Re: S9 hard to breathe out?
Verify that it actually is set identically to the others, including EPR. You can compare it's pressure to your other devices by building a simple manometer. Essentially, putting the end of the tube into a deep water bath, turning it on and then measureing how far the tube goes down before the air ...

Re: Central Apneas on Resmed Aircurve S11 VAuto

Re: How Long To Feel Better When Starting CPAP Therapy
... I had it tested and it showed pressure to be 8 at EPAP, but I don't 100% trust the person testing it as it took them a long time to figure out the manometer. I got this replacement S11 Aircurve. I see CAs on the S9 all of 2023. They were around 30 and increased to 60 over the course of one year, ...

Re: Highest total hours?
... sure it still works. (Same with Gramps.😉) Regarding the S7, if your data shows good therapy and you feel good, there is no need to check with a manometer.

Re: Highest total hours?
... *years* of 8hours/night use. Old friend indeed! My first AS10 is going on 23,000hours and on a new motor. Have you checked the calibrations? Manometer is easy to make. Run it until it quits! But have a spare handy.

Used Airsense 10 broke my heart

Re: 13 years on Cpap - weird machine issues
... pressure(s)? Do you use EPR/Flex/SoftPAP relief? There are significant differences between manufacturer's handling of these features. A home-made manometer is just a piece of clear tubing taped to a stick with some water in it... you can easily check your machine's calibrations over a range.

Re: Airsense 10 problem?
Maybe you could build yourself a DIY manometer and verify pressures when you start up the machine????
You can buy them but they are also easy to build. Somewhere on the forum a DIY manometer is explained but I don't have that link handy.

Re: 2 cpap machines
... as LSAT noted. When I first got the AS10 I was perceiving what seemed a difference in the pressure it delivered versus the DS2. I bought a digital manometer from Amazon and set about checking the pressures of each machine. The reads were performed at the end of the hose with the manometer probe ...

Re: 2 cpap machines
You can test your machines' pressures by creating a home-made manometer. You'll need: 1.) A 2 foot (65cm) stick 2.) A 4foot (1m) piece of clear tubing, 10mm OD (3/8") 3.) Some clear tape 4.) A measuring device (tape, ruler etc) 5.) Some water You can combine ...

Re: Resmed airsense 10 takes a break at end of breath
Thank you for your replies Pugsy and Respirator99! Very strange... I did buy a calibrated manometer (pressure sensor) - mostly to check if the motor was still working properly, as the DME would have done (they switched from patient care and device maintenance to remote ...
