Re: Check-in appt, what to talk about?

Ehh, just noticed our little MacMini topped out at Yosemite (10.10.5), and Oscar appears to require Sierra (10.12). If anyone thinks it will run on Yosemite let me know. Until then I will plan on telling my doc I want more than that virtual pat on the head. Maybe he'll tell me to try another mask, a...

Re: Check-in appt, what to talk about?

Thanks for all the replies. Using the Resmed MyAir info: AHI per hour last thirty days: 5.3 Last ninety days: 5.23 Last 365 days: 3.96 Good? Bad? In the middle? My upcoming appt. will be virtual, that's one reason I am trying to get my ducks in a row beforehand. I do plan on e-mailing him a couple o...

Re: Check-in appt, what to talk about?

Thanks for your reply. In reply: 1) I have to look into Oscar. I had Sleepyhead years ago, but the [impressive] breadth and enormity of the data overwhelmed me :| 2) My sleep doc, he's OK. There is an advantage to only seeing him once every three years and only for 10 minutes, very low maintenance :o

Check-in appt, what to talk about?

Hi everyone long time no talk, hope all of you are well and safe. So I have a check-in appointment with my sleep doctor for the first time in three years as pretty much a formality. I assume he gets my stats via my insurance of maybe Resmed (?), hence he hasn't contacted me for these past three year...

Re: For Simplus/Vitera FFM users

Glad to hear you solved your issues by using the Amara. It has a lot going for it (you can wear glasses with it!), but my nostrils got way too irritated by all that air blowing directly into them. Oh well!

For Simplus/Vitera FFM users

Without getting into great deal, here is an excerpt of an e-mail I sent to Karen at Padacheek.com re the F&P Simplus and the newer Vitera: "I tried the Simplus liner with the Vitera mask and it does not work for me for this reason: I use double-stick tape to attach the velcro "arms" of the liner to ...

Re: Please recommend a hose cover for me!

Thank you Chunky and Jsmit for the kind responses. I should have also mentioned that I like a hose cover for the aesthetics, ha ha (nothing says sexy and sophisticated as a plastic alien face hugger with a dangling tail on you all night). I have been playing with the humidity level and will continue...

Please recommend a hose cover for me!

Hi everyone! I have tried a few different hose covers for my 6-foot heated Resmed hose, none of them seem to do a particularly great job of reducing rainout. To date I have purchased a Snugglehose, and one off of Amazon by "Endurimed". Also awhile ago I bought a hose cover with actual insulation fro...

Re: Question re Airsense 10 and tubing

Thank you too Palerider. You are right, I have been using the heated tubing until just recently, and of course the setting will not be available in that case.

Re: Preventing leaks into eyes

Padacheek mask liner for my Simplus mask pretty much eliminates all leakage into my eyes. Probably works well for other masks too!

Question re Airsense 10 and tubing

Hi everybody. Easy question of the day, I hope. My DME sent me a new tube the other day, only I forgot to tell them that I have been using the 15mm tubing and so they sent me the 19mm tubing. My bad. But, is there any sort of adjustment with my Airsense 10 (i.e. a setting change) that needs to be ma...

Re: Are there ANY Simplus FFM users out there?

Well, we'll see. Just very frustrating as I have tried most every FFM out there (including the crazy Flexifit HC432, now that is a contraption in a half) with less satisfying results. Might try the Sleepweaver Anew, maybe I will be one of the few people who can make that one work. And it's got free ...

Are there ANY Simplus FFM users out there?

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!!! I have in the past posted some questions about my Simplus Full Face mask with very little response, but I thought I would try again. This is an inquiry I sent directly to F&P customer service, wondering if anyone out there on cpaptalk.com has feedback, whether fr...
