- Ladies and gentlemen,
I think we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
(elephant trumpet)
(upbeat music)
G'day mates, happy new year.
Today I'm gonna review the new Fisher and Paykel
Evora full.
But there's one thing that's not new,
and that's, it's name.
What's going on guys,
don't tell me your marketing team's getting
a little bit lazy, I don't believe it.
The same guys that came up with the best marketing name
for a mask of all time, ESON, which is nose spell backwards.
Now that is marketing goal.
Now it's clear to me that the F and P marketing team,
they need our help.
They needed it bad.
They've run out of names for their CPAP mask,
but lucky for them, of course 65,000 of the best CPAP users
in the world and together United,
we're gonna name the next F and P CPAP mask.
We're gonna come out with a new name
and I'm gonna give away five, five,
of these brand new Evora full fit packs to those
of you that can come up with the best CPAP mask name.
Make me laugh, and an Evora full is coming your way.
Comment down below, and let's hear your best mask names.
I'll go first.
Now a lot of people get a little
bit embarrassed wearing CPAP mask,
but I wanna change that mindset and make CPAP sexy.
I'm bringing sexy back.
♪ I'm bringing sexy back ♪
♪ You are the (mumbles) ♪
Anyway, I've come up with a name that I think
is really gonna make this CPAP mask sexy.
You ready for it?
Introducing, from Fisher and Paykel,
the brand new Fellati Pro, it'll blow your mind.
Now over to you guys,
comment down below and let's see your names.
So to start, I'm just gonna give you a little 360
of the Evora full, just so you can have a look
at it from different angles.
See how the head gear sits on the head,
around to the side again.
You can see from this angle
it doesn't sit too far out from your face,
it's certainly a very compact design.
Around to the front again,
and then if I lean it forward there,
you can see the adjustable crown strap at the top.
Now you can get this mask in what's called a fit pack.
And with the fit pack, you get three size cushions.
You get the small to medium cushion,
which is currently attached to the mask.
You also get the extra small cushion, and the large cushion.
And where the cushions vary in size is the nasal part here.
If I hold that up here, you can see the different sizes.
The mouth size is the same across all sizes.
So the mouth size doesn't change.
The headgear comes in two sizes; standard and large.
Standard's gonna fit most people.
However, if you are someone that has a larger head,
you can swap it over for a larger strap.
Now let's take the mask apart
and I can show you the different components.
This mask is very easy to take apart for cleaning
and it's also very easy to put back together.
We'll start by taking off the head gear.
So, with the clips at the bottom,
we just turn them like you're turning your key.
Just turn it to the side there, and they pull out.
Once again the bottom, and this is a really cool design,
this little clip at the front here.
It means you can detach the whole head gear without having
to remove the Velcro.
So, we can take it off and wash it and put it back on.
And it's gonna be exactly the same size
and tension as it was previously.
This patch here is the ventricle patch,
and this is designed to take away heat
and moisture from your head.
The Velcro F and P standard Velcro, very good Velcro.
And it also has these nice little tab sections,
which means it's very easy to grab when you are changing it.
You're not feeling around trying to find it which is great.
Clips, very nice, strong sturdy clips.
And then this part here is the little clip section.
We'll now remove the cushion and to do so,
I just push in where the clips go,
it now becomes very easy to remove the cushion.
And we'll take a closer look
at this cushion now 'cause it's fantastic.
This is probably my favorite part about this mask.
It's the cushion.
I believe they've now the cushion fantastic seal.
So, this one here is the small to medium,
and I'll just give you a closer look here.
The cushion, it's very soft here,
but it's also got great support.
And I'll now hold up the extra small.
So there's the extra small on the right,
and then also the large.
You see it's just a bit larger there.
Here's the comparison with some competing masks.
So, this here is a Dreamwear full and the Evora full.
I just thought I'd show you a little
bit of a comparison there.
And also the F30i from ResMed.
Very similar, you can see there's a bit of difference there.
Now we have the short tube assembly here,
which is got a bit of play to it,
which is nice for the stretch and the frame.
There's you mask frame.
They call these sections here, the stability wings.
Now to take off the tube, we just wanna grab...
It's got little ridges here.
We just wanna grab it.
