Great mask

"After trying just about every full-face mask, this is the one that fits me the best. I love the chin piece and the fact it does not attach to my forehead. Also the wicked sores on my nose are gone. I love my this mask!"

"Mask is too hard at nose contact. Headgear fits too low on neck causing discomfort and changing mask tightness when head is moved back and forward."

when they say smaller than normal they mean it.

"I think the mask is right on the edge of being perfect for me as a side sleeper, unfortunately I'll never know because I measured my face with digital calipers, 5.05, the medium size starts at 5.00, so I bought medium.
SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SMALL!!! SERIOSLY, THEY ARE NOT KIDDING ABOUT BUYING SMALLER THAN NORMAL AND ERRORING ON THE SIDE OF SMALLER. </END RANT>
Consequently I have to really crank down the headgear so it doesn't leak, which leaves marks on my face for hours.
Now the only real design flaw I can identify is the vent. The vent is located in the intake elbow where it makes the 90 turn from the hose to the mask. This location means that when you exhale, you change the incoming airflow significantly. In other words, this mask is very loud. My wife complained that she had to wear earplugs the two nights I actually tried to wear it.
I think this mask would be loud even if I had the right size, but if they could vent it through holes in the actual mask like every other mask this thing would be really comfortable."

"So far I have worn six full face masks: two from ResMed, one from Fisher Paykel, one from Probasics, one from Respironics, one from Hans Rudolph and one from InnoMed. The full face mask that has been the most satisfactory for me is the Han Rudolph 7600 Series V2. I am currently wearing my second HR V2. The face piece is a single piece mask made of soft silicone rubber with a facial sealing flange. One advantage of a flexible face mask is that you can push inward to releive an itch or irritation on the face or nose after the mask in secured on the face. The face mask design is anatomicaly contoured with a ribbed support for a leak free comfortable fit. This provides for a tight seal on my face and nose. Since I have used the HR V2 the tender and sometimes bloody sore on the bridge of my nose has healed. The HR V2 has an integrated chin support that keeps the mask in its optimal position. I find that this eliminates the guesswork about whether I have the mask postitioned correctly on my face. The HR V2 has an anti-asphyxia valve which allows me to breathe room air if the flow device malfunctions. The elbow port turns through 360 degrees which gives me better freedom of movement. The HR V2 can easily be disconnected from my CPAP machine by the detachable swivel port. I do not need to disconnect any straps and completely take off my mask to go out of my bedroom. The HR V2 does not have a forehead support. For me, forehead supports always need readjusting and are not comfortable on my forehead. The HR V2 has quick-release strap clips. The bottom pair have small pull handles and can easily be identified from the upper two which are smooth and do not have pull handles. The HR V2 is very easy to clean with soap and water. I take a medium size in most full face masks. The Hans Rudolph V2 runs one size smaller that most other full face masks. I take a small size for the HR V2 mask but for other full face masks I need size medium."

Problems with leaking

"The Hans Rudolph 7600 Series V2 Full Face Mask is very well made and has many excellent features. However, we could not get the mask to stop leaking at the nose. It might make a difference that my husband's cheekbones are a little higher. The top of the mask did not come even near his nose unless we took the top strap and actually hooked it down on the bottom strap (near his ears). Perhaps Hans Rudolph needs to make an adjustment in the headgear placement to prevent leaks."
