Re: Used portable Bi-Pap, for my Dad, who needs it for his ALS.

The Trilogy 100 looks like a great machine. In fact that's the machine I'm looking at getting as well. I have a metabolic disease that has similar complications as ALS. I'm on bipap 24/7 and just rotating several machines throughout the day. Unfortunately the Trilogy is quite expensive. The cheapest...

Re: Please Help..Bi-PAP AVAPS - Calling SWS..

But if i set my AVAPS to the S/T mode with the AVAPS turned off it should work like my old Synchrony right? I tried that as well and set it to the same settings. I'm still dropping my O2 stats. If they really are set up identically---in ST mode----then they should perform identically. And if while ...

Re: Please Help..Bi-PAP AVAPS - Calling SWS..

I'm not sure if it's a defective machine or it's really just not working as well as the old ones. Please help! Your AVAPS machine is not defective. Though it is counter-intuitive, if you set your AVAPS device to your old S/T settings you will come up short, as appears you have already done. If you ...

Oh, would be able to see if the machine is not peaking quickly by the data in the SD Card?

Re: Please Help..Bi-PAP AVAPS - Calling SWS..

Yes I would be more than happy to post the settings of both machines here. I really want to resolve this problem. What other information do you need? As far as I can remember here's the set up of both my machines now. Synchrony S/T IPAP - 15 EPAP - 5 BPM - 18 Rise Time - 1 Ti - 1.6s BiPAP AVAPS IPAP...

Re: Please Help..Bi-PAP AVAPS - Calling SWS..

Reading this thread has been informative. I also got a PR System One BiPAP AVAPS last May and I really thought it was going to be an easy switch from the BiPAP Synchrony ST. Well a month into having it I still haven't been able to make the transition. I set the AVAPS to the same parameters as the Sy...

PR System One BiPAP AVAPS: Severely Disappointed

I just bought a PR System One BiPAP AVAPS to replace my broken Synchrony. I got that over the older model because i thought that since it's the latest model it would be better. Alas it wasn't. After a month of being with me I still can't get the right settings to it. Finally my RT came over and he b...

Re: donating a used cpap

Hi, If it's possible would you consider it to the group that I just started with some friends of mine? We started a project called "The Breathe Initiative" (http://www.breatheinitiative.org). Our goal is to basically provide help to patients here in the Philippines who have no access to breathing eq...

Where to buy a Trilogy 100?

I'm looking at purchasing a Trilogy 100. Can anyone recommend a vendor that sells it? I don't live in the US hence no insurance to cover it. It's gonna be out of pocket. I'm looking for a place that can give me a good deal on it. thanks in advance

Re: BiPAP Synchrony S/T and other questions

The BiPAP S/T? Really. I demoed the new model somehow it seems different. I set it to the pressure settings that were on my synchrony and it felt like I wasn't getting enough air. the synchrony is still smoother for me.

BiPAP Synchrony S/T and other questions

Hi Guys, Does anyone of you have any leads on a used/refurbished BiPAP Synchrony S/T? I have Pompe disease and have been bipap dependent for more than 10 years. At first it was just night time use but now I am dependent on it 24/7. I have Synchrony's that I rotate daily on about 12 hours use per mac...
