Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE....trade for small FXs?

Looking for size SMALL new FX pillows! (from smoke-free home)

Could anyone use XS, SM, or MD LT pillows in trade?
(May also have a couple of Medium FX pillows to trade. Waiting to hear back from someone else.)

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

am under the rather hazy understanding that I will be recieveing pillows in packages of three different sizes each month. is this correct? If you mean thru insurance, the FX kit comes with 3-4 sizes but you can order just the size you need. You might be able to get 1-2 pillows/month, or a certain a...

Re: VPAP Auto vs. Autoset

I think I figured it out: VPAP is adjusted for both IPAP and EPAP while the auto CPAPs adjust the constant pressure (minus 1-3 on exhalation relief). Any way to guess whether I'd sleep better with a wider than 3 gap between IPAP/EPAP? I've never tried exhalation relief and my pressure is low, but I'...

VPAP Auto vs. Autoset

Is the VAuto mode on the Resmed VPAP Auto the same as regular auto CPAP mode in the S8 and S9? Wondering cuz I might be able to get a great deal on a VPAP Auto. Should I go for it?? (Would I likely never need to use the S mode bi-level with pressures below 13 and mostly hypopneas?) For that matter, ...

Re: S9 versus Intellipap>> opinions

engrdad, Glad you asked your question! I'm in the same position of figuring out which to get and having met my deductible this year. Also looking at Intellipap Auto vs. S9 (or even S8) autoset. I hope you don't mind me tagging onto your thread with a couple questions. brain_cloud: I heard the Rescan...

Re: CPAP user - need help evaluating switch to APAP

Thank you for detailing what is viewable on the S8 Autoset II! I could only find info that said AHI, pressure, leak but not AI, HI. I think that might be enough for me. I could just log the info in a notebook. Does it come with the data card, if I want to take data to my doc? My DME will also print ...

Re: CPAP user - need help evaluating switch to APAP

BusyLyn, Yes I wonder about those upgrade fees too! They say it's because the APAPs and better CPAPs cost more, but since the code is the same they don't get any better reimbursement. But if the DME does get $1000 from my insurance and charges me $300, they get more than their cost and more than the...