You shouldn't have to do this too often,
but you just want to grab it here.
And it's a little bit tough.
I think it will loosen up over time,
but it is a little bit tough to take that on and off
but that's how you do it.
You don't wanna pull it from here.
If you pull it from here,
you're gonna end up stretching this tube here.
You're gonna have to get a new tube.
But just pull that off.
Haley, can I borrow you for a quick second?
Is Haley there?
So, here's the quick release connector
that attaches to the short tube assembly.
And it's not too bad,
but it is certainly a little bit
of a challenge to get it off here.
So, when we put it into the tube here,
you've only got a really small area to grab hold of.
So, when you're wanting to take that out,
now to demonstrate, I'm just gonna Haley here,
and Haley's gonna see if she can do it.
So, this from there and there.
See it's quite tough, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- So it's quite tough.
And for those of you that have arthritis,
or maybe you're getting a little bit old and you don't have
as much strength in your hands,
that can be certainly a bit tough to do.
So I wanna show you another product that I'm gonna
be discussing this year, which I absolutely love.
It's a mid-block adapter.
And we just put that on here,
the other end goes on your tubing and now boom.
So, to put it back together,
first grab at your cushion,
just pushes in like so, and then just push it in.
Grab your short tube assembly, click it on.
Just lay out your head gear, the straps like so,
place your mask in the middle,
and then you just gonna fold in.
So just fold in one clip, followed in two clip
and then you bring the clip over the top, let's press down,
press down and there we go back together.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
- Are you recording right now?
- Yep.
- Cool, I've had my turn now.
- So I'm gonna do a little demonstration fitting
on my gorgeous daughter Haley.
- It's an elephant trunk.
(laughing)
- So I'm just gonna switch over.
So that's a smaller to medium,
Haley is certainly gonna need the extra small.
Where is it?
So, pretty straightforward,
all we're gonna do is take the bottom clips off,
and then we can pass the mask over her head like so.
Right now it's a bit big for Haley.
- Very big.
- Not made for the kids.
Pass it round like so,
can you just hold that there for me Haley yet.
And then we can adjust the Velcro straps to suit.
Now, obviously this is too big for Haley,
but that's all right.
You won't have to wear one for a while.
Now, here's something you might not know,
Haley had very bad sleep apnea and so did Zach,
and they both had to go and see an ENT;
ear, nose and throat specialist to have their tonsils
and adenoids glands removed when they were two years old.
But they're basically go in there,
remove the tonsils and adenoids glands.
And once she had that surgery, she was much, much better,
but both kids had super severe sleep apnea, crazy.
- Mmhh-mm
- But this is it.
Just turn this side for me, beautiful.
And when you got to remove it,
all you do it's just like that.
Just turn the key, lift that up over your head
and you're done.
- Bye.
- Cleaning is super easy guys.
We just take the components apart,
get a little tub of lukewarm soapy water.
If you can get something that's quite gentle, a gentle soap,
one that's non-toxic and then just give all
the components a little bit of a scrub just
with a little gentle dish cloth.
Just be really gentle here
when you're doing the mask cushion,
especially this part just down the bottom here.
This part here is quite thin.
So just be a bit gentle,
but just give it a good wash, good wipe down,
rinse with clean water and then just leave
to dry out of direct sunlight.
And that's in a way you go pretty straight forward.
If you want to, you could use a little tube brush,
get a little instrument tube brush
or just a CPAP tube brush with this as well.
And you can just feed the tube brush in
and get a little bit of a clean.
Easy.
Here's my personal feedback
after using the mask for 30 days,
and I've just got some notes here.
So, it's definitely the best full face mask
that Fisher and Paykel have ever designed without a doubt.
I do like the Valterra and the simplest mask,
both great masks as well.
However, they are quite big and bulky,
and I do feel that we're moving
towards these more minimalistic designs.
These more compact designs that sit below the eyes
so they're not so claustrophobic.
The smaller medium cushion itself was a perfect fit for me.
It was bang on perfect, no mass leaks into the eyes.
It's a 10 out of 10 cushion no doubt.
The mask noise was pretty good,
however, I would love to see some more innovation
when it comes to the exhalation ports on mask.
The little holes, can you see them there the little holes.
I like where they put the holes, don't get me wrong.
