It would be great to get a broad view of Philips 'response in the CPAP recall process. So we can dig thru the data and make sense of it, please use a CSV format to log your data in 1 line, as follows: QUESTIONS: __which machine model did you had a claim on? __Model __was your actual own machine retu...

In the Dreamstation and the System One machines, is all the foam only in the main machine, or is there any at all in the humidifier? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'd like to be totally sure) Also, is the cancer risk worse when using the machine's humidifier, or only when the ambient air it...

I second guess myself wondering if I'd even be able to get the 11, because demand will be higher because of the Philips recall.

I'm pretty sure you're right...
my DME told me they are not giving out any more Respironics due to the recall

Back to original topic,... My DME says they receive the data my modem sends, and they keep it in case the insurance asks for compliance. I'd not want to send my data to any other entity (software servers etc.). I'm glad my machine has the modem option, so it can send on its own power, independently...

Every time I've tried nasal pillows masks, the part under the nostrils was hard, even when the pillow part that goes to the nostrils itself is soft. I found a solution in the Philips Respironics Wisp mask, it's a nasal mask but a cushion one, not a pillows one. Details here: https://www.usa.philips....

If Philips-Respironics expects to continue doing business in the health sector, they better do SOMETHING---FAST! Seriously, the first thing they should do is eliminate the PAYWALL DATA ENCRYPTION on the new models--which is driving business to their competitors. EDIT: AND FIX THE FOAM THINGY--ASAP!...

I let someone else use my old PR System One BiPap ASV machine, including changing its settings, while using my new Dreamstation, but now I'm concerned about removing all user data from the old machine. My DME is adamant that patients must not change their Rx by themselves, (threatening loss of insur...

There are lots of discussions in the archives about the subtle differences people experienced. One forum member compared the 2 brands as the Respironics being like a big old comfortable Cadillac and the ResMed being a high performance sports car. Unfortunately the bulk of those forum members are no...

You are asking questions that are impossible to give answers to.
You need to try both and make your own decisions.

I think that users can tell if their machine also makes a rhythm error, making the IPAP very short, when they yawn...

...ah, sigh, I don't have money to try both

All I know is that the Resmed ASV seems to be preferred by many based on the programming . Thanks for your post! Wow, that is indeed ***the most important issue*** for me, so I'd like to find out about the Resmed programming, and how it differs from the Respironics' ? Considering the price of these...

2__After the compliance period is completed, can the device used to transmit data be removed (modem, etc.) , and can this removal be done by the user? If you care to open ResMed machine (probably voiding the warranty), you can disconnect the modem. Disconnecting is sufficient and easier than removi...

Seems data transmission has changed on the new models as a DME told me that both machines now have Bluetooth and their data is captured via a phone app and then sent out. I feel Bluetooth is a porous networking technology so I hope it will be easy to disable it... ...ResMed tends to be a little more...

Needing to replace my old PR ASV machine soon, I'd like information to decide between the current Respironics and Resmed ASV models. Here are some questions I have regarding both of them: 1__ During the initial insurance compliance period, how is the compliance data forwarded to the insurance compan...

Is it possible to train ourselves to become side sleepers? I suppose anything is possible if a person tries hard enough and gets lucky [...] I tend to think some lifelong habits are darned near impossible to break. It may be difficult to sleep on the side without full support, and trying to keep at...

J was the one I used.
