These aren’t CA’s right?

I was just wondering why Oscar flagged these as CA’s to me they don’t look like them at all.

Re: Need sD card for ResMed 10 autoset

A good practice is to lock it before you put it in your PC/LAPTOP but remember to slide to unlock before replacing it in your ResMed. If you don’t the ResMed will tell you but if you don’t see the message on the screen it won’t record data.

Re: Now this is what I call a goodnights sleep.

Thanks for your replies. Last night was 2:41 at “0” with first toilet break & 7:18 at “0.9” I read you shouldn’t have anything to drink 90 minutes before bedtime so that you get the first good few hours of sleep. I usually just take a sip of water to moisten my mouth before sleep. ResMed MyAir App g...

I‘m still getting Ultra Low results after not using a nasal decongestant called Otrivine. Coincidence... I think not.

Re: Use of Otrivine... I stopped and AHI dropped.

The generic name is xylometazoline . It is sold world-wide under a number of names, but no products containing xylometazoline are currently sold or available in the United States. "Oxymetazoline and xylometazoline are fast-acting and potent topical decongestants that have similar decongestive effec...

Re: Use of Otrivine... I stopped and AHI dropped.

Hi CountingSheep , If you are using a full-face mask, I don't see why you can't just stop with the Otrivine. Now. Your nasal tissue may rebound – and then may recover, or partially recover. But there's no guarantee. The best thing you can do is: Stop. Completely. Right now. After that, you might fi...

Use of Otrivine... I stopped and AHI dropped.

I posted this comment somewhere else but was told to start a „New Topic“ so if this doesn’t satisfy everyone then I’m so sorry..... I got into the habit of using Otrivine every night before bed.... it just made breathing so much easier. Then I had a first aid lesson at work where the gentleman said ...

Re: The air filters do work!

I’d say most big cities over the world have sub standard air quality.... not just in Europe. I just changed mine after about 4 months and it didn’t look anything like that... plus I’d been to Australia with it too. Admittedly I don’t live in a big city.. thank god!

Re: Cheyne Stokes Respiration ...

Well it looks like I had quite a rotten night last night the second night at 9 with a ramp of 6-9 in 10 minutes. The last hour or so I was probably awake. No CSR event which was I suppose the only plus. I noticed that I had hardly any obstructive events only CA ... how do I get rid of these? 2EBD32E...

I wouldn’t leave anything to dry in the sun. The UV rays will eventually degrade everything.

Re: Getting droplets out of tubing after cleaning

Well I was very surprised that apparently most people don’t clean their tubes. I do once a week with a long brush and wire. I then use centrifugal force to removed most of the drops by spinning it around and around. If you do it early in the morning by night time most of the drops have gone. I have ...
