Re: Hose size, mask type and pressure settings
Also was curious if the thickness of the hose has any bearing on what type of mask should be used. hope. the *only* thing that the smaller hose buys you is a lighter hose. however, being smaller, it has more resistance to airflow, and so the blower has to compensate for that. and that's what the ho...

Re: Micro CPAP device
If it wasn't for people taking offense of the more reasonable posters pointing out foibles this wouldn't be a thread. Tiredgil learn how to search, EMS quit with your hollow threats, you don't have the hoss to do anything either in front of or behind the scenes or start things "underway". Your obvio...

Re: Behavior in this Forum
When I first posted that I had SA and was going to start a self directed treatment, I was touched by the response that thread received. In that thread someone mentioned that I didn't post much. So I figured "Ok I'll post more". The funny thing is, unless someone needs help with a malfunctioning mach...

Re: ResMed CPAP s9 autoset & elite h5i for sale
I wouldn't say $400 for an unused machine Is "grossly" inflated, may be somewhat inflated but that's not necessarily the final price, but merely a starting point for negotiation. However Im more than willing to be reasonable with the price if I decide to sell it here. I realize that the people of t...

Re: ResMed CPAP s9 autoset & elite h5i for sale
Look, this is Jordan's thread. He's made it perfectly clear. I can't understand why he's has to bear seeing other posts on HIS thread. Don't you get it. He wants a thread, he signed up, he's the OP, he has rights, quit posting on friendly, fair, upright, honest, Jordan's thread. He got the cpap fair...

Re: ResMed CPAP s9 autoset & elite h5i for sale
your opinion to yourself and get off of my post. Thanks! Take care. it's a free forum. it being "your" machine is debatable, your asking price is grossly inflated, and there are *lots* of people here that will happily point that out to keep you from ripping off anybody here. You heard him...get off...

Re: How many CPAP users exist, and how much profit do DMEs make?
Population 3,000 and an hour and a half from any mid-size city. What were you going to sell? Three CPAPs per year. Try living off that "50% net profit"! So, if I understand you correctly, if a person with respiratory problems is unfortunate enough to live over an hour away from a city, then they be...

Re: How many CPAP users exist, and how much profit do DMEs make?
Thought I toss in some anecdotal info on profit margins for DME: Years ago I was looking into opening a small DME in Bethany Missouri. I called an owner of a fairly large regional operation and asked him what a well run company in the industry could expect to make. He told me that if you watched exp...

Re: New and "hate" the noise from my REMstar...
Just for a bit of reference, I was fooling around with this page: https://www.cpap.com/cpap-compare-chart/all-BiPAP Looks like the Resmeds come in at about 3db less than Respironics. With my old rock and roll ears, I'd never hear the difference, but someone more sensitive than I just might be distur...

Re: Weight loss to get rid of sleep apnea?
You just don't know the answer. Lose the weight and see if you can kick. If not, then you're gonna take therapy. Why the drama? I was the same as you, I hated the thought of tying myself to a machine, but for many of us, we gotta have the machine. It doesn't matter what shape you were in. Hell, I wa...

Re: PRSystem One 60 series Bi Pap Auto SV warning message
I was awakened last night by a beeping sound from my machine, I tried to turn machine off , could not do, red light was on left button on machine, message on screen said Low pressure support. The only way I could shut machine off was to unplug the power and return power. The Manual that was given m...
