New machine (AirSense 10) → New leaks/High Than Normal AHI

Greetings, I have a bit of an enigma with which I could use some help. Last week, I upgraded from a ResMed S9 Autoset to a ResMed AirSense 10 (card-to-cloud). Since then, I've been having higher than normal AHI and leaks. My usual numbers are between 0.0 (when I'm lucky) and 0.5, with the odd bad cl...

Re: Choosing a new DME provider

Make sure you calculate your out-of-pocket costs using insurance vs. not using insurance. Know your deductibles and co-pays. Do you have to rent a new CPAP or can you buy it outright? If you have to rent, for how long? Does the deductible re-set during the rental period? While sometimes it seems li...

I went with Aeroflow and have been very pleased with their service so far!

Choosing a new DME provider

Greetings friends, I don't remember asking this before, and I haven't been on here in a while, so I apologize if this is a repeat. I'm looking for a new DME provider through my insurance, and my choices are: Aerocare Aeroflow Apria Edgepark Lincare/AHP (American Home Patient) Rotech US Med Anyone ha...

Re: Any reason I might want to upgrade to Autoset 11?

I've seen some info that the AS10 has some flaws in the algorithm, so I'm not sure it would do me any better to get that machine over the AS11, but I certainly don't want a machine with an inferior turbine. Citations needed. Would love to see a reliable source that there are flaws in the AS10 algor...

Re: Any reason I might want to upgrade to Autoset 11?

Still doing my research on a new machine. My S9 has served me well, but it does have 21K+ hours on it, and I am going to be doing some traveling. Don't want to be left in the lurch with a broken machine while away from home. Since the AS11 uses the same blower as the AS Mini, what does that mean? Is...

Re: Any reason I might want to upgrade to Autoset 11?

@DogSlobber posted a video link about the same motors used in both machines. Video ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbCRm8m_kGE&t=160s As to your point related to the question about the "Motor Life Exceeded" message...Nick also did a funny video about that, that is worth watch...if for nothing ...

Re: Any reason I might want to upgrade to Autoset 11?

One thing I find interesting is the AirSense 11 is using the same motor (internal turbine) as the AirMini! :shock: The AirMini motor is louder than the AirSense 10 motor so ResMed has to pack more sound abetment foam into the AirSense 11 case to quiet the motor noise! :roll: I'm not too keen on the...

Re: Any reason I might want to upgrade to Autoset 11?

Oh, man. I'm upgrading from my S9 Auto, which has worked so well for me for years, but I just got the "motor life exceeded" message and have 21903 hours on it I don't want to hijack this thread, but this brings up a question. When the "motor life exceeded" message comes up, is it really necessary t...

Re: Motor life exceeded on a RedMed S9 Auto - Time for something new?

I find it interesting that the AirSense 10 has a direct battery operation and an optional DC power cable, but the newer AirSense 11 doesn't. I think that is more because everything with the AirSense 11 is in short supply and not because they aren't going to offer a DC cable at some point later. I t...

Re: Motor life exceeded on a RedMed S9 Auto - Time for something new?

Either way should be fine. Especially because of your big deductible. Note: you may not get reimbursement or credit for the deductible. Ask first, so you won't be surprised. I'm planning to call my insurance company soon. I wouldn't expect to get the deductible back, so that's fine. I just want the...

Re: Motor life exceeded on a RedMed S9 Auto - Time for something new?

Get your doctor to write a prescription SPECIFYING the Airsense 11 Autoset. Then check with your network suppliers on who WILL provide this cpap--and when. Any suggestion of a substitution--head for the door. FYI: Apria and Lincare have earned many black marks here. Leave them for last, if at all. ...
