Re: ResMed Airsense 11 Travel Case Question

I don't know the size of the ipad, so I can't comment on that, but I just returned from my sleep doctor's appointment, and had my case out. It measures about 9 inches wide closed by a zipper and about 7 inches deep.

Hope that helps.

Re: Apria or Lincare

I bought it from sleeplay, and not on insurance. I had the AirCurve10 that I had bought used, and wanted to get an updated machine that could send data to Resmed for my Doctor to review. I apparently have one of the few sleep doctors that actually look at the data from resmed. There's not a lot of d...

Re: Apria or Lincare

bwexler, I've had the AirCurve 11 for over a week now. And I got it a day after I ordered it. So they're definately being stocked in the industry. It may just be that your supplier is not as quick as others.

> I know of no Dr who has access to MyAir who sits down to review any of that info Before the patient is in the room. They just don't have that kind of time or interest.

Re: Upgrading The Defunct Resmed 2G/3G Modems

Can you post additional insight as to how you did the upgrade? In previous discussions, it seemed as though just changing the boards wouldn't work, as firmware needed to be upgraded as well. It sounded problematic, however you make it sound relatively easy. It would be great to hear your experience!

Re: Question about my humidifier Air Sense 11. Rusty?

Drareg65, I don't know what it is, but I assumed it was some type of mold. My wife's AS11 humidifier had a recurring case of that; for some reason, mine never did. After cleaning it multiple times, and disinfecting it trying to get rid of it, I finally just replaced the hose and the humidifier. She ...

Re: How to run a ResMed AirMini on a USB power bank

psteckler, what is the output wattage of your anker battery? I seem to recall some discussions on SleepHQ about the device that it needed 65 watts of power to work properly. When I put a USB-C ammeter on the cable, it was running about 20v and a little more than 3 amps. Although that's for the AS11,...

Re: After 6 years of APAP, any ways to improve quality of life?

I'm not an expert on interpreting the charts, however your charts look very similar to mine. Flow limitations occur, with the expected reaction of pressure increase, but usually ends up in a hypopnea or apnea. I just met with my sleep doctor, and she increased my min pressure to just under the 95% l...

Re: How to run a ResMed AirMini on a USB power bank

psteckler, please do report back on results. I also bought a USB-C ammeter to measure the power usage of the AirMini and AirSense 11 (since the last post, my home machine now runs on the AS11 version of the 914gadgets device). I haven't done any of the math behind the numbers, but it definately seem...

Re: Rings

Just had an appointment with my Sleep Doctor the other day. She had sent me to the Sleep Clinic for a study as both my Samsung Watch and my O2 Oximeter ring had identified that my SPO2 was dropping several times throughout the night. Given I had heart surgery last year, we were both concerned about ...

Re: chinstrap shifts out of place

I am eternally on the hunt for the perfect chin strap. I have not yet found it... so far, what works best for me is a sports headband that goes UNDER my chin and then over the head. It's kind of what they call the SCUNCI method talked about here. I found a headband works well if it's wide enough to ...

Re: Resmed smart phone reports

Dog Slobber. I don't think the Mask off/on metric is about machine power cycling. I do think it's about the machine detecting free air flow as if there were no mask... e.g. if you disconnect the hose, or temporarily move the mask to scratch your nose, or whatever... My wife's machine often records m...

Re: Pre-authorization

How can they tell you that it's so important that you use your CPAP that you could die from this but yet they take their dear sweet azz time getting you the equipment that you need? Makes me crazy, but it is nice to know I'm not alone in the insanity! I had a sleep study in the Lab the other night ...
