Wizard-Fit mask

[silvercarper]

I am trying to obtain a Wizard-Fit full face mask to replace my broken ZZZ mask.
They seem to be obtainable in Australia and other parts of the far east but not in the UK at present.

I have just sent them an email asking for a price and also asking if they will ship to the uk.

Sure, they are available in UK. The Italian guy was pushing me to buy one when I was pricing an Apex CPAP.

James, can you help with the phone no./ email address of the 'sole importer'?

Rant!!!!!!

The situation is that at present I have 2 broken masks and another mask which is too small.

My hospital does not normally supply full face masks so does not have a mask available.

The mask I am most comfortable with is the ZZZ/Wizard but this is not available in the UK anymore and is only available from overseas.

And lastly my GP will only write a prescription for NHS items .

GRHHHHHHHHH

HELP!!!!!

If you are only after a mask, you don't need a prescription; that is only needed for the CPAP machine itself to give the settings.

My relative in the states checked with CPAP.COM and they told her that a prescription is required for a mask . Also their website says that a prescription is required

Ah right...yes, in the US it appears you need a prescription for a mask. It might be worth contacting them from the UK though and explaining you can't get one because you don't need one from over here; as they ship overseas they will probably have dealt with a similar problem before. Of course, they will charge you $70 to ship, and then there will be import duties to pay when it arrives...

I have been able to repair my ZZZ masks using heat shrink tubing for present. I dont know how long the repair will last but hopefully it will be long enough for other masks to become in stock.
I still cant understand why my hospital dont supply full face masks but have the finance available to supply APAP,s.

Shouldn't be any import duty, medical equipment!

zzz mask

Hi silvercarper I have just ordered 2 zzz masks from the states, £123 for 2 inc shipping and no duty is payable with right customs code on box.
Have ordered loads of cpap gear from the states never any problem. If you want the details just let me know.

I have repaired???? the break in the frames by using heat shrink tubing. The repair looks good but only time will tell if it stands the test of time.

Are you saying?

Hi silvercarper

When you say, "The mask I am most comfortable with is the ZZZ/Wizard but this is not available in the UK"are you saying that the Wizard and the ZZZ are one and the same thing, just different names?

I hope not!

YES

Apart from the oxygen inlets being in a different place, which i believe the later ZZZ,s have, they look identical.

That looks like a ZZZ to me

zzz mask

The ZZZ mask is one of many names this mask has, The mask was sold to Uk distributors Via Probasics. It's an import mask rebranded ZZZ Probasics but they are not the only one's. It's Probasics that have discontinued it not the real maker. Another name for it is (Roscoe full faced Mask) the details I passed onto James a few weeks ago as an alternative supplier but not heard anything since.
The wizard mask is the same, They have a Uk Trade outlet. Perhap Intus could look at this!!!!!! via your link.
