Wife just diagnosed with sever sleep apnea. Help Plz

Post by jlmoorekcmo » Wed Jul 24, 2013 1:02 pm

My Wife just diagnosed with sever sleep apnea. Our Doctor has said he would prescribe whatever machine we like. I have looked at the Mask Arrayed site among others.
We want the machine to:
  • Give Full Data
  • Work With SleepyHead


Am I right to suggest these? Is there one I have missed?

AFlex Machines
PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine with A-Flex
S9 AutoSet™ CPAP Machine

BiFlex
PR System One REMStar 60 Series BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex
S9 VPAP™ Auto BiLevel Machine

Thanks!

You've got it narrowed down to the 2 most commonly dispensed brands and, yes, you have chosen the full efficacy data models.

If her pressure needs are very high and/or she has trouble exhaling at any pressure then that's when it would be nice to have the bilevel model of either machine.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

What are her pressure needs? Has this been prescribed yet?

She hasn't had her titration study yet. Sleep center here is no longer doing split studies.$$$$$
