New F&P Evora Full Face Mask--Leaks!

[yankees123]

Great news Dave, I have been reading about your adventures with the Evora mask since the start of this thread and so glad it’s working for you.  Keep us updated.

Thanks so much!

It's my everyday mask. (I've followed every post too. We all talked about it before it was available in North America.)

My take is that it's well made and worth buying, provided the user can adjust it well. I needed help.

I confess I wake up during the night to see if I can hear or feel mask leaks.

AHI=4.6 last night according to my S10 *for her*.

What was the leak rate Dave?

[DaveL]

MyAir says about 45....

Here's the video for that evening.

Mask leaked like a sieve.  No soft cervical collar though; no pillow either.

I have both the F&P Evora and the ResMed AirFit F30i and prefer the latter. It's more comfortable and seems to fit much better with minimal leaks. The Evora seems to need to be positioned carefully to avoid leaks compared to the F30i.

Thanks Steve! Your comment is very helpful

Dave, I’m sure I asked you before but do the leaks wake you up?

[DaveL]

No they don't wake me up.

However, I do wake up to check for leaks...don't know if a leak woke me up to do that.
I've stopped wearing my iWatch 6 to bed. I have an app on that that gives me a sleep report. It's about 70% accurate. It shows awake periods. Supposed to anyway.

I get criticism from home checking OSCAR everyday. So I don't anymore. I don't have skill figuring out what breathing patterns mean.

When Doc Inouye was my sleep doc he used to see me every 1-3/4. Busy man He had 3000 patients. His only concern was tht I wore a mask and had the machine turnedon. Oh. AHI had to be less than 5. He never gave me feedback or help.
