Re: Thank You!!!

I am Kaiser of Southern California Todd I have no experience with Kaiser but my advice to you would be to try and obtain their policy on sleep apnea/sleep disorders.

Re: I saw the Air Mini this week and it looks amazing!

Re: Should I believe the new, good results?

Different manufacturers use different algorithms for reporting events. Resmed are very generous, they want to show you a smiley face every morning. Respironics and F&P report more events for me.

Re: Fine white powder in used machine

smoker trying to clean the machine, nothing rises from the water in the chamber to get into the machine, no matter how hard the water is.
