Re: OSCAR v1.2.0 is released 10/10/2020

Hi! I bought a new Airsense 10 this Spring. I needed proof that I was using my APAP. I went to pull the SD card, but there was none. I stuck the card from my old BPAP in the machine and it seemed to write to the card. I downloaded and installed OSCAR on Win 10, 64 bit. It only shows the OXIMETRY as ...

ResMed AirCurve 10 VAUTO...Are you using Insurance or paying out of pocket?
I was going to pay out of pocket, but CPAP.com won't sell me the machine with only a BiPap prescription, and I could not convince my new doctor to upgrade the prescriotion.

Replacement for S9 VPAP™ Auto BiLevel

I have a S9 VPAP™ Auto BiLevel Machine that is 7 or 8 years old and I am interested in finding a replacement. I originally chose a ResMed AirSense™ 10 AutoSet™ CPAP from CPAP.com. They told me that I could not get this machine because it is considered an APAP, and my prescription if for a BiPAP. My ...

Sore on my outer ear.

Hi! I've had a VPAP for 5 years, but in the last year I have had a periodic skin ulcer or sore spot on my outer ear that sometimes will bleed. It's just opposite of the ear canal.

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

I just had my 5th year follow-up with my sleep doctor. 0 events for the year. She says she's never seen that before, and I've done it twice! :)

Re: How many mask changes did you go through at first?

I was offered only one mask, but it seems to have worked for me. I did boy a different mask (ComfortGel Blue Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear) during one of our sponsor's sales, but I haven't tried it yet.

Re: Anxious about first night

Be patient and realistic. It takes a while (a week or so) to get used to wearing a mask to bed.

And do expect miracles overnight. Things will get better.
