Remstar Auto & Breeze

Posted by MrMagloo on September 05, 2002 at 07:03:13:

In an earlier post, I mentioned I was running into a bit of an issue with the Breeze evidently causing false positives with the Remstar Auto which in turn was over adjusting and maxing out the pressure.

After trying different things, it turned out that the chin strap was the culprit. Evidently, the elastic band was perhaps vibrating against the hose on top and this was being picked up by the unit. That or the strap was causing my teeth to chatter? I dunno.

During the last week, I've gone without the chin strap and I've got my ave pressure back in line, my AHI down to a range of 1.7 to 3.6 AHI, and my leakage ave down to 27.12 LPM. Can't ask for better than that! Hopefully, I'll work down my sleep deficit soon so I can feel the difference too.

The Mirage FF-2 mask however, continues to be a disaster. I just cannot seem to find the happy median between eliminating the leaks and the mask leaving red marks all over my face. In fact, if I try to wear the mask more than a day in a row, the mask causes me to breakout. Aren't these things supposed to be non-allergenic?

Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news on the Breeze / Remstar Auto compatibility, reversing my original concerns I expressed.
