- Ladies and gents, we are back in the boardroom.
Thanks for joining me.
I have with me the latest from Fisher & Paykel, the Vitera!
(Nick laughs)
Man, I love Fisher & Paykel as a company.
I've met a lot of the people who work
for Fisher & Paykel, in Australia.
They are a great bunch of people and
I love their marketing team.
I love their names that they come up with.
Eson, which is nose spelled backwards
for their nasal mask.
Just genius stuff like that.
I could just imagine them sitting around
with their marketing team just brainstorming
and just coming up with all these funny names that I love.
But the Vitera, their new full face mask,
looks a lot similar to the Simplus,
but they've just made some improvements on that mask.
That mask itself was an absolute ripper for Fisher Paykel.
It was easily, by far, their best
full face mask they've ever had,
not that they've had too many
good full face masks before that one unfortunately,
but the Simplus, it was a cracker
and reviews-wise on that one
I think 450 reviews I looked at
and 4.5 stars average, so very very very
very good mask so you can understand
why they probably haven't wanted to
vary too much from that design because
it has been so successful,
but they've made a few improvements
and we'll discuss them with you shortly.
So, like most of my videos, I think we start
with a bit of a close up.
Let's talk about some of the features.
Alright guys here we are up close and personal
with the Vitera from Fisher & Paykel.
As you see around here, you can see the new
VentiCool headgear.
This headgear is designed to keep you
nice and cool during the night,
so if you're one of those people that gets hot flushes,
I know I do, then this headgear is going to
really promote keeping your head
nice and cool over nighttime.
It's great for moisture transfer
and you get a lot more airflow with this headgear.
You can see here these straps also, we'll be doing
a lot of the adjustment of these nice little tabs
that they've put on.
Just makes it easy to actually find
where to grab it from, so you can
(Velcro rips)
I love, really love, this Velcro as well,
just doesn't die on you, so really nice headgear,
really durable headgear. You can sort of see the profile
of the mask as we swing around.
Here's your exhalation port, here at the top.
There's your mask frame, so they've redesigned
the mask frame a little bit and then
you sort of have this T-bar at the top here.
Now, although this is a bit annoying,
the fact that comes up in front of your eyes here
it's very important, because it provides a great stability
for the mask so this mask is renowned for having
excellent mask seal and part of that's because
it has great headgear, a great seal,
this RollFit XT seal, it's a new seal but
very similar to the Simplus seal,
but that, coupled with this great mask frame
gives you excellent stability during the night time,
so you're not going to be battling with a
whole lot of mass leaks with this mask, all right?
That's your Vitera, you see here that it's got
a nice a lot of movement,
so when you move around with that tube attached to it,
it's got some nice play to it
and it's going to be going wherever you're going.
Alright, let's take some of the components apart
and have a look at them.
All right, the Vitera.
You can pick it up in small, medium and large sizes,
and I will put a sizing guide in
the description of the video
so you can suss out which size is right for you.
I will also put a link into the video description
where you can purchase it from and
if you put in my name, N I C K, in the coupon section,
you're going to get a nice juicy discount
on top of already awesome prices.
Now, why are you going to go and get one?
Well, if you have already got a Simplus mask
I still reckon there's enough features here to upgrade,
especially if you're Simplus is starting to
look a little bit average.
I know you probably love your Simplus,
but it's very similar.
But you're going to get the new headgear,
new RollFit XT seal, it's a new frame design,
better clips, there's enough to warrant an upgrade.
If you've currently got another mask
and you're just finding to get
you're struggling to get a good seal
and you're getting a lot of air leaks,
definitely check out the Vitera.
These RollFit XT seals are incredible
and they're great for a big wide audience.
Okay, they fit a huge range of faces,
that's the beauty of them.
Now, the other thing is if you're someone who's getting hot,
over nighttime, check out the VentiCool headgear,
Oh! the VentiCool!
It's going to keep you cool, especially coming into summer.
It produces that airflow,
takes away all that moisture and that heat
and keeps your head nice and cool over nighttime.
Apart from that, look, Fisher & Paykel themselves,
just a great team, I've got a bit of a soft spot for them.
I've met some of the people.
They're really nice people and
a really nice company and
I've been to some of their product launches and
some of their education sessions and
I just love what they're about.
So, yeah, good company, good mask, good products.
Check it out.
And have yourself a good day.
Some of my other videos will start
popping up around the place, so you click on them
if you want to watch some more,
but as always, I'd really appreciate it
if you liked the video, comment
or give me some feedback.
If you've got one of these masks,
share your thoughts about it
in the comments below, because people love reading
that sort of stuff, especially from people who
have the mask at home and are using over nighttime,
but as always, I hope everything's going well
with your sleep apnea. Thanks for watching and
have a good one. Cheers.
