I've never attempted to sleep on a plane before, but I am taking a 7 hour redeye flight in a couple weeks. And then I'll be doing it again a couple weeks after that. I'll be seated in the aisle. Since no guarantee of an outlet, I have a Medistrom Lite 24V battery. I'll be using an Airsense 10 Autose...

I don't own a Dreamstation, but the Medistrom 12V version (make sure you get 12V) sounds like it fits the bill - its sold by cpap.com so you can clarify with their support team to confirm it works. I just ordered the 24V version for my Redmed unit and like it a lot - it also works as a battery backu...

Is the power cord plugged in all the way? Mine will light up and report on screen the power connector is not inserted all the way

I'm an 11 hater here... lots of different reasons... more keep popping up as time goes on. Love both my 10's, taken them apart, cleaned/repaired/rejuvenated my old one, served me a good 22,000 hours and now with a new motor it's good for another 22khours. Any good guides on this? ~10 years ago I ha...

I just replaced my AutoSet 10 from March 2015 with another AutoSet 10 yesterday. It took some time to find one, everyone wanted to give me an 11. Why did I want the 10? Mainly because I have DC-DC adapter for the 10 I use camping, and I have other travel batteries that would need adapters to use the...

DME dropped off a new CPAP machine, AirSense 10 AutoSet "Respond" model. I was surprised it came with no water chamber, they said insurance only covers water chamber every 6 months and since I received one a couple months ago, they couldn't give me one because they couldn't bill insurance for it :) ...

I confirmed via email with cpaphero that the Freedom V2 it is NOT a 24v regulated supply, so I went with the medistrom whose support team says it is. I'm guessing thats why medistrom sells separate 12V and 24V models. I'll check with my multimeter once I get it! The freedom v2 seems no different tha...

The Freedom V2 battery might not be a regulated 24V output either, which is the same issue as the TalentCell. Quote from manual: Battery Starts Then Stops Working If the battery starts powering your device and then shuts down, try to reset the internal circuitry (see page 5). If the battery continue...

Hmm, I wonder if Medistrom is still in business - I noticed their website disappeared: http://medistrom.com/ Freedom v2 seems made by an outfit "cpaphero": https://cpaphero.com/freedom-v2-battery/ EDIT : I was able to call Medistrom and get a hold of someone, seems their website is down as is their ...

Twice in the coming months I'll need to use CPAP on an international overnight flight, something I've never done before. I have an AirSense AutoSet 10. Both planes claim to have an outlet at the seat, but reading fine print it explicitly states on two different airlines that I need to use a battery ...

I just read this article on CNN about Philips' cpap recall settlement: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/08/business/philips-cpap-recall-settlement/index.html Is this quote about "at least" 385 deaths correct? This is shocking to me. I'm a ResMed user so I haven't been paying close attention. The FDA rece...

I have an Airfit N20 and would like to order a replacement "Mask Assembly Kit" but I'm not sure how to tell what size it is. I see no markings anywhere with a size. I do have a Medium size cushion - probably an indication everything is size medium, but I believe at one point DME tried a large "Mask ...

Details of what Mt. Siani is doing to use Tesla donation as ventilators: https://lnkd.in/ed9HqpK Article I found link in: https://cleantechnica.com/2020/04/03/mount-sinai-hospital-receives-ventilators-from-tesla/ Says it requires Resmed VPAP ST (or alternative bi-level machine). Interestingly, it ta...

The takeaway I got was that if the CPAP user is infected, the exhalation port on the CPAP mask is how viruses are spread throughout the household (return ducts, etc)... https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/27/822211604/cpap-machines-were-seen-as-ventilator-alternatives-but-could-spread-...

Doesn't use any CPAP parts, but an open source ventilator design:
