Mask fitting is an art! Any Sleep Tech or Respiratory Therapist can tell you that. So here is the problem... I keep hearing about companies that "Drop Ship" their Cpap machines to the patients. How are these patients sure they have the correct mask. The Sleep Techs in the lab are the first people to put a mask on your face during titration, but often times they are limited in the options they have for masks. As an RT at a DME company, I fit hundreds of masks, many patients required two or three mask fittings until they found a mask they were happy with. So I would like to hear from the forum on how they started out. How did they find the right mask? Were they fitted by a proffesional at their home? I do not work for the DME company any more, but when I did, I had a coworker fit my mask. Who fit your mask?
