CPAP PRO "no mask" ?

[Tigers Fan]

You are quaint, Fredxx! No good without a kite mark! Not British, what!

I agree the need for safety standards, but let's have international equivalency, please!!! Try telling the French and Gemans that their stuff is not good enough for us!

thank you

thank you for your reply, my reason for looking at this particular brand is: #1 I have rosacea, and I am concerned what a mask/straps would do to the skin on my face, as it is fragile. #2 I have to wear a bite block because I grind my teeth at night, and the 'no mask' kinda has a bite block as part of it. So, these are the reasons I am interested in this. Thank you.

I'm just a cynical old so and so...

I thought after I had finished typing...the real test is whether they would ship to the UK (without the CE certification) ... if they did, they aren't reputable!

But, As I said, as it is worth looking at, James is on the ball and looking!

As a matter of fact, we're just waiting for CE to come through and we'll have those "No Masks" in. They have been going for years, if they weren't reputable, BBB would have put them out of business. But they have many repeat customers and it's finally almost ready for use in Europe.

The not reaching REM thing may have been slightly overzealous, but you can find such statements in any manufacturer's brochure.

As with all masks, this one won't suit 100% of people. Some will hate it, a lot of people will love it. Until the day the perfect mask comes (never) we'll need as much choice as we can to increase the chance there is one available that suits your very individual you.

So all in all, we do rate it, as yet another great tool in the box. Plenty of happy users out there so it has got to work here too.

I think the quote in their faq says how respectable a company they are:

"With severe skin irritation, annoying leakage and the need to constantly tighten straps, it is almost impossible for the patient to reach essential "REM" sleep with conventional masks."

Almost impossible? how come the majority of CPAP users do manage it then! That quote alone tells me they aren't a reputable company, and are probably selling uncertified equipment through scare tactics.

If it is reputable equipment, I am sure James and co. will be looking into it, and if it is, will start spreading the word like they did with the sleepweaver

I am a newbie, haven't ordered a machine yet. Has anyone tried the CPAP PRO at nomask.com? It sounds too good to be true, with no head gear. Thank you. Any suggestions on machines/masks is appreciated. I know my Dr. will suggest one, but I value ya'll's opinions. Tori
