I just got mine this week as well. If you got the humidifier, I'd suggest leaving the cliamte control on auto and see how that works for you. I set my EPR full time and in the middle (2). Seems to be working out fine. You shouldn't need to do anything to the data card.

cool. thanks

First time using ResScan. Anything I need to know so I don't erase anything off the card? It has to be read by my DME for insurance purposes and I want to make sure I don't inadvertantly erase anything.

thanks

In terms of sending them the data, why not just get another SD card and mail them one and swap cards until the next time you need to send them a card. I could do that, but they're so close to home and I drive right by them probably once a week anyways, it would probably take less time to walk in wi...

I wonder why the DME wants your data when they know you can download them yourself? Personally, I wouldn't give em' squat... but that's just me. Glad to see you have found a good DME. Good ones are hard to come by. Sheriff They need the compliance data for the insurance company. I even saw what the...

This was DME #2 (NOT ApneaCare) and not tied to Dr's office. A pleasure to work with, truly. Wish I'd found them 12 years ago.

After a little hiccup at first, I have my S9 AutoSet, H5i humidifier, climate line hose. 100% covered. No out-of-pocket (ie, no "upgrade charge") Because the DME originally had an Escape Auto for me.... and I really do believe it was an internal miscommunication at the DME ... they upgraded my humid...

Ok I have a little different question about the S9 and the SD card. I'm about to get an S9 autoset. The DME is going to want me to bring him the card after a month or a week or whatever he said. Regardless.... If I just stick another SD card in when I take the original one out, will the machine writ...

yeah, I was in an office talking to an RT from the DME and I looked at the machine and it said "Escape Auto" on it. So I asked, "Will you be setting this up for me initially?" and he said that of course he would set it up. So he set my pressure range according to the prescription. I said, "Can you s...

Update: The DME called today to say insurance had authorized the new CPAP machine and they have it in stock. I went there and..... turns out they had an ESCAPE AUTO and not the S9 AUTOSET per the prescription. They didn't try to snow me. Just admitted a miscommunication among their staff. They're or...

Can't say I'm surprised. Used to be that doctors would order lots of unnecessary tests and probably did the same with equipment. I have a real problem with insurance companies dictating my health care, but...... it costs both the insurance company and the patients if they don't have some kind of pol...

DME called back. My insurance apparently won't replace a machine unless it's not working. The only machine I ever got on insurance was my first one. A Solo LX I received in Feb. , 2000. I had to call the doctor's office and ask if they could right a script that says replacement CPAP as current machi...

Be VERY mindful of what kind of cleaning agent you use. Most soaps contain sudsing agents, perfumes, stearates (to make your skin feel soft), etc. The residues left behind are difficult to remove as they are waxy or oily. The waxes and oils actually provide the medium for mold growth. Want to get gr...

Hey, there ARE good local DME providers out there (especially when they are aware you walked away from another DME provider) just as you've found there are good sleep doctors out there. I had heard stories that there were good ones. I thought they were just fairy tales. I like my sleep doc, but he ...

Congrats! It's pretty awesome to have a good time on vacation, huh? I've taken my machine through airports all over the place. I get the feeling they've seen the machines a lot as nobody really made anything special about it. They look at it, swab it, and away we go. Only one time did I have to remi...
