Re: Run time Airsense 10 Autoset

Page 22 of the guide Pugsy linked to talks about the 'reprocessing' procedure for cleaning the machine for someone else to use. My 'new' machine had ~140 run hours and 0 usage hours on it... I was there when the DME unpacked it - it was a Resmed cardboard box, the machine wrapped in bubble wrap with...

Re: New larger AirSense bag! Has spot for mask

I personally am not a big fan of the AirSense 10 bag The bag that came with my S8 was amazing - to me the A10 bag is a step down. The S8 bag had tons of room - I would pack 2 masks, 2 tubes, extension cords, chin strap, PapCap - lots of room for spares in case something broke while traveling. Part o...

Re: New larger AirSense bag! Has spot for mask

I actually like the smaller case, and it just occurred to me that I could stuff my P10 into the tank cavity. It would be nice if there weren't separate bag compartments for the machine and the humidifier tank. I'd like to store the machine and humidifier tank assembled; that'd buy some more space i...

New larger AirSense bag! Has spot for mask

I got a 2nd Airsense 10 yesterday, and it came with a new larger bag! First machine I paid cash for as my old S8 Autoset II died while travelling, it was my only option for a quick replacement. Second one came from American HomePatient - insurance is covering this one. The one from American HomePati...

Re: Buy CPAP and get reimbursed?

Can't they look at your machine data to see you are using it?

I just got back from my first visit to American HomePatient. They were replacing my 4.5 ResMed AutoSet II that stopped working. I had a great experience with my local office - shame to hear about your experience.

Re: Using a Resmed S9 on an Airbus A380

I'd like to know more about the A380. What was that like? How do they load everyone onto it, are there multiple jetways? Is there a lounge or anything cool up in business class on Qantas to stretch your legs on such a long flight?

Re: Help selecting from four DMEs

Also, just FYI - AHP doesn't carry the ResMed S10 yet, and customer service had no idea when they would begin doing so. This was a concern of mine - my local office said they got their first units on Friday. I was wondering how hard it would be to get the dishwasher safe version of the water chambe...

Re: Help selecting from four DMEs

You can use the forum search function and do a search for "American home" and I think get some hits. I've been searching for a couple weeks now, and there doens't seem to be a standout favorite of large DMEs, but AHP does seem to be more positive than negative. The wildcard is SleepMed; most of the...

Re: Help selecting from four DMEs

I always bring spare mask, tubing, etc.. but recently I needed to replace my entire machine on a business trip because it had stopped powering on. That experience made me want to go with a large national supplier in the hopes I could walk in and get a loaner machine, replacement, etc.. My first choi...

Huh. I'm surprised part of that process includes pirating software. I would think if FAA wants copies they would come up with a legal way of generating them, like licensing ResScan.

Turn what into the FAA by the end of the week? Curious what Rescan and the Federal Aviation Administration have to do with one another.

Re: Newbie

The good news is you have a very nice machine that is fully data capable. The data is collected on an SD card in the back of the machine. I would suggest downloading a software package called sleepyhead that will let you looked at the data collected. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/ Once ...
