- What's up guys, Nick here again from CPAP reviews.
Thanks for tuning in wherever you are in the world.
It's good to be with you.
And today We're having a look
at the ResMed P30i pillow mask.
Which is their latest and greatest
taking on from the P10 mask,
which is also a cracker in its own right.
But it's a new redesign mask, so a completely new frame,
pillow, head gear, elbow, new mask and it looks fantastic.
It does look however,
a lot like the Phillips dreamwear mask.
So they certainly borrowed a few design tips
from Philips with this new mask.
But the mask itself,
if you're looking to get your hands on it,
you can get it with either the standard starter pack
or a small starter pack.
The difference between the two starter packs
is the frame size.
So the standard coming with this medium or standard frame
this hollow frame section that runs down the side here.
It's gonna fit about 90% of you.
And then the smaller frame starter pack.
And each starter pack
comes with three sized pillows sections.
You've got your small, medium and large.
You're going to be able to find a pillow station
that suits your nostrils just fine.
So let's have a bit of an up close
and personal with the mask.
So you can get a better understanding
of how the components fit together.
So here we're up close and personal with the P30i
from the front on.
As we swing around, we can see
they have these nice soft wraps on the frame here.
It's a hollow frame.
So the air actually runs right through this frame section.
Coming round to the nice soft head gear at the back here.
(Velcro snapping)
You shouldn't have to adjust this too many times,
so the Velcro should stay pretty good.
And back around again.
At the front here, you have their new
quiet air exhalation port.
And on the top you have the elbow itself.
This elbow is a quick release elbow,
meaning it's very easy to get up,
take your mask off in the middle of the night .
In order to change the pillow size,
we just grab one hand on the pillow,
one hand on the frame and then just give a quick pull.
And then again, on the other side, quick pull.
And then you can grab another one, another pillow.
And it's important here just to match up
the little arrow here with the other arrow.
There is no arrow.
Okay. So then that's,
so you're putting it in the right way.
And then that's as easy as changing it.
We can also remove,
we just pinch here, that's the quiet air filter.
you can take that out to be cleaned.
And when you cleaning the pillow section,
if you wanna get nice and in inside the pillow section
to clean it, you can clean it like so.
Spinning around here, we've got the elbow,
that's a quick release just by pinching
on those little sides there,
you pinch that and that arrow comes out.
You can also
just use that to be cleaning the inside of the frame there,
but that's the Arbor there.
You can see it sort of swivels around like so.
That's your new P30i.
Alright guys, I'll quickly go through
some of the key features of the P30i.
Number one being this top of the head design
where the tube connects,
this is fantastic especially if you're a side sleeper,
because it removes all the mass tubing
and everything from the front of the masks
and puts it at the back. So when you are on your side,
instead of having everything here in front of you
and you're juggling it around when you're moving,
it puts it at the back.
So it's very easy to sort of switch over and not have to
carry that shipping and everything with you
and getting tangled up with that tubing.
Same if you sleep on your stomach, It's very easy
'cause it puts the tube at the back of the head there.
Not so great if you sleep on your back because
obviously the tubing and everything's gonna be
sort of around the back of your head there.
Secondly, is this quiet air diffuser at the front here.
I reckon that it's 80% quieter than
most of the nasal pillow masks on the market.
And also with the diffuser means the air doesn't shoot
across at your partner.
So being quieter and with less air
sort of diffusing out of that,
it means that you can probably sleep
a bit closer to your partner
than you might be able to normally.
Just be aware there are holes in the elbow
at the top here as well.
So you will get a little bit of air
coming out through the top there.
Another feature is obviously a lot of the companies now
are going for this clear sort of view,
it makes it less claustrophobic.
It feels a bit more minimalistic.
And so when you're wearing it,
there's not so much stuff jumping on your face.
It means if you wanna to scroll through your Instagram
or your YouTube, or you want to watch a bit of TV,
read a book, you can do so before your falling asleep.
But just mainly I think it just makes it
a bit more minimalistic, less sort of being cumbersome.
And that's what they're sort of going for.
So let's talk about some customer feedback.
The 32 reviews I looked at
had an average star rating of 4.5 out of five.
Now anything over four is pretty damn good
when it comes to CPAP.
More so 4.5 out of five is really good.
Some of the negative feedback was relating
to irritation around the nostrils. That's pretty standard,
especially for people who are maybe trying
a nasal pillow mask for the first time.
Mostly, you be aware that you get a little bit of
nose irritation, but that does go away
if you wear it for a bit use. Let the nose heal
and then you can put it back in and more you go.
the skin around the nostrils will toughen up a bit.
Like most things with CPAP,
it's just about your body getting used to it.
You know, the foreign object essentially.
And then another negative feedback
was a little bit about the noise.
Same with the dreamwear, because there's,
this hollow tube here runs up the side of your ears,
some people talk about noise of the air
rushing past there a little bit.
It wasn't a big feedback,
but just a couple of people were mentioning that.
And one of the other things was
that it wasn't secure enough. I imagine some people
have been getting the wrong frame size.
Maybe they're getting the medium
when they should have been getting the small.
And so it's a bit too big and it's a bit loose in that way.
It's falling down a bit too much.
But there wasn't much negative.
A lot of the positives were around having that nice,
clear line of sight, like I said before.
So not so much here in front of your eyes,
everyone's loving the top head part.
Nice and easy to remove if you going to the bathroom
at night time as well, you can just clip that off,
go to the bathroom, leave your mask on
and come back, clip it on.
So people are loving the fact that
they're not getting tangled up in the tubing.
Like I said, I mentioned before
a lot of people talking about it,
it has a really nice seal and very quiet.
So they get very quiet
and not having that air rushing around.
So there's some of those positive things for you.
One more thing just before I go, mass parts.
So, one of the good things that I reckon about this
and it was the same with the dream wear
you're not going to be replacing a lot of parts,
like the P10, that elastic strap you're always replacing.
And it just becomes a very expensive exercise.
This here, I know with the dreamwear
you just don't have to replace this frame very much.
Although you're not gonna have to replace
the cushions at the front here.
Some with the P10 and the Swift fx
you don't have to replace them very often at all.
And the head gear, I can imagine you're gonna have to
adjust that very often.
So that means that the Velcro is going to stick very good.
It's not going to stretch too far.
It's nice and thick and supportive.
So I think this is going to be a really good mask
for not having to replace so many parts.
Which is gonna keep it relatively cheap for you.
And to keep it in shape before you,
I've got to put a link down in the description
where you can get it from,
if you chuck in my name in the checkout,
you're going to get it even cheaper than that.
So anyway, I'll leave it at that.
I hope you enjoyed the video.
I'm gonna do a follow up video on the N30i,
which is their nasal version of this mask
and is interchangeable.
The cushions are interchangeable with the N30i.
So there is a little tip for you and then the F30i as well.
And then I do know that they're bringing out a new mask,
the N30, which is going to be this with nasal
instead of the pillow. Alright.
Alright. I'm gonna leave it at that.
I've been especially at a few videos lately and I was spent.
So all the best it's time for some dinner have a good one,
all the best for your sleep apnoea.
Have a good night's sleep. Cheers. Bye.
