AirFit™ F30 CPAP Mask Review
The CPAP manufacturer, ResMed is out with a brand new full-face CPAP mask that many are calling "ground-breaking" and a “game-changer”! The AirFit™ F30 launched first across Canada in late 2018. It will be available in the United States and other select countries in 2019. The F30 is the little brother to the super-popular AirFit™ F20 and ResMed is putting a lot of faith in this Sleep Apnea mask - and for good reasons.
The F30 lower profile CPAP mask is not just smaller, it’s completely redesigned. It sits lower on the face, with an ultra-compact nasal cushion that covers just the tip of the nose to the bottom lip. The cushion style claims to provide a secure fit and a perfect seal.
Forget the days of clunky masks that go from your chin to the bridge of your nose, blocking your view and leaving you with irritation, straplines and redness in the morning. The soft, flexible frame and buttery-soft nasal padding keep your nose from getting squished as you sleep.
When compared to top leading minimal contact CPAP masks available on the market, up to 80% of the users in a clinical study reported that AirFit™ F30 was much easier to use than other leading masks. Up to 60% of the patients reported that they have experienced a more stable fit and a more reliable seal with the AirFit™ F30.
Based on published performance studies, the AirFit™ F30 is a third quieter than other leading Sleep Apnea masks (Imagine a whisper or rustling leaves compared to the sound of a humming refrigerator).
An improved venting system called Quiet Air Vent System on the F30 has been designed to disperse exhaled air smoothly and evenly instead of jetting it out (as some masks do) making for a much quieter mask that helps keep bed partners sleeping quietly too.
The AirFit™ F30 is a beautiful creation. It's lightweight, modern, minimalist and has truly been redesigned. It has piqued many user's interests to see if it's worthy of all the hype.

Introducing the O2 Canada Mask
Our CPAPmachines.ca team has always been asked the same question repeatedly, “Can I use my CPAP machine to get more air during the day?” The answer is NO! CPAP therapy doesn’t give you more air, it only provides the user with pressurized air to maintain an open airway. Thus, using the CPAP during the daytime would not give you better air. However, we live by the promise that when you have a problem, we will find you a solution. So, let us proudly introduce to you our latest addition to our product family, the O2 Curve - Personal Anti-Pollution Filtration Mask.
Did you know that Canadians invented the first gas mask to protect soldiers from chemical warfare in WWI? With a similar idea, O2 Canada developed an everyday air pollution mask that people from the most deadly particles not visible to the human eye. The reusable personal anti-pollution filtration mask is designed specifically for daily use. It is great for athletes that exercise outdoors, population that suffers from nasal allergies, people who live in an air-polluted area as well as CPAP users who wish to breathe in better air throughout the day! But I must remind you that this mask is a non-CPAP related product. It is a new wearable technology that could improve the quality of your everyday life.
First, let’s take a look at the design!
With the ability to change up the shell colour; you can match your O2 Curve with every outfit you choose. Not only is the O2 Curve trendy and fashionable; it also works just as well as an N95 mask.
So, let’s talk about how the filter actually works!
With the breathable filtration technology; you can choose between two highly effective filters. The Commuter Filters and the Competitors Filters. These electrostatic filters trap mechanical pollutants found in pollution as well as bacteria and diseases. And how do they do that? Well, these filters are charged with pockets of both negative and positive ions, which attract, trap and neutralize small particles. The Commuter Filters and designed for everyday wear whereas the Competitors Filters are made for those who exercise outdoor and need a more breathable filter.
And the best of all?
The O2 Curve is available NOW on CPAPmachines.ca. Send your special someone this blog and give them a hint on what you want for this holiday season! Happy Shopping!
