I have THREE Contect CMS-50E pulse oximeters, the third one being wireless (CMS-50EW) and the software that goes with them. They have all served me very well and actually continue to do so excepting that the displays have gone dark and almost unreadable even in a darkened room. I believe I need to r...

I have a very old CPAP Wow, I would put the oximeter money toward a new CPAP machine. Oximeters are a poor tool for managing CPAP therapy. It's much better to have a data-capable machine and use SleepyHead to manage your therapy. You might be able to significantly fine tune and improve your therapy...

Ditto. Hugs Dori. Anyone have news?

We could call and ask and am sure they would oblige except with our Privacy Act we would have to visit each facility that took pictures and go there to sign papers and present ID. Then there are 5 CD's and they are going to charge us $30 per CD. And then there's the driving around and lastly the cou...

First, what type of OS are you using (e.g: WindowsX, AppleSomething,Linux)? Secondly, a screen capture of the CD's directory needs to be posted so responders can see what type of files we're dealing with. I await your reply. Sorry. DOH. Good point. We are a bit dazed here as this is a MAJOR problem...

Had a 'catastrophic accident' in May and it has resulted in a new round of doctors and visits and opinions. I have been referred to a new consulting physician and he wants copies of my MRIs/CT scans/etc. I try to make sure that I get a copy of each and every one for my own file (a very good policy i...

Strongly suggest giving it away to someone who truly needs one and cannot afford one. It can be the difference between life and death believe it or not. There are white papers out there that like OSA to a variety of other afflictions, not the least of which are stroke, depression, etc. Keep one for ...

Palerider: For my part, I would be grateful if you would just point me at the information you want me to see and explain what I need to know. I promise profoundly that I will read it thoroughly and try to digest it, but you have to give me a hint of what you are trying to tell me or what this materi...

I have seen discussions regarding the resetting of both 'used hours' and 'motor/total hours' being reset and have never seen an answer to resetting total hours on the motor. The resetting of 'used hours' is fairly straightforward and generally part of the clinician menu. While one can view the other...

The Clinician Manual that I have is AutoSet™ & Elite™ POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE DEVICES H5i™ HEATED HUMIDIFIER Clinical Guide English Page 31 refers to S9 Cautions; H5i Warnings and Air Tubing Warnings. Is this the page you are referring to? This being the page, we are cautioned against playing with ...

Used the sizing guide and still came out wrong. Tried a LARGE we had on hand and it was obviously too large but not by much. The sizing guide suggested MEDIUM as most appropriate so we tried that out and had intermittend leakage and no solid seal. Went to SMALL and it was just like the three little ...

Umm... he did apologize... he apologized for "offending", but did not, as far as I could tell, even acknowledge that his long winded rants about leak rates were ignorant, wrong and misleading, and the kind of thing that would confuse people. as witnessed by the person he responded to saying that th...

leak rate had a spike up to 42 for ~1/2 hour then around 15'ish the remainder. Fairly typical for a PR System One machine at your pressure. Large leak territory is up around 70 to 80 L/min with your mask at your pressure. Leaks aren't an issue unless they are waking you up a lot. With all due respe...

No intention to slight ANYONE and if my hasty remarks were taken as such I apologize. My point was simply that regardless of blower, regardless of mask, there is a "baseline" from which we must work. The baseline for 'leaks' takes into consideration the vent flow rate based on pressure presented to ...
