Fisher and Paykel Solo

Fisher and Paykel Solo
Has anyone seen or heard anything about the new Solo mask from F&P?  It sounds as if the headgear is where things are in that it tightens like a car seatbelt.  I use an F&P full and find that I have to fine tune the straps daily.  I would love to be able to press my mask in place and forget it.  If I could wear a nasal or pillow mask without mouth leaks I would give the mask a try when available.

I've not heard about it.

With the name Solo I have to wonder if there's going to be a Star Wars Han Solo edition. May the CPAP force be with you.

RE: Fisher and Paykel Solo
As with most F&P mask releases, it seems this model is only available in Australia. It will take a few months to reach the U.S. and receive FDA approval. When the Evora Full was released, I ordered one from an Australian DME. The only downside was their website security was compromised and someone tried to use my credit card I had used to make the purchase.

Yea no kidding.  I think it is only available in Australia and New Zealand at this time.  I saw it on a YouTube Short.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcSkC0gaIMc

I love my Evora Full.  I'm hoping they change the headgear over time to something like this.  Really the mask itself isn't any different than other nasal/pillow type masks.  It is the headgear that is the game changer.

RE: Fisher and Paykel Solo
My guess on timing of news info, and onto release, I'd probably say about like the Evora. Rumors and such about 6 months to a year before the Australian side of the planet gets it. Then more time before we get it here. All speculation of course.

I hate to boast but I received my F&P Solo Pillows mask a couple of hours ago here in Sydney Australia.

Made by Fisher & Paykel on the island of New Zealand 

Here it is on my bed next to the Resmed P10 mask, released in January 2014.

Hope you provide a review soon.  I am looking forward to hearing about how the headgear works.

Is the area by the cushion super hard. I found the f&p evora so hard it kept digging into my face. I just couldn’t wear it.
