For better or worse, my judgement may be flawed. But, I am about to purchase what has been advertised as a NEW (clarified "ZERO" hours) Airsense 10 Autoset CPAP machine. The reason I went the Craigslist route was frustration with local DME, my high deductible insurance, and the ability to get it for half the price of even cpap.com.
I have a couple of questions, hopefully they can be answered before I make the purchase this evening:
1. I had a tritation study done, and the recommended pressure on the prescription was 8cm. This being an auto model, should I disable the auto feature and set it to straight 8cm (if that's even possible)? Or should I set it to a range like 4-8, or 6-10 or something?
2. How can I get the advanced data from this model to Sleepyhead so I can monitor my results more precisely?
3. Aside from verifying the hours are zero on the machine, and the assumed risk if something breaks, are there some other considerations I should make before pulling the trigger on buying this?

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset from Craigslist
Mike, be sure you're looking at total RUN hours and not Used hours. Used hours can be reset to zero but Run hours cannot.

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset from Craigslist
If you haven't seen the clinical manual you might want to take a look.
https://sleep.tnet.com/home/files/resme ... -guide.pdf
There are 2 modes available...fixed cpap or the auto adjusting apap mode and it's easy to change.
The data is stored on a little SD card and any SD card will work.
As long as your computer has a little SD slot in it that is all you will need to use the software.
If your computer doesn't have a slot then all you would need is a little reader/adapter so you could use one of your computer's USB ports. Any reader/adapter will work ...doesn't have to be name brand.

You can set the Autoset in CPAP mode or leave it in Auto with a close range. I would use the range and you could start with the 6-10 but may need to increase the minimum closer to 8.
2. How can I get the advanced data from this model to Sleepyhead so I can monitor my results more precisely?
You use the SD card and read it in a computer that has Sleepyhead on it.
3. Aside from verifying the hours are zero on the machine, and the assumed risk if something breaks, are there some other considerations I should make before pulling the trigger on buying this? Make sure there is no smoke smell if you are sensitive. Check Total Run hours.

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset from Craigslist
Everything worked out OK. I got a new Airsense 10 Autoset with an Airfit P10 nasal pillow mask, F&P Simplus full face mask, climateline tubing, and 6 replacement filters for $525.00. I am pretty happy with that. Everything was new, sealed in original packaging. I have used it the last 2 nights without any issue (with the equipment, anyway. I did have some issues with sleep last night, which I will post about shortly). Thanks everyone for the advice!
Re: Airsense 10 Autoset from Craigslist
Good deal! Hope it works for you.
