Hans Rudolph 7600 Series V2 Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear

Roberta B, NH – August 28, 2010

"The most comfortable mask I have had in the ten years that I have been buying masks. The apron around the edges fits like a skin, although the mask does still move slightly when I move. It is easily readjusted to avoid leaks, though."

Not a bad mask but....

whitetiger, WY – April 20, 2010

"This mask has lots of adjustments. I don't use a high pressure and it seems to keep a decent seal. I needed to have it fairly tight though. It is kind of bulky. I was able to sleep on my side. The like the quick clips but they are a little small to grab and the hose connects and disconnects easily. I'm not positive about the sizing. Seems just a little small but then I have yet to find a mask from any company that can make a mask that fits the people with a little larger upper bridge of the nose. And mine is not extremely large. To me this seems like an easy fix but nobody wants to try. I'm just about over using my CPAP because of masks that have to be so tight that it cuts into the bridge of the nose."

pleased with product

Janet W, MO – March 20, 2010

"I have tried multiple masks. nasal masks did not work because my jaw falls
open when I sleep. Tried full face masks and jaw straps. Wanted just one product that would do the job.
I had contacted Hans Rudolph direct at one time but they can't sell to me and my DME vendor says he didn't like the mask. To many returns. So the
respiratory therapist let me try it anyway. But he couldn't get it to stop leaking and was impatient and said it won't work. So I wasn't given time to play with it and adjust myself
I decided to buy the product on my own. At first I had trouble getting a seal as well. I was frustrated but kept at it. I tried couple hours every night before going back to my old mask. FINALLY DAY 4. I was figuring it out. I can get a good seal. It's very comfortable and I wear it all night and I will buy this mask again. I'm happy I persisted. You have to keep adjusting the straps until snug but not over tight. You will leak when turning over or moving your head but it settles down on it's own or I just pull it away from my face and let the air seal it again Patience paid off very well for me, Once adjusted (straps) it's great. JUST PATIENCE the clips took getting used to as well but now I like them."

Promising, but not quite there.

"I am a longtime user of the Resmed Quattro mask, as the "least worst" option in terms of fit - I still fight with leaks constantly due to the round shape and asymmetry of my face.

My doc recommended trying a chin strap. The ones available seemed like a pain to use with a full-face mask (mostly due to interference with the mask on the chin). However I saw the HR has the flap under the chin, so I thought I'd give it a try.

It was promising - the chin flap does indeed keep my jaw from dropping and makes a much more stable mask than the Quattro when I turn on my side. However the fit still doesn't work out in the areas under my cheekbones. In order to stop the leaks at all I need to make it quite tight, and the pressure on my cheekbones is then too high to be comfortable.

Pros: Chin flap, pliability of the whole mask gives some chance of a decent fit. Inner flaps help the seal a lot. Less obstruction of vision, if I had a TV I'd be able to watch it with this on. :-) Seems well-made. Easy to clean, reasonably easy to put on and take off. Hose quick-disconnect is also nice.

Cons: Doesn't fit well on my round face. Needed to be cleaned before first use; the mask had some sort of powder on it even though it was sealed in its bag (I presume it's a release agent from the molding process, it seemed harmless). Very loud exhaust, and vents straight at my spouse.

I intend to give it another try when I can afford a couple bad nights of sleep. Again it does seem promising, but for now I'm back to my Quattro."

very pleased

"I did a lot of research before I ordered, and the previous reviews really helped.
As said in a previous review, the whole key with this mask/headgear is to not give up easily ... keep playing with adjustments until it works best for you.
I have used many brands of masks, and I have to honestly say that this is a well made mask and it works extremely well after finding the right adjustment with the headgear. Also, I had used a medium size with other masks and a size small with the zzzzzmask. I did like the zzzzmask, but the hard plastic frame broke and the clips came unhooked during sleep. I ordered an extra small in this mask, and it is the perfect size. I do like this mask by far the best of all I've used, and I've used many over the nine year period of using a CPAP.
As far as the top part of the mask, I did have to tighten quite tight to seal. I use a strip of moleskin or a square of toilet tissue folded to prevent reddness on the nose and to further aid in sealing.
The headgear is awesome .. I have C5-C7 neck fusion and I've had huge issues with other headgear. I have the small headgear ... I found that it works best for me to adjust the very top first, then the above the ear straps/hooks and last the bottom straps/hooks and it doesn't bother my neck ... gotta love it!!!! This process also gave me the best mask sealing.
I did have problems the first night. I called the 800 number and the person that I talked to got an actual mask/headgear like mine to look at and manipulate to give the answers that I needed .. I wasn't pushing the clips to make them click to secure them.
I also talked with other personel before ordering, and I have to say that the customer service of all that I spoke with was outstanding, pleasant and very helpful.
I also have found a wealth of information on CPAPtalk.com. It's worth time to check it out.
It has been an overall very pleasant experience."
