Hi Belenda,
Sure, you can use a mask from any company with any machine. If you are having issue with nasal congestion there are so many new full face mask on the market to try. There are also several new nasals masks on the market that may make it much easier. Each persons face is shaped differently and no one company can provide the mask for everyone. Most Medical suppliers also have a 30 day mask garantee. This is provided by the Manufacture of most of the popular masks on the market to include: Resmed, Respironics, Devilbiss, and Fisher andPykel. Not sure about Puritan Bennett.
I Hope this helps.

Yep, for many it takes several mask to find one that provides us the best therapy with the most amount of comfort.
I lost count of the number of masks that I tried. I didn't know that there were policies in place to let patients try different masks as my DME knew told me. I purchased my masks from various sources including a local ad placed on an internet provider here, cpapauction, and forum members.
Good luck in your quest.
