Re: Airplane battery: Freedom V2 vs Medistrom opinions?
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...

Re: Airplane battery: Freedom V2 vs Medistrom opinions?
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...

Re: Airplane battery: Freedom V2 vs Medistrom opinions?
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 ...

Airplane battery: Freedom V2 vs Medistrom opinions?
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 ...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
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...

What size is my Airfit N20 "Mask Assembly Kit" ?
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 ...

Re: Converting CPAPs into ventilators
Doesn't use any CPAP parts, but an open source ventilator design:

Re: Converting CPAPs into ventilators
Here is one such project to use a CPAP with additional hardware/sensors to make a DIY ventilator: https://github.com/jcl5m1/ventilator Saw it mentioned in this article: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dm4mb/people-are-trying-to-make-diy-ventilators-to-meet-coronavirus-demand I would say only fea...

Re: Got tinnitus from cpap? This will help.
Perhaps tinnitus related to Jaw or TMJ. When I started using CPAP I wasn't taking to it well, and I got a dental appliance that moved my bottom jaw forward to attempt to address sleep apnea. I noticed when using it, and can reproduce sitting here by jutting my bottom jaw forward, that it reduces my ...

Re: resmed airsense 10 "wifi" ???
My Airsense 10 Autoset has a CDMA modem inside, using Verizon Wireless network. They are shutting down their CDMA network end of 2019 so I expect many modems won't work in 2020 anyways: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-218813/ I'm guessing newer Airsense 10 units have an LTE mo...

Re: Can CPAP cause depression/anxiety?
I think this is true for many of us. It is for me. Every day I promise myself that I'm going to go "cold turkey", except it doesn't happen. I still look up medical conditions and always sorry that I did. I used parental controls on my WiFi router to break my facebook habit - I never go there now, d...

Re: Run time Airsense 10 Autoset
Hi, new on here and trying to reach davecpap as his early experiences with the cpap were very similar to what I am experiencing now. Thanks! I pretty quickly decided I didn't care about ~140 run hours on the machine. I was grateful I was able to find a CPAP machine while traveling, and the Airsense...
