. Perhaps you were mouth breathing etc hmmmm. THanks for sharing your experience though. Cheers
I have a respronics nasal mask will the mask itself fit my headgear? Thank you
Thank you
You're welcome :)
Hi Nick
My biggest problem is masks tend to be made for side and back sleepers. I'm a tummy sleeper, what mask would you recommend? I have been looking at the n30i because of the top hose placement.
Hi Sonia, yeah i think this is an excellent choice for someone that tends to sleep with their face angled down. You might have to turn it slightly to the side but a great option and a fantastic mask with great reviews. Take care
Could this be used for stomach sleepers?
hi Nick tks. interesting the nose piece is interchangeable, I may try. However, i get the feeling at a slightly higher pressure say 13 or so, the leak will be more than the P30i. Question I could do with some insight on Nick. I have been trialing different pressures, from auto pressure to fixed pressure, slightly higher to lower pressures. best result for me is higher, around 13+. What I have found, and this is my query, is that during these tests, I have been getting seal of say 2/20. YET, events results in the 0.3.-.0.5 range ( which is the aim after all. ) Trialing and getting seal of say 15/20 and even 20/20 can give event results in the 1-4 range, I am seeing a pattern that 'the seal is not that important if the events are really low'. I'd be interested to get any medical or resmed feedback on this. As I have been under the impression the seal is the be all and end all of the aim, but my results don't back that up. Hope to hear from you, and if possible with some info/feedback from medical/resmed. thanks Nick B
Buenas noches vivo en Bogotá Colombia y quisiera saber cómo adquirir esta mascarilla es fabulosa y saber cuánto cuesta. Gracias
Hi there, good night to you also. That's all i got! Oh and Colombia :-). Oh and Fabulous! Oh and thank you!! Appreciate that :-)
I'm just testing a machine. Last night I slept with a full face mask. Tonight I'm trying th P30 I. Looks and feels much more comfortable. I'm desperate so anything that will help I look forward to trying.
I meant N30 i.
great review as usual Nick. Does the elbow come with it?
Sure does, thanks for the kind words
I seen another review on this mask and they said you should have your machine set to pillow! What do you think Nick?
@@greegles1 just spoke with a respiratory therapist this am. She had me change the mask to full face mask.
Maire MacEoin really? That surprises me.
What is the cost?
I have this mask. It is a huge improvement over the first mask I had. The sides are soft so they don’t dig into my face. Also the hose on the top is a huge improvement. The hose on the front used to pull the mask off. My biggest problem is that I can’t get it tight enough to not float around my head. I’m wondering if there is anything I can do about that.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with the N30i, glad to hear it's working well for you. Did you know you can get a small frame size for it? This might be the answer to your issue :-). Have a great day and let me know how you go. Cheers

How do I reduce irritation and redness from this? I love it, been using for almost a week but the redness/irritation sucks. Anything I can do/use?
Hey mate, is it nasal irritation around your nostrils? Or headgear irritation around your cheeks?
@@CPAPReviews sides of my nostrils where they meet my cheeks/upper jaw
If I use an N30i cushion in size SW, what size should I buy the P30i cushion?
Hi Winnie, here's a link to the product guide document.resmed.com/documents/products/mask/airfit-n30i/combined-product-guide/airfit-n30i-p30i_combined-product-guide_anz_eng.pdf . On page 4 you can see the sizing guide and it looks to me like the SW matches up pretty well with the Medium. Best wishes. Nick
So i just got the upgraded mask and i am having issues with leaking. If i sleep on my side which is how i sleep the side i lay on that nostril plugs shut and then it pushes the nose piece towards the other side and then it leaks. Do i not have it fitted right. I was so hoping this was going to be my mask but i went back to the pillows even though they hurt the inside of my nose.
I just realized this is the older one with the hard plastic which some people complain that the hard plastic hurts their face. However maybe it keeps from having the issues i am having with it moving?
Are these good options for stomach or side sleepers?
Thank you so much for the info and reviews on the two nasal pieces. I just started out with N30I. I'm not sure i like the nasal cushion. I do love the hose on top of the head instead of the nose. I move about alot.
Glad it was helpful! Have a good one
My sentiments, exactly!
If you are having a large leak what is wrong
Hi Sharon, it's sometimes a difficult question to answer as there's many variables. If you believe you have the right size cushion + headgear and have adjusted it well then perhaps the mask just isn't suitable for your facial profile. Best wishes
Nick
They need to get the air holes away from the eyes .it can cause dry eye
Love this until recently stats on mask fit have gone from 85% to 67% last night. I’m at a loss knowing what else to do.
How long have you had this mask?
