Lifetime Nasal Mask Users

I started therapy about six weeks ago. I started with the Respironics FF Comfort Gel mask. The mask tore up my nose bridge. I used this mask on the advice of my DME. It made sense because I'm a mouth breather. It was also her opinion that a FFM delivers the best therapy because it mitigates pressure...

Re: Healthcare Reform What Would You Do

Good luck with your therapy.

Peace, Paul

Re: Pulled the Trigger on a New Machine

I was dx with severe OSA (AHI 75) last month. My DME gave me a System One two weeks ago. I'm getting great therapy. 8 solid hours of rest every night. AHI is less than three. I feel better than ever. No more naps after dinner and napping away my weekends. Many here are down on this machine because t...

In the mean time, a daily reset will get you some data off the LCD screen that can be plotted in a spread sheet.
How do I accomplish the daily reset? I'd like to view my previous nights data on the LCD.

Thanks,

Paul
