Re: Sleepyhead install

Did you extract all the files in the zip download to some place where you could find it?

Re: Airfit F10 Review

The three lines shown on that graphic are median, 95% & max leak rate.
Your leak rates look pretty good.

Re: Two very different batteries

The top one lists 6.75 amp hours and the bottom one lists 7.8 amp hours. I'd have to say that the bottom one will come no where close to running your CPAP 24 hours.

Re: Another follow appt and some questions

If your top pressure was 12 cmH2O and the machine is running up there and staying there most of the night, AND you're having few to no centrals, then I'd say setting it for auto-titrating 10 to 14 would be a good start.

Re: Suggestions for a dry nose

It's water based and as long as it's not one of the "Enhanced" versions, it will be fine. It's latex friendly so it won't hurt the mask or other things.

Re: Battery power packs for camping

Have you looked at the data from the machine to see if any event(s) correlated with the shutoff? Such as a sudden large leak.

Re: ResMed ASV Auto 36037 Settings.

I can't believe you're not getting any responses on this. I guess there are not a lot of people familiar with the 36037.

Maybe someone will come along soon.

Re: PR 460, machine hours higher than blower hours.

Your logic is good, and I'd definitely approach the DME about it. If you spent 8 hours a day using the machine for 120 days would only rack up 960 hours. In order to use 1618 hours you'd have had to run the machine 13.5 hours per day for 120 days. If you figured 8 hours a day you'd have had to run i...

Re: Quck question about my S9 SD card

You're right, they only need the SD card.
No use subjecting your machine to possible damage when it's not necessary.

Re: Help with math for battery and solar panels

I am trying to figure out two things 1. How long will my machine run off a 35 amp hour battery 2 how long will a 35 amp hour battery take to charge using a 45 watt solar panel. 1. As Jay said. Simplistically your machine draws 5 amp/hours for every hour it runs, so it will run 7 hours (5AH x 7RH (r...

Re: Sizing for the Simplus Mask

I use a medium in the MQ and the FX and I'm a medium in the Simplus The DW is a small in the MQ as well as the Simplus, so I'd venture that the Simplus is sized the same as the MQ & FX.

Re: How many truck drivers/travelers on here ??

I drive a truck, but I'm not a truck driver! (real trucks don't have spark plugs) IMO, The Respironics machines are easier to use in a vehicle or RV as they natively run on 12 volts. I'd recommend the DS560TS. And make sure you get the side plate to cover the open side when the humidifier is removed...

Re: I need adive buying a battery

Your math is correct if the battery put out 115 volts. In order to get the amp draw at 12 volts you need to replace the 115 volts in your equation with 12 volts. Then multiply that by number of sleep hours. Then you need to add some excess to account for losses, etc..

Re: F&P Simplus is vibrates and wakes me!!!

I have to tighten the straps a little more when it starts fluttering. It also helps to clean your face and the mask with a wipe just before you put it on.
