Wizard-Fit mask

[symmit]

I believe the manufacturer of these is Hsiner, my machine came with a nasal mask badged Hoffrichter but listed as Hsiner in the manual.

Maybe Intus or someone else could buy a few boxes from source, I'm getting on really well with the nasal mask and again, they're as cheap as they come

I think its now 4 different names for the same mask or am I loosing count!

[silvercarper]

I have now bought a Wizard-Fit mask and the only differences I can see, compared to the ZZZ, is that top headgear fixing is different . This allows removal of the headgear without loosing the settings.
Also the headgear is wider and it looks like its made from different material.
There is also a Wizard-Fit PLUS which is a different mask with a forehead support.

As with my ZZZ masks I have used in the past one of the three vent holes on the Wizard is blocked with a thin layer of plastic.
On my previous ZZZ masks I have unblocked this third vent but should I do so.
There is no mention in the instruction book or on the net about this .

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'?

We are Apex resellers and can actually get this mask through about a dozen such sole importers, funny enough. It's a mass-made OEM white label mask from the far east which about a dozen companies slap their own name on. We've not been too impressed with the build quality but if it means commanding a lower price, we're all for it. But progress is slow. I know silvercarper has phoned us a few times without much luck but we're due another line-update so I'll see what I can do. If all of you who want one can e-mail in, it's easier to gauge numbers etc.

Mask of many names

There does seem to be some design differences between suppliers models.
The headgear on the Apex Wizard can be removed without disturbing the tab setting and also has a better headgear.
I am still trying to find out if the third vent on the mask should be sealed up.
The previous ZZZ masks Intus supplied also had the vent sealed and I was advised to open it up.
I would like to contact the manufacturer of the mask but its difficult . Is it Hsiner or are they yet another supplier.

I purchased my wizard fit on eBay for $120 aust. Mine also has the third hole sealed. Nobody in my city sells them and my clinician doesn't know much about them so I been thinking of emailing the seller to find out whether I can open the third hole.

[silvercarper]

I have been told that some machines cant cope with the additional flow if the third hole is opened.

[rocka64]

Well I took the chance last night and opened the third hole. It was much quieter and my f&p hc254 auto seemed to cope ok.

I woke up at 4am from a dream and then went back to sleep till my alarm went off at 5.30 and dreaming again! I couldn't remember what I dreamt but it's got to be good that I was able to dream.