It's best not to look at your data on a night to night basis but more over a weekly or monthly average. There will always be variables but you want to look at the overall data picture. Cheers
Tony Modesto , changed it for a new one so it’s doing better.
How to clean
Very informative, a quick question which one is better N20 or N30i?
I have tried N20 with Large mask as Medium was not comfortable.
Secondly, What's your take on Resmed Airsense 10 - autoset?
Hi Buddy, to be honest mate when it comes to masks it's a very personally thing so it's hard to say which is better. If you took 100 people and and test them with both masks you'd probably find 50% said the n20 and 50% said the N30i haha. Both are great masks, the n20 probably offers a better seal for those on a higher pressure and the N30i minimalistic profile might be important for others ;-). The Airsense 10 is a top end unit and probably the best machine on the market however it is at the end of the product cycle now and i do imagine there will be a new device release in the not to distant future so i would not be upgrading to an Airsense 10 at this point in the product cycle. It's like buying an iphone 9 just as they are about to release the 10. Cheers
I would like to try this mask but I"m worried that it will be noisy as it goes past the ear. Do you think this will be noisier than the resmed F20 that I am using now?
This is a nasal mask. The F20 is a full mask. I would go and do what you said which is 'try it' . In fact it's always a good idea to go and trial any mask before you purchase. Thanks
Thank you so much for the response, sorry if this sounds a little bit dense, but
honestly I’m not sure how to try it before I purchase it, suggestion?
@@robmartinsen1261 g'day Rob, depending on your location there should be 'CPAP Clinics' in the area. If there isn't i would suggest calling up a any place that sells cpap masks and ask them if you can trial it for a week. They might charge you $25-$50 but that price would normally come of the purchase price if you decided to go ahead with the purchase of the mask. Cheers
It is the best mask I have had. Read the instructions and it doesn't tell you whether you need to wash the whole frame every day. Csn you help?
G'day Mark, thanks for sharing your feedback. Glad to hear the N30i is working well for you. Regarding the cleaning, i think it's probably overkill to be washing the frame every day. I'd just be running some warm soapy water through it once a week and perhaps doing an ozone treatment once a month.
If you don't know what an ozone treatment is, it's a small device the generates activated oxygen which kills 99.99% of any bacteria etc. You just put your mask parts and other bits and pieces in a small bag and pump it full of ozone to sanitise it. Here's a link to a video i did on the cleaning side of things. ruclips.net/video/ek7_c1k50Jw/видео.html
Have a great day mate. Cheers
U explain everything good but what about a full mask and are u in WA
Thanks John, i'm in Melbourne mate. I do love WA though ;-)
I have the P10 and I can't wear it. will this make a big difference. I have severe tmj and the straps irritate my jaw and the nose pillows make me feel like I am suffocating.
Hi Margie, i was probably going to recommend a P10 for you but if you can't wear it i don't the N30i will make much of a difference unless its the actual pillows that are causing your problem. Have you heard of a MAS device before? Check out a company called Somnomed. They're an aussie company that make special mouthguards for sleep apnea.
@@CPAPReviews my new TMJ dentist recommended that guard but my medical that contracts with her said No as that guard will cause TMJ and further destroy my jaw. I am going in circles as everyone says something different
This mask is terrible, literally typing this the same night I’m using it, it’s only been two hours and it’s a terrible feeling on my face and have the air pump directly in my nose felt terrible and uncomfortable, hoping I could send it back.
According to google it has an average 4/5 star rating from over 700 reviews which is pretty good. Thanks for sharing your experience though. Cheers
Will this work on my Philips respironics head wear? in place of the nasal mask with under nose cushion the Dreamwear? I can't sleep on my side with the gel dreamwear .
Hi Barb, don't really understand the question but if you're asking if your asking if the ResMed N30i will work with your philips machine yes it will. If you are asking if the resmed mask parts are interchangeable with the philips masks parts then the answer is no. Hope this help and best wishes
hi nice video, can I use the p30i pillow pieces with this head piece?
Yes you can!
@@CPAPReviews ok thank you.
Is it good for side sleepers?
Yes and also for stomach and back sleepers too! Cheers
How does a chin strap work with this model?
Hi Gail, same way it does with other masks although a lot of people are using mouth strips now instead. Cheers
What are mouth strips?
Just subscribed to your channel. Please can you use this with Resmed Air sense 10. Thanks
G'day, it's a ResMed mask :)
Can I use oxygen with this
Hi Beth, you can use oxygen with any cpap mask, you just get a connector for the cpap tube and insert your oxygen to that. As always, consult your specialist
CPAP Reviews many thanks 🙏
Where can I get one stands to hold up my hose, l really enjoy the new things you out
Hi Marilyn, if you are in Australia you can purchase it from - www.remsleep.com.au/product/cpap-hose-lift-system/
