Re: REMStar 560 vs Dreamstation 1

AHI last night was 1.40. The grey bar is where I got up for a pee.

REMStar 560 vs Dreamstation 1

Did anyone move from the 560 to the DS1 and notice ANY differences with how it was used and how you felt in the mornings ? I used my new DS1 for the first time that replaced my 560 and I feel a bit dizzy today and heavy on the chest when breathing, however this could be coincidence and unrelated as ...

Re: Received my PR DreamStation replacement today

How did you manage to get a replacement while still having the replaced ? I got my replacement today but I had to put my old one in the box with the courier.

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

Hey Rick. Thanks for all that info, really interesting. Knowing about an auto CPAP before the sleep staff even did is impressive, guess they might have thought it would put them out of a job. It is strange that this was 2010, as that seems so recent, but going from what you said also seems so far aw...

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

Hi Rick. I heard back. They said " Thank you for registering your device. Please can I ask you to confirm your device serial number and also fill in the form attached, once this is done I can then arrange to swap over your machine for a brand new Dreamstation CPAP 1 device. We can get your device sw...

How worried should we (Respironics users) be about the toxic foam issue ?

I realise this is a very old topic now and everyone has probably already exchanged, but I only just knew about it thanks to a forum member here. I assumed years ago it only effected Dreamstations so because I didn't have one I didn't pay it much attention, but I typed my serial number in of my 560p ...

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

Thanks Rick. How did you manage to get both done, did you just fill in the recall form twice or did you contact them via phone ? Also do they want the humidifier and power cables back ?

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

Damn, I had no idea the 560p was recalled, I got it second hand many years ago. I thought it was just the Dreamstations at fault. My first 560p had an annoying whistling noise so I got a replacement, so I actually have 2 of them still. I wonder if they will exchange both of my machines. I actually j...

RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

I saw a Philips S/T C Auto-BiPAP being sold for a very decent price. Right now I use the 560p APAP one. Is a BiPAP a bonus to have as a back-up machine or would it be completely different ? I take it you can't just change it to standard APAP ? What are the advantages and disadvantages ?

Any reason Airsense 10 is waking me more than 560p

I have used a 560p RemStar Respironics unit for many years now, always great. I bought a pre-owned Airsense 10 last week as I liked the look of it and it seemed more modern, but I have found I keep getting woken up a couple of times a night by air blasting out of the mask around my nose, or sometime...

Testosterone therapy and CPAP

Does anyone here take (or know someone who does) testosterone therapy and is also on CPAP ? I just had a blood test and shows I have low testosterone, probably due to my obesity. I am seeing my doctor soon about the results and to ask if they can put me on testosterone replacement therapy. Supposedl...

Okay to wear earplugs/ear defenders with nasal pillows ?

This might sound odd, but I sometimes recently wear ear defenders or ear plugs to bed as I sleep in the day quite often so it blocks out noise, this is with CPAP at around a 16 pressure level. Will this cause a negative effect on my ears given they block them with air going up my nose ? Or will it m...

Worried about my dads recent death and apnea

Yesterday morning my dad sadly passed away. He had heart disease and lung and brain cancer and was given just weeks to live last month. Just over a year ago, before we knew about the cancer, he had a sleep test and was found to have severe sleep apnea, the NHS in the UK put him on a 110 week waiting...
