I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Interesting. Thanks.

I suspect that walking upright has something to do with it, too. Our airway makes a right angle bend that it doesn't make in four footed animals. Maybe if we could learn to sleep with our necks tilted way back, we wouldn't have apnea.

The only talking dog I've ever seen was a Chihuahua.
He could say, "Mama".
I wonder what a talking bulldog would say.
"Get me an inhaler!"

Maybe 'sleep study please'
