Help! Missing Strap Clips [from mask]

[PerChancetoDream]

Help! This board has been my lifeline and I know so little I don't comment often.

I have been going along okay, still fighting a lifetime of poor sleep habits,  but feeling better with my CPAP.

BUT...

Probably my 3 year old or my kitten, who didn't listen when I yelled and told them to leave CPAP and FFM alone,  have somehow lost the little magnetic clip that the bottom strap hooks up to. I have searched everywhere and not found it. This morning,  it must not have sealed at all because I feel like I got run over by a truck.

My DME is a bunch of jerks (what else is new?). Can a Jerry rig something?  Can I buy just the clip? Buying a new FFM is a bit of a last resort due to budgetary issues. 

Please help!

PerChancetoDream, hopefully someone more qualified will chime in soon (I don't use that mask and have no idea if my suggestions would help)  I'm wondering if you can fasten that end with a jumbo paper clip or safety pin – or even thread or twine – to keep the mask on until you can get it repaired.

Sadly my experience with DME providers is pretty bad so I have no suggestions for dealing with those cretins.

For replacement give Supplier #1 a call. they should have them. In the mean time I'd try to use string or a velcro strap and tie it to the loop and wrap around your head to the other strap.

Updated your subject line since it is your mask that is missing the clips, not your machine.

airfit p10 does not have magnetic clips and is not the mask shown in OPs pic.

It's a N20 or F20 mask. Probably a N20.

yeah, IDK. just saying re the thread title and as reminder to all of us to be specific. also, perchance should change her profile if the p10 isn't her usual mask.

I was going by the OPs profile. I'll edit the subject line again.

I apologize. I have forgotten how to edit my profile to reflect that I am now using a FFM.

I will reach out to my DME and also see if I can rig something up in the meantime.
