Sleepyhead. Would a battery backup UPS be sufficient to cover this type of situation? WTH??? In the bigger scheme of things, what is an occasional missed night of SH? Wouldn't a walk on the beach put you waaaay ahead? We get LOTS of power failures out here, long and short. The question was meant to...

sometimes sleepyhead still has problems with aborted, short sessions... you could zip up your card, and send a note to jedimark about it, he might want the data, to see if he can make the handling better. Unfortunately, I didn't have a spare card handy, so when my machine asked to reformat, I said ...

... Would a battery backup UPS be sufficient to cover this type of situation? If the outage was for only a short period, then one of the computer UPS systems would work just fine. I have one the is good for a couple of hours for my machine and prevents loss of data as well as loss of my breathing s...

I think there was a short power outage during the night last night, especially because I remember an incident when I could not take a breath (more than one). I thought it was part of a dream, but in retrospect think it was actually the CPAP shutting down during the power out that partially woke me. ...

Happy birthday, Pugsy!!! Same one as mine. Just one more reason to like you!

In fact, the trial found the risk of dying for those patients was 10 per cent per year, compared with 7.5 per cent for patients who did not receive the adaptive-servo ventilation treatment. Out of context, it really doesn't mean anything. These patient could have been in much worse shape than those...

Oh, and as far as HIPAA, I don't think that even if somebody here posted somebody else's data on the internet that it falls under HIPAA guidelines, since we are not Covered Entities. But then, I'm not a lawyer... or a doctor.

According to the site referenced: "This is because the title of "doctor" indicates that the person giving advice has gone through the rigorous process of medical school and succeeded in obtaining a medical license." Not true. The title of doctor is an academic conferring of a doctorate degree. It do...

Well, we'll take you perky or lumpy or however you are!

You must share the tats info!

The statute for this code is very sketchy and short. I'm sure there's more, but, honestly, I don't really have time to pursue it further. Hope this helps. Thanks, Irene. People often ask, "why is a prescription required for CPAP?" The answer seems to be buried deep within the rules and regulations ...

What would happen in court if someone wanted to prosecute a lay person for advising or selling an e.g. Class 2 device to another lay person who ended up getting sick as a result? Who would be at fault - the seller who may or may not have given cautionary advice to the buyer, or the buyer, who shoul...

Just for interest, I'm posting a link to the 510(k) clearance database. I pulled an old one for a full face mask by Respironics. It shows the summary section of the submission by Respironics, the letter granting clearance, and a short summary by the FDA. Note that at the very end there is a selectio...

I'm pulling this info from memory, from the days when I did 510(k) submissions to the FDA to obtain clearance for our devices, which were in a slightly different category because they were diagnostic devices. Class II device are really split into 2 classes, A and B. I don't remember which is which, ...
