Intuitive Software

Boy, they sure did make finding the Compliance versus Full Detail an intuitive feature in the software. I never would have found it unless I read it in this forum and I've been in IT for over 20 years. Whoever designed that wanted to hide it. As for the card reader, I too had to go to the 2Factors w...

Mantyhose Fix

LI, You meant to say Mantyhose... Correct? In all truth, I have struggled with my love/hate relationship with the Aura for the past 4 months. I bend the wires at night until the airflow stops. I adjust it every which way all night long. Some nights it fits great, and I have no leaks, other nights it...

Is this a great site or what!!! I just downloaded and installed the software. It is working fine. Took about 4 minutes on my cable/broadband connection through a 2.4 GHz wireless router. I was looking into buying the sofware and now Santa has arrived early. Now my question is: Can I buy a standard U...

Yardbird, The report I received was 8 pages. My advice, pay the 75 cents per page and request the "full" sleep study report. It has valuable information and you will most likely need it in the future if you have a new doctor, your DME/Health insurer may require a copy of it for medical equipment pre...

Goldpawn, You'll be fine. Don't base too much on this first night. It will take some time to adjust to this new experience. I agree with Martini Lover. The mask is key. You are lucky to have such a low pressure as this may minimize any mask leaks and help you tolerate the pressure while learning to ...

Advice for Your Friend

I'll try to help. Tell your friend that others have waited for years after their sleep study and diagnosis of OSA before going on CPAP, so his hesitation is natural. Tell your friend that the time in the beginning is the worst and that things will get better. I've struggled (as it appears that all o...

All of you crack me up. I didn't realize that I'd get this much enjoyment and entertainment from an "educational" site. Keep up the humor! AS for the Aura, I too love it and hate it. It is the best as far as headgear and comfort, but I also have consistent leaks with the wire nose piece. I've bent t...

Airlines and CPAP

Just flew to Hawaii with my CPAP. Carried it on for all 3 outbound flights on Delta and Hawaiian. TSA made me open it up and looked at it. No issues. Placed it in my checked bag on the return flights in it's carrying case. No issues other than my luggage bag was searched. It is correct that the CPAP...

Got my Auto today

Thanks to all you replied. Got the Remstar Auto with Cflex today and heated humidifier. Was also was talked into a Comfortlite by my DME. I was going to try out a Swift, but the Comfortlite looked so much like my Aura I could not resist. I am hoping that it's design is an improvement. What is the di...
