Re: 12VDC to 24VDC converter or a 12VDC to 120VAC inverter

Unless you're willing to get a TSW (True Sine Wave) inverter I'd go with the 12v to 24v converter.

Re: Power Supply recommendation for Travel Trailering

Unless you have a very small popup, your travel trailer will have a battery and most of them have room for a second battery. I'd suggest that you add the second battery and then install a 12V receptacle near the bed and use the 12volt cord on the PR Pro (460). A pair of group 24 or 27 deep cycle bat...

Re: cpap and camping....

In either the Heated humidifier with or without heated hose, if you set the dial to zero it turns off the heater plate and the hose (if you have the heated hose option). So if you set it to zero the humidifier isn't powered on at all.

I'm with Frog. My personal belongings are staying right with me! There's no way anyone is leaving the room with my phone, glasses and no way in H with my wallet!

Re: Resmed Autoset II Usage Limit?

It's really impossible to say when your machine will stop working. It could be the very next time you turn it on or it could be several years from now.
Those machines are designed to run 10,000 to 20,000 hours. However anything can fail at any time.

Re: New CPAPer - Here's My Data!

Your leaks are pretty good except for a couple of days. Your AHI isn't great and the problem is that you're having a lot of Clear Airway apneas. More pressure won't fix that. In fact I think I'd try lowering the pressure a cm for a few days and see what that does to the CA's. Also, with the 460 you ...

Re: Newbie - Help with Full Face Mask Please ---

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor and one of the most common side effects of ACE inhibitors is dry cough. If you cough when using one ACE inhibitor you'll cough when using another. There are several meds that replace ACE inhibitors that don't have that side effect. Check with your doc and see if you ca...

Re: Remstar Pro with C-Flex + Problem

That sounds like blower bearings going out. You have two machines doing the same thing? That's odd.

How old are the machines?

P.S. The thread title says that you have a Pro with C-Flex+ (450/460) but your sig shows an Auto (550)

Re: S9 VPAP Adapt SV 36007 FOR SALE - Gently Used

At almost 5,000 hours I wouldn't call that gently used. That's almost half the life of the unit.

Re: Getting Sleepyhead to work with CMS50e Pulse Oximeter

They changed the file format from the 50D+ to the 50E and SleepyHead won't read the new file format. I have a 50EW and am hoping that Mark et.al. will get the newest version coming out soon to read the new format.

Re: Anthem to Require Data Download

I think the issue is what "they" consider data and what we consider data are two different things. They consider the compliance data al the "data" they need. Whereas, "we" don't consider that data much at all. It sounds like what they (Anthem) wants is a printout of the compliance data instead of ju...

Re: Company A or Company B -- Please help

I think company "B" would be the one I'd go with.

There IS an S9 Auto that's not an AutoSet. It's the Escape Auto. My bet is that they might be trying to pass one of those off on you. It sounds like something Co "A" would do.

Thanks for sidetracking it a little! I like the looks of that. I may get the DW and myself a pair of those.

I use the Simplus now, but when I used the MQ I completely disassembled it, cushion and all.
