Re: Machine failures

Is the DME going to repair the unit? What cost? It may be less expensive to pick up a comparable unit from one of the members who sell such things from time to time. Check out Second Wind as a possible source. If they tell you it is not economically repairable, what does your insurance company say ...

Re: Machine failures

In a twist of irony, the machine completely failed on me last night. I am unable to get it up and running again. Since this one is a loaner from the supply company I hesitant to up it up and check the connection/screw. How often do the machines get replaced from the insurance companies. I am hoping ...

Re: Machine failures

I see most of those are ref the 550p I believe my unit is a 450. Would that still apply?

Machine failures

I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with ResMaster Pro+ Cpap. My original unit I had about 4 years about 4000 hours on the blower and it started giving me problems. When I would turn it on I would get 3 small puffs of air then the machine would reboot itself. It would do this 3 times then ...

Re: help translating readout from Encore2

BTW just looks at the blog, thanks for writing things like that up. As a new comer to this its definitely confusing all the terms and readings.. Its great to be able to have someplace to go to get an understanding of it. I am honestly not really feeling much of a difference yet. I know it takes some...

help translating readout from Encore2

So I looked at this weeks graphs from Encore on how my theropy is going. I am very new at this and first time really looking at this. I was hoping to get a better indication of what some of these readings mean. Are they good/Bad and any thing that I can do to improve on them. http://i56.tinypic.com/...

Re: Web service for viewing Respironics data

Wow its awesome to see how things are going threw the night... Ive only had my machine for about a 2 weeks now so pardon this very newbie question. What do all those abbreviation stand for? How does the machine determine the different faults in the sleep pattern?

Re: Question about REMstar Pro settings

I finally was able to find it... you need to highlight the setup menu, HOLD THE TURNWHEEL AND RAMP buttons for about 5-10 sec to get into the clinical menu to enable it.

Re: Question about REMstar Pro settings

First, make sure your machine is indeed a PRO and not a PLUS. The PR S1 PLUS only records compliance data. Second, if you do indeed have a PRO and can't find AHI under the Info menu, then it sounds as if the tech who set up the machine turned the Show AHI/Leak/PB setting to Off . You have to get in...
