Resmed Quattro FX full face mask.

I am using The Resmed S9 series CPAP which seems to work fine.

But I bought a Resmed Quattro FX full face mask since the reviews for this

one sounded great.

But it sounds like a windmill when in use. I don't see how anyone can sleep with

this noise. I changed the setting on the S9 menu to full face mask with no

improvement. Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks H. Hampton

Hi Wade, Where is the noise? at the mask ?or at the machine? Some people use white noise machines ....or even a fan to mask the sounds. Good Sleep,Chris

I use the same machine and mask and love the mask (except for it causes my nose to be sore across the bridge...but that is me). My machine and mask are extremely quiet. There are times when I have to wave my hand in front of my mask just to make sure it is on. I am at a pressure of 8-14. The only time I notice a wind noise is when the tubing is directly "up" in front of the mask or there is a leak around the seal. The tubing I have to the side or down and as for the seal....I need to wash my face and mask each night before bed and it most always then works through the night without leaking. If the noise is coming from the machine I would take it back in and have it checked out.

Are you following the instructions on fitting the mask? I'm told to place it down under the bridge of the nose, rock it down over the face, and the fasten the head straps.
