Accurate BioMed Services -Kudos

Post by JDS74 » Mon Sep 16, 2013 8:46 am

I sent my backup machine to Accurate BioMed Services last week for firmware upgrade. It arrived at their facility Friday afternoon and is shipping back to me today. The firmware they installed seems to be Ver 2.53 but I'll check when it gets here. Mine was a very early model Respironics 750P auto BiPap.

That is remarkable turnaround time and great service.

Edit: I used ground shipping so it took three days to get to them.
The contact there is Dennis Thorne.

I found out about them on this board - thanks everybody.

Hi JDS74,

That's great turn-around service!

I hope you'll tell us when you get the chance to unbox it and try it.

Those of us wanting to keep back-up machines "off the books" (because of Medicare)
may want to remember/bookmark these guys.

Just got my machine back.

The firmware version is 2.55 and not 2.53 as I reported earlier. I assume that that is the lastest there will ever by for the Respironics 750P auto BiPap machine.

They included to test calibration results and my pressures are:

Test Criteria Test Result
4 cm H2O 4.01 CM H2O
16 CM H2O 16.07 CM H2O
25 CM H2O 25.11 CM H20

Right on the money and well within the error permissible with Respironics equipment.
My DME wanted me to bring in the machine once a year for checking on the pressure before I fired them. Of course there would have been a charge so the fee for the upgrade most likely would cover three annual visits.
They received the machine on Friday the 13th at 1:45 PM and the testing and firmware upgrade was finished at 4:43 PM.

Nothing but the best praises for them.

If you have problems with your machine, these are the folks to get it fixed
