So it has been a couple weeks. I've tried different humidity settings, Climate line hose temp settings, still getting rainout (a lot) inside the mask with the "Zest Q" mask. I then tried the regular Zest (no diffuser) for a week, no more rainout. My hypothesis is that the diffuser pad in the exhalat...

I know some masks have a short hose, mine does not. Are you suggesting I add one? How does this help with condensation? Thank You

"Climate Control Auto" mode that is available when using ClimateLineAir tubing - its supposed to prevent rainout from happening. ... from happening in the hose. Thanks. I assumed the heated tubing would also warm the mask. I see a couple mentions of mask condensation here: https://www.cpap.com/prod...

Hmm. I wonder if this is the issue my S8 AutoSet II was having (I ended up replacing it). I unplugged it and packed it for a trip. When I arrived, I plugged it in - the start button was faintly lit green, light on humidifier turns on - no other signs of life. I spent a while searching online for inf...

I have an Airsense 10 Autoset and ClimateLineAir tubing. Last night I switched from the Fisher & Paykel Zest mask to the "Zest Q" - the Q model has a diffuser to limit the air blowing out the mask on my wife. In this regard it works very well - I can't feel any air coming out of the mask. That said,...

Just to add another data point - I received the SX556-0204 humidifier update over the air about a month ago, and I've not experienced the 'replace your tubing' error since. I've only had one ClimateLine hose the entire time.

Perhaps the tubing or humidifier tub need to be cleaned.

playing the didgeridoo allegedly helps: http://www.sleepapnea.org/treat/treatment-options/digeridoo.html tl;dr but "At the conclusion of the four months, the investigators found that the didgeridoo players' apnea-hypopnea index had dropped from an average of 21 to 11.6.

I don't think the Airsense 10 changes time zones based on the cellular network. I had mine setup at a DME located in Eastern Time.. I traveled with the machine almost immediately, I've been in Central Time for the past 10 days but the machine still shows Eastern Time. I know the cellular connection ...

When I started CPAP, it also had little effect despite being compliant and good AHI. Puzzled, I thought there might me multiple reasons I am tired. Turned out, some medication I was taking was making me drowsy. Stopping that medication had more of an effect on my wakefulness than CPAP did (I still u...

When I'm lugging a laptop and a roll-aboard on a business trip, the last thing I want is a third bag to deal with. I don't ever check bags on a business trip unless it's a gate check on a really small plane where it's returned to me as I'm getting off the plane. See, I like the three bags It is ann...

I just had the same experience while traveling to NYC. My Resmed S8 Autoset II wouldn't power on, I'd never had problems with it before. I couldn't sleep - kept waking up startled - it was annoying, first time in 4.5 years I'd been without CPAP. The fastest route to replacement for me was a Sleep do...

Thats a great idea! Thank you. I was trying to find what I could use as a travel case for my Airsense 10 since the Resmed bags are on the small side.

Davecpap: wondering why you got a 2nd one. I was travelling for business when my S8 Autoset II died in NYC. The fastest way to replacement was a doctor's office in NYC I found with the help of this board. It was the only place in all of Manhattan I could find selling CPAP machines. The office had a...
