So I take it the P10 has reasonable venting - not too strong. The swift vented downward, very strong. Which direction does the P10 vent ?

I tried the Swift and did not like the jet stream vent.

Found another possible liner solution at https://www.padacheek.com

**Lots of flapping with the F30 at 17cm !

Anyone found a mask liner that helps manage this kind of issue ? thanks**

lowest AHI on record for me- 2.10 (pressure set at 17 -18) paid a price - very swollen eye bags this morning. Maybe I need to try to find a better liner for the F30 ? Not sure they even have them. Still a lot of leaks. Tightening straps down to manage leaks is not comfortable. Tight straps plus mouth taped is pretty claustrophobic. I tore the tape off halfway through the night.

I went back to the Simplus last night, bumped the pressure up 17 - 18cm. Made a fabric liner, taped my mouth. Had a comfortable night sleeping, but my AHI from last night was 4.18 Whereas with the F30 I can get down to 2.3 with 15 - 16 cm. So I'm going to try the F30 tonight, but use a fabric liner to see if I can manage all the small leak flapping under control.

That makes sense. I thought maybe the respironics could deal with a diversity of masks and diffusers. Though clearly the F30 mask envelopes a much smaller volume, and the Simplus diffuser seems to pump out a lot more volume. Now, if only the Simplus doesn't blow off my face at a higher pressure - just when I got the fit just right ! Thank you for your insights.

Leak rate using the F30:

the enigma is that I am getting much better AHI using the F30 mask, even though I struggle with leaks using it. I'd like to get the same AHI results using the Simplus, since it is much more comfortable and doesn't wake me up.

here is my data using the Resmed F30, holding all settings on my machine constant between using Simplus and F30: (F30 in the 3 AHI range, Simplus in the 6 AHI range)

I will follow up with an image of the leak rate on F30

I am reposting this image - error uploading.

Holding pressure and machine setting constant, this is my data using Simplus:

Many blood pressure monitors will identify AF while monitoring your heartbeat. Devices are starting to appear on the market that can take an ECG, and I have been testing one (Kardia) to see how well it monitors my heart rhythm. Seems like a straight forward measure that a simple device could make. I'm not sure how accurate my Kardia is for assessing other typical ECG measures like P-wave QRS, or T-wave. Also, I believe that Apple has a watch that can do some ECG measures.
