The more I read and get suggestions (thank you) the more I feel I am just another revenue stream for the doctor. How does one go about finding a quality doctor for this type of therapy (it is obvious my PCP is clueless too)? First- Congratulations on coming to this forum and listening to the many g...

Remember that the ResScan card has to be inserted in to the ACR-38 reader with the with contacts facing up . This is the opposite way up to which the card has to be inserted into the flow generator. The reader is designed to take full sized Smartcards which have the contacts on their top surface (w...

Wireless, I have no explanation for what you're describing. In fact, if you're opening your "patient file" before doing each download, and doing the download at least once every 5 days, detail data for EVERY day should be saved on your computer, even though the machine and the card only keep 5 days...

Temples.

The Pap-Cap is great. My only complaint is that the velcro on the cap is too large.

When I put on my headgear it wants to stick to the velcro on the cap and is a pain. I am going to cut the velcro on the cap to match the size of the velcro on the chinstrap so there's nothing to stick to.

Dreamstalker, Thanks for the come back. I have used photobucket. I believe everyone who uses this link has to sign up for photobucket. That would probably turn off a lot of people. I get turned off when these Web Sites make you jump through hoops just to get a little info. I've seen the graphs right...

Hi Folks, I have been on the machine a little over 2 months now. The learning curve has been VERY STEEP . I have learned the most from the wonderful people on this forum. The old line is true, the person most interested in your health care is you. I had to do a lot for myself because my family docto...

WOW Velbor, (and others) Thanks for all the GREAT INFO. I have the ResScan VPAP III ST machine, (got it because my pressure is 24), and I have just purchased the ResLink, ResScan and Oximeter and am in the process of getting it all set up. I will share all that I learn in a couple of weeks. Having s...

It's too bad that you didn't lurk on here for a while before starting the whole process. There are many very knowledgable people who will give you great advice. I couldn't see where you live but my DME has decided to sell only ResMeds because he's tired of the other brands breaking down. E-mail John...

Went to see the sleep doc today. Gave him my sleep data. Day; leak= 62L/min VT = 350-550 Resp. Rate= 12-25 MV = 4.8-11.8 AHI= 4.8 AI= 2.2 He was very interested. He's an older doc who probably hasn't kept up to the technology. It was almost as if he had never seen this stuff before but he didn't poo...

Thanks all for your GREAT info. It was very helpful.

I accessed and copied down my data from last night. I would appreciate any comments that you could make about it.

First post on this sleep apnea forum I need advice- I’ll try to make a long story as short as I can First, a short introduction- My name is Ed and I live on eastern Long Island, in NY. My wife said that I was not breathing for 10-15 seconds at a time and I was very tired so I went to my family docto...
