Mouth guard and CPAP usage.
I’d be interested in knowing of possible solutions for a person who can benefit from using a mouth guard at night, on the recommendation of their dentist, for grinding and clenching, while also benefiting from the use of a CPAP machine. The priority piece of medical equipment is the CPAP, although I...

Disposing of never used masks/headgear. Where?
I have some never used masks and headgear that I need to dispose of and the Goodwill is likely not the best place to drop it off at. Any suggestions?

CPAP machines used by hospitals for in-patient procedures.
In this COVID era, many hospitals won’t allow patients to use their own machine. What is an AirCurve10 equivalent in a hospital setting?

Re: Manufacture date of a CPAP machine?
Excellent! Thank you. 2320 here. Also, it states on the machine that it was made in Singapore.

Manufacture date of a CPAP machine?
Is there a way to learn what the manufacture date of a CPAP machine is from all of the numbers printed on the machine? For some reason, ResMed won't provide me with that information and directed me to make the inquiry with the distributor. Thanks.

Re: Air Curve 10; Medistrom portable battery. Getting a longer life from the battery.
Thank you for the replies. I'll check now with the manufacturer of the portable battery. Even though the charging indicator on the battery showed four bars, which means it was fully charged, perhaps it was giving a false reading.

I'm using a Medistrom Pilot-24 Plus portable battery with my Air Curve 10. In order to ensure the battery is going to work for a fu...
