I've tried it and there is no difference, it cuts the IPAP very short still. with 500 ml Target Vt or off, didn't see a difference That's a shame.....It may also be worth trying increasing target VT a bit and checking the backup rate is set sufficiently low that it's not forcing a cycle. If that do...

Have you tried s/t mode? I have a suspicion that this may be closer to auto s if you use the target tidal volume setting. From the literature this seems to react to your natural rhythm which is what auto s seems to do on the basic BIPAP machine. Would be great to confirm this either way.

So auto S doesn't have this problem for you? No AutoS seems to take the average of the last few breaths and settle to that....vastly easier to get on with which was frustrating as I am treading a fine line between sufficient difference between ipap and epap to address flow limitations and avoiding ...

I don't have the VT variant but I do find that the basic BIPAP version in "s" mode does seem to cut off the inhale very short.....you can change the tmin value up which helps.....in "auto s" it seems much more comfortable.....I'm assuming that the VT is intended to be used with a target tidal volume...

I've got one of those and it's a good bit of kit. Without heated hose / humidifier I get 2 to 3 nights out of it and I like that it can charge from a usb-c cable.

Another UK voice here. I was in a similar.position and ended up just buying a BMC BIPAP from AliExpress. Cost for a brand new machine with warranty was about £600 and it was "pay on delivery" with free returns so the risk was very low. I have been very pleased with the quality of the machine and the...

I've got a G3 Bilevel.....I've no direct experience if any other machines to compare it with but I can say that it's easy to use, appears to be well built with no fundamental issues that I can see. The prevailing View here seems to be get a resmed because it's well understood and is compatible with ...

It's not bad though not at the same level as Oscar

Which model of g3 do you have? I have been using the Bilevel version for about 6 months now...it's a good machine though not as well understood as the more usual manufacturers efforts. There is a fairly good bit of software which allows detailed data analysis. https://www.sleepfiles.com/BMC-2/pap_li...

Does this now include non US people?

I'm not familiar with this mask but I assume that, like other full face masks, it has a non return valve so you can breathe if the machine shuts down.....it's possible that this is leaking at the lower pressure?

Hi st wanted to say thanks to Jill who has been very patient dealing with the logistics of shipping to the UK......very much appreciated thankyou.

Hi Jillk,

Got.your.PM (thankyou) but I can't reply (I'm guessing because I'm newly registered?) I'll try and ask an admin for help but (if it's allowed) pm me an email address and I'll reply that way
Thanks
Gareth

I would be really interested in the sleepweaver mask but not certain where you are based (I'm guessing us?) If you were willing to ship to the UK I would gladly cover the costs.
