Re: set time/date on Philips Respironics xPAP device

acbio.com (they repair cpap machines) might be able to do it. https://acbio.com/ You might contact them and ask if they do and ask about cost. Exactly which model???? Was it one of the recalled machines??? How bad is the time off???? OSCAR software allows for some adjustment with the time. Do you kn...

Re: Okay to use used Bipap machine?

I've read articles that seem a bit fear mongerish online about the risks of using a used machine (mold, germs, bacteria, viruses) but it's unclear to me how transmission would work if the tubing/parts are replaced. I want to be safe/thoughtful - anything else I should consider? You have done more t...

Re: OSCAR RESULTS AND INTERESTING APNEA

Ahhhh. I understand your desire to sort out your unwanted symptoms but putting awake breathing under the microscope is not going to give you the answers you want. Heck...I don't even know if your asleep breathing is the problem but I know that awake breathing isn't the problem. Not all our problems ...

Re: ResMed Filter Question

I don't see the ResMed Lumis 150 VPAP ST machine listed on any of the filters, is it able to use the filters meant for the ResMed S9 and Airsense 10 CPAP machines? Yes. If the Lumas has the body style of the S9 models or the AirSense 10 models then those filters will work I haven't seen an AirSense...

Re: OSCAR RESULTS AND INTERESTING APNEA

This is Cheyne Stokes Respiration periodic breathing. http://i.imgur.com/9bLIWwNl.jpg Not all Periodic Breathing qualifies for the CSR label. You don't have periodic breathing much less CSR. Your machine didn't even flag it as any sort of periodic breathing or it would have been in green. Why are yo...

Re: Tube holder and humidification

Where the hose/tube is located (hung up or draped across your body) does NOT make any difference in the amount of moisture the air is holding or giving.

Re: AirSense 11 AutoSet on sale today only.... $699 at cpap.com

Price shows as $1004.00 for me. Promo code hasn't been applied apparently. Since I stay logged in to that account I guess it automatically applies it to my cart. It shows 699 for me and shows promo applied. You may need to log in. I got the email announcing the sale but didn't see a promo code exce...

Re: Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum

I use FireFox.
I probably have seen that "try again" thing 3 dozen times today.....at least.
Friggin annoying.

I was wondering if it was just me or what. Guess it isn't just me but maybe not as widespread as I thought it might be.

Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum

So.....I am still repeatedly getting the connection failure for the forum saying something about "security lacking confirmation" ....I got a picture of it somewhere but can't find it right now. And I have to repeatedly keep "retrying" to connect and sometimes it works and sometimes it takes a half a...

Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating

I was told you were good at interpreting wave forms. Me as a person or the forum members in general? Rubicon is much better at this thing than I am. I just dabble in it and I only barely understand the basics. When I see something like your report my eyes glaze over. I don't normally evaluate flow ...

Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating

I’m 99% sure the “unclassified apneas” you’re noticing are just treatment-emergent central apneas, I don't know that I agree or disagree with your thoughts at this time. Some of that mess got flagged when you were obviously not asleep. Do we have any reports with either a much lower PS/EPR (as you ...

Re: F&P Vitera mask broke....

What size? I found a medium at Amazon for 67.99. It is offered without a cushion but not easy to find. https://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Kit-Without-Headgear/dp/B08HG3L746 Some other websites also offer it but the cost is $114 which I think is MSRP. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/fisher-paykel-viter...
