new CPAP rumors

[Guest]

I'd like to start a thread and see as of the end of 2015, what rumors are floating around out there on the internet about any new CPAP machines on the horizon. Please let us know and be sure and send us the URL to any of the rumored sites.

Just received email from ResMed announcing machine called NIV which is supposed to be for COPD.

But this is a Cpap forum for OSA, not COPD...

I heard about a pill you take before bed...opens your airway and makes you sleep for 8 hours...NOT...

Is there a picture of the new machine on the email? Do you have a link?

Would this help?

All machines sold in 2016, will have alarm clocks built, because waking up is so much more important that good treatment. Jim

Well, waking up IS better than the alternative . . .

Just received email from ResMed announcing machine called NIV which is supposed to be for COPD.

NIV is "Non Invasive Ventilation," which is a term similar to "CPAP, bilevel, BiPAP, ASV, etc." It's not equivalent to something like AirSense or DreamStation. ResMed has 11 or so machines that are considered NIV.

However, I'd be interesting in seeing what the e-mail said, if you will copy and paste it here.

Philips Respironics has new models called DreamStation. There is also a new Dorma series that I don't have a lot of information on. Dorma seems to be very reduced function and seems to be mostly used outside the US. I'm not sure where Dorma fits in the scheme of things.

ResMed has their fairly new AirSense 10 and AirCurve10 machines.

I doubt PR or Resmed will have any other major new announcements in the CPAP arena any time soon.

Why do we have to do your work for you? There are many "trade" websites which discuss and review these things.
If you're so interested, how about YOU posting what YOU'VE found.