Like they've done well where they've put them.
However, I just don't get why these companies
aren't coming out with better technology
regarding the holes
They do it with the ACE on too, with the little diffuser,
they do it with the reverter,
there has to be a way to use these diffusers
on full face masks as well because the holes,
you feel the air rushing out them a little bit more.
They can also get a bit of moisture.
They start whistling a little bit
if you get a little bit of condensation in them.
And I just feel that that's an area
of improvement, the holes.
What else have I got?
Love the compact design,
and it's very easy to wear, to take apart, to clean.
However, I do enjoy the magnetic clips on the (indistinct)
and the dreamwear mask, the dreamwear full.
The clips are cool, don't get me wrong
and they're easy to use.
It's not that's really challenging,
but I just like the magnets.
I do know however, that some people can't use magnets
if you've got pacemakers.
So, maybe it is good that we have some manufacturers
that aren't using the magnets.
Apart from the little short assembly tube,
it's very easy to take apart.
Now, I have just noticed when I was playing with it before,
instead of trying to pull like straight out,
if you give it a bit more of that emotion, it's easier.
So originally, I was trying to pull down.
But if you just do a bit more
of that emotion, it comes off easier.
So, that was that might've been my mistake.
But just be a bit careful there,
perhaps they could have made
that section a little bit longer
and had a bit wider tabs just
so you could really grab hold of it
because it's only a small part that you can grab there
and make sure you don't wanna pull from there.
'Cause if you pull from there,
you can just see maybe from when Haley did it before
it's already wearing a little bit there.
But I think it's a durable design all up.
I can't see any other part that's really gonna be fragile.
You might just wanna make sure when you're cleaning,
the cushion as I said before,
just this little section here is quite thin.
You won't be able to see it there, quite thin.
A bit thin around here, just be a little bit gentle there.
But it seems like a durable design.
Now, if you buy this mask online,
you most definitely wanna buy it in the fit pack
which comes with the different cushions.
If you're gonna get sized up in the shop,
it's not so important because the consultant
or your CPAP tech is gonna fit you out for the right size
and try the different ones on you.
But if you're buying online, just get the fit pack
'cause it's gonna take the guesswork out
of picking the right size.
And then when it gets delivered,
you can try out the different sides of yourself to find
which one's most comfortable for you,
but also which ones gonna seal the best.
So, fit pack is the way to go.
Here's something that you might not know,
Fisher and Paykel have a SureFit satisfaction guarantee
on all their CPAP masks.
And what this means is you can go into a clinic,
get fitted for Fisher and Paykel mask,
you can take it home and use it for 30 days,
and if you're not completely satisfied with that mask,
you can return to the clinic for either a full refund
or an exchange, whatever you like.
But that's really good.
That's peace of mind right there
that you can get a mask, you can grab this Evora full,
get it fitted, take it home, and if you sleep with it,
and you're just not liking it for any reason,
then you can take it back and exchange it for another mask
or just get your money back.
I really liked that.
Now, currently I don't believe
the Evora full is available in the US.
I don't think it's been released there,
which is a little bit back to front.
Normally all you guys over in the US get
all the cool CPAP gear a few months before we do,
we'd only have to wait for it.
So, this time around, we've got the Evora full
and you guys have to wait.
Now, when it does become available over in the U S,
you'll be able to pick it up from my sponsor, sleeplay.
The guys over there are really gonna look after you
and I'll organize a coupon code.
I think it's gonna be Fellati Pro.
I'll put a link in the description,
but for all you lucky viewers in Australia,
you're gonna be able to pick it up
from my other sponsors CPAP Direct.
My Ozzy sponsor.
Now, these guys are the largest independent,
that word's really important.
Independency CPAP happening in Australia,
they've got heaps of clinics,
so you're gonna be able to go into one
of these clinics if you want, get it fitted,
and that way you can also get the SureFit guarantee,
which is awesome.
And I think again, that coupon will be Fellati Pro.
I'll put the link in the description below
so you can check it out.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that guys.
Happy new year to you all, this is the first video for 2022,
and hopefully it's a great year for everyone.
I sure hope it's a whole lot better than 2021
and there's no more crazy recalls so we can move on from all
that from all that fun great stuff.
