Re: Auto off

The tech who demonstrated the machine to me didn't tell me that. He told me it was to take off the mask.

Hahaha.

Auto off

Medicare finally approved a replacement for my 5 year-old Dreamstation that had been recalled. This time I got a RedMed auto bipap. I forget its fancy name. It has a feature called Auto Off. I can pull my mask off my head and it sends a whoosh of air for 15-20 seconds, then almost stops. It continue...

return old dreamstation 2

So I finally received my re-certified bipap machine for the recalled one. They want the old one sent back. Doesn't it have private info in its memory? If so, how do I clear that off the machine? Does it matter? I did remove the memory card. Were they supposed to send new humidifier too? They didn't....

Re: replacement cpap

Thanks! watched the video, and the machine has zero machine hours. I hope they could not change that feature. (I have the password saved so I don''t have to remember it.) I also keep a list. The DME said they will replace the more complicated machines first, like my husband's ASV. Eventually I suppo...

Re: replacement cpap

Thanks, Zonker.
I don't know how to do that.
Remember, I am 81 years old and have forgotten most of what I ever knew!

I had mine in 2009. No sign of return. Best wishes to you for similar successful treatment.

Re: Dreamstation filters reusability?

You can buy brand new ones for about $5.00. Then you know you have a clean one if you need it. I would change it often and not worry. Hard to clean it anyway. Why take a chance?

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?

I had the Pfizer vaccine. I have a long history of fever blisters. I get them at times of stress, illness, injury, and even from the sun. Never had them from flu shot or other vaccines.

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?

I had the second shot Sunday and now have fever blisters on my mouth. Do you think that could be a side effect of the vaccine?

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 Vaccine or have an appt?

Husband and I will have second Pfizer vaccine this coming weekend. He has a Friday appointment, and I have Sunday. I staggered the dates so that if we had bad reactions we would not both be sick at the same time. We had no significant problems with first shot. He is 76 and I am 79. Hoping for the be...

Re: OT - Why I luv my cat (blk Bombay)

Before I started cpap (14 years ago) the cat we loved then would wake me up several times at night by scratching my mouth. Very annoying. Once I started cpap he quit doing that. I assumed he didn't like the gasping sounds I made during apneas. He did the best he could to help me.
