Re: SoClean

The SoClean is an ozone generator - it circulates ozone (which has a very distinctive smell) through the mask and hose. Please read what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has to say about the health effects of ozone as linked below. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=105364&p=111249...

Re: Help me buy a Winx?

$61/month (14.99% APR Interest) and it doesn't say for how long. Not covered by insurance or Medicare, meaning it doesn't have proven results yet. California only, which means it's probably a clinical trial. I don't see where anyone could "buy" one - looks like a rental to me. I think you're going t...

Re: hard to breathe. is this a mental thing?

I made the ramp so long, keeping the pressure low for so long, because I didn't like the feeling when the pressure goes up and you get those various ripples and puffs out the mouth , etc. " Out of the mouth"? There should not be air coming out of your mouth. If you are mouth breathing with an AirFi...

Re: 10 years...upgrade time?

I'm not necessarily a mouth breather but all bets are off once the sandman gets here. I think if I were to opt for a more affordable machine like a System One series 60 rather than the AirSense 10 I could handle acquiring a few different masks to try out. I haven't done much research on nasal masks...

Re: Really high AHIs, but feel pretty good. WTH??

As everyone else has said, you have to get all that leaking under control before you can even see what is really happening. If you don't already have a hose hanger, you should get one. This one from amazon only costs $11: https://www.amazon.com/North-American-Healthcare-JB5651-Holder/dp/B0034CHMRU/ ...

Re: Airfit P10 - I want to like it but ...

The AirFit P10 is fine with those pressures. I have my minimum pressure set to 13 and I have seen the maximum hit 18 or 19, so the mask can definitely handle it.

But you didn't get the same conducted noise with other masks? Were they nasal or full face masks?

Re: New to Board - Positive Experience

Yes, when the cpap companies release a new model it's great to be able to pick up new units of the previous model at heavily discounted prices. It's really the only way for the dealers to get rid of them as everyone is looking for the latest and greatest. And the changes from one year's model to ano...

Re: No SD Card in AirSense 10

I went through everything sent to me and even looked again in the machine. Definitely no SD card anywhere. Don't really care though. I'll just go pick one up this weekend. Would a SanDisk - 8GB SDHC Memory Card - Blue for $9.99 at BestBuy do? Nuff storage? Thanks! BestBuy has an 8 GB Kingston for $...

Re: C-Pap Easy Clean? UVC - (not Soclean ozone method)

Most of us just don't see the need for such a device or lots of cleaning. All that passes through the cpap machine and equipment is the very same air in the room that you and everyone breathes without issues all day long. The air passes through a filter as it enters the machine. There is no way for ...

Re: Airfit P10 - I want to like it but ...

Like Pugsy, I find the AirFit P10 to be close to silent. I sometimes need to check if the cpap is on or not by putting my fingers against the vent holes. But we are all different with different sensitivities and different abilities to hear sounds in certain frequency ranges. Pugsy's advice is great ...

Re: Is no sleep better?

When you have sleep apnea, you need to use cpap whenever you sleep. When you nap without it, you're not getting getting much actual sleep anyway. Some people have a second or portable cpap machine if they need to sleep in more than one place often. It's good to have a backup machine anyway because t...

Re: DMEs and Prior Authorizations

I agree that the key is to get the doctor to give you a new prescription for a specific machine like Resmed AirSense 10 Autoset. Explain that you want to be very involved in your therapy and closely monitor your progress using the recorded data. The insurance will pay the DME the same amount no matt...

Re: No SD Card in AirSense 10

Yes, any SD card that is the right physical size will work. You don't need anything fancy, or huge, or fast so no need to waste money on a more expensive high-end SD card. They are available anywhere - walmart, bestbuy, amazon, etc. The compliance data is sent wirelessly using the 3G phone network a...
