New Equipment In

Post by Plowboy » Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:32 pm

I just picked up my new equipment. I went to the local DME and they were very helpful. She fitted me on site and I even had the opportunity to take a little nap on site. Here is what I have to start:

Machine: Respironics M-Series Auto BiPAP with M-Series heated humidifier
Mask: Opus 360 Nasal Pillow Mask
Assorted elbows and swivels

Anything else I should pick up? I have the purified water and went over the basics, any opinions on this equipment?
Should I pick up a chin strap? Seems like I open my mouth some.

Thanks in advance for all replies,

Phil

Congrats on being so on top of what's happening. About the chin strap = do you normally mouth breath? I guess you could be preventative, but it may not be a need. Did you mean to say distilled water, which is recommended, and not the same as purified?

Sounds like you've done your pre work, and now it will be a matter of tweaking if and when it is needed. Let us know how it goes.
