Dimensions of each component, and all components together. Weights of each, (same as above). How long does it take battery to charge first time, and how long to recharge. If plugged into a car or vehicle, will it drain the battery and how long might it take to do that. Does the bag accomodate all co...

Call for questions
What is the maximum amount of water the chamber will hold on the humidifier ? Is there a power cord that will work on a plane that will attach to the passenger seat-like how you plug in a dvd or computer? What type of masks are compatible--nasal, full face, prongs, pillows, etc, and are there any pr...

Cpap without Prescription
Perhaps the physician that diagnosed the condition would write a prescription. Unfortunaley as Johnny indicated, machines cannot be dispensed without an RX, this is the FDA regulations distributors and DME companies must follow .

Humifier Additives
How lucky you 4 are. But consider this-air is blowing from your cpap thru the humidifier , thru your hose and mask to you-and when you exhale "stuff" does go back thru the mask, tubing , and back to the humidifier chamber. Do you really think distilled water takes care of any baceiria or germs you s...

Humidifier Additives
Come On folks-if you read the user manual that comes with cpaps and humdifiers, I don't think you will find anything about additives in the humidifier . If it was ok, the manufacturer would make mention of what is ok and what is not. So, never a good idea to add anything to humdifier, passover or he...

Trading/Selling cpap supply items
Saw a post about someone with a passover humidifier not needed any longer, and wanting to pass it on to a needy cpap 'er. Did this work? Did each of you receive the agreed to items for trade? Were your trades what was expected as far as newness, cleanliness, not damaged, etc? If I may be so bold, we...

From a ladies point of view, is there more than one color the headgear comes in? Something other than black or blue or grey would be more attractive to me-perhaps pink, yellow, pale green, lavender--or leopard!!!??? From a mans point of view, what about compatability with a moustache or beard and se...

New Mask
Is the headgear adjustable only at the sides, or at another part of the headgear? I too am looking for exhalation ports. Do the "cheek" pads adjust-possibly slide-to adjust to ones facial features? What parts will be available as replacements by themselves? What about working with auto adjusting cpa...

Full Face Mask Whistling
Try taking the elbow off the mask, and taking it apart. There is a thin membrane in the elbow. Wash the membrane very carefully with warm soapy water, rinse well and dry. Put the membrane and the elbow back together and back on the mask. This might solve the problem, and it can't hurt. There is a bo...

cracked mask
Where is the mask cracking? Have you spoken to the company that dispensed it? If it is a defect, the manufacturer will probably replace it to the DME that dispensed it to you, and then they can replace for you. Unless you are unusually hard on it, or if it is breaking while cleaning. Give your provi...

Traveling with Cpap
I too suggest the 420G with the new H20 Humidifier. The machine and humidifier are very small and travel friendly. Both the machine and humidifier plug into the wall, so again, take the wall adapters you would use with any electrical appliance. This is also a great back up machine. Cpaps will go on ...

Cpap Machines
In looking at your site, it is very lax in everything. Limited cpap, bipap and auto adjusting cpaps, and very, very limited accessories. Where are the filters and hoses and chinstraps?? There is no information about the owners of the company like names, no 800 phone number, or live people to talk to...

Giving Up
Hello;; If you are having trouble keeping a mask on, it may be due to claustrophobia. To try to deal with this, try putting the mask on, just the mask, while you are awake for 5 min. at a time. Take it off, and do the same thing several times during the evening before you go to bed. If you get used ...
