Since you have removed the humidifier, you really don't have to do anything.

Re: Using resmed S9 without the humidifier

Is there a way in the settings to turn off the humidifier myself? I don't want to use any water. I had detached the humidifier from the rest of the S9 unit, but the climate line tubing hose won't stay in tightly when I connect it into the other part of the unit. I'd also like to turn off the heat f...

Re: Sleep apnea and deviated septum

Reminds one of the famous quotes, consistent with surgeries done, sometimes needlessly:

A chance to cut is a chance to cure

The patient won't heal without the steel

Re: Sleep apnea and deviated septum

@physician thanks for feedback. I have tried using Afrin before. It clears up my nose for sure. But then rebounds badly the next day even more blocked than the first time. Even after using it once. So I dont use it at all. Then use it concommitantly with Flonase** or Nasocort, and stop the Afrin af...

Re: Sleep apnea and deviated septum

A buddy had this same nasal obstruction. His doc told him In order to determine what percent of the problem is due to turbinate hypertrophy, try over-the-counter Afrin nasal spray which has oxymetazoline. Proper use is important. Blow your nose completely then one-two sprays each nostril. Wait 1/2 h...

Re: Ever used an SD Card extender with your CPAP unit ?

I ordered the cord: 1. I remove the card at least monthly 2. The end of the extension has no moving parts, unlike the machine 3. Far more convenient. No cover to open. 4. End of extension can be secured to prevent pulling at the machine slot. Will see if the side cover can be closed when the cable ...
