Re: ResMed Air Mini - Initial Impressions

Be very interested to know what level of data you can get out of it with no SD card.

Is there a file you can export or something similar so you can you get the same level as the AirSense 10?

Re: I saw the Air Mini this week and it looks amazing!

I note no rubber feet on the machine to keep it from sliding off one's nightstand. I was thinking the same, but there is an optional additional accessory called the "airmini mount system" which actually looks quite good. Allows you to have it hang off the side of the bed, off the side or a drawer, ...

Re: ResMed AirMini Update

Can someone please tell me if Australians can buy machines (like the resmed airmini) in the US without a sleep study? If so who do you buy it from? As far as I know most of the Australian CPAP retailers will happily sell you a machine without a study. I won't name names here, but a quick search wil...

Re: New travel size machine- Resmed Air-Mini- coming soon

I read the contest terms and conditions to mean the device and mask, which are bought and sold together, will retail for $1,999. An Australian retailer mentioned a similar price in a recent YouTube video. Not cheap. Yes but if that is Australian pricing, you have to appreciate in Australia the reta...

Re: CPAP and Tinnitus

I'm not on any meds that might be causing tinnitus - have cut out coffee, salt and low dose aspirin (all of which might have been having an effect). My tinnitus is intermittent, accompanied by sinus pain and virus like symptoms and follows a definite pattern. I normally wake up with it, after an ho...

Re: Need new mask recommendation (mouth breather)

I'm also a fan of the Tap Pap (Pugsy put me on to it). I still have very large tonsils and one nasal passage is fairly tiny. I had mild mouth breathing problems using a Swift FX and found that the mouthpiece of the Tap Pap caused me to keep my mouth shut. Can't explain why, but no mouth breathing no...

Re: Changing mask type for the first time in 7 years. Suggestion

So I've been using a full face mask for 7 years. However during my first year of therapy, I used the Swift FX. After a few months of therapy, I realized I was mouth breathing. I tried chin straps and tape. The I went to the full face mask. Never looked back. Another alternative you might consider i...

Re: Sleep length

I think it is probably fairly personal. When I was starting I found anything less than 6 had that suffocating feeling for me, put others seem to be quite comfortable at 4. At first I used the swift fx too but I didn't find the pillow size made much difference to the suffocating feeling. After quite ...

Re: How many times have you had to boil tap pap

Just the once.

But I read all the experience from Pugsy and others first. Imagine how long you might take to get it right without cpaptalk!

Wonder if Tap PaP are going to modify their instructions.

I don't touch the screw at all. I pop it in my mouth, use my fingers to seat it, and I'm off to the races. Occasionally, I'll shift the pillow slightly, but no big deal.
I find I have to rinse the mouthguard part each day. Do you just detach the whole mask and rinse that way? Might be easier.

Re: Tap Pap has made my CPAP work - Thanks Pugsy

Can you try the larger size? Assuming that you aren't using the Large already. ..... I have found that I have to really, really squish the tap pap pillows to make it hurt though...There's a lot of room for forgiveness in that aspect. Already on the large size. With the Swift FX there is significant...

Re: Tap Pap has made my CPAP work - Thanks Pugsy

Hi Pugsy, thanks to your reviews, I've been using the TAP PAP for a month now. Generally find it works very well. Its quiet, easy to clean, sits well once adjusted with no leaks. Thanks to the advice, I gave the mouthpiece a little wiggle and did not suck too hard when fitting and had no problems wi...

Re: Why is it necessary to have prescription to buy cpap?

John I just called my specialist and said I needed a letter confirming I was on CPAP to buy a mask from the US. Specialist emailed me a short letter the next day which did the job. Your specialist or GP might also be willing to do the same. If you are looking to buy new, you can shop around a bit in...

Wolftracker there is a thread on here that one of the DMEs in the states is prepared to update the firm ware on your machine for what seemed a fairly modest fee. That might be worth a try before buying a new machine.
