Re: Liners help or hurt with F40 Hybrid mask?

I was told that this type of mask requires an exact seal which to inflate properly, it needs the silicon suction. Whoever told you that is apparently not very intelligent regarding basic physics. The PAP acronym stands for Positive Air Pressure, which is obviously the exact opposite of suction. Wit...

Re: Philips Dreamstation 2 am I crazy?

What the hell philips?!?! My machine is an air sense 10 with pillows. What the hell rachel?!?! Your AirSense 10 machine was manufactured by ResMed, a US-based company. (Feel free to check the big logo on the front of your machine if you don't believe me.) Philips Respironics, a Dutch company, and t...

Re: Does the 2025-6 model of the AirSense 10 still keep flagging airplane mode?

1) the machine's humidifier is currently inoperable, I've learned something new. I am surprised that the humidifier is linked to airplane mode. I guess the airlines think CPAP humidifiers might fog up the windows. :l LOL, that, and they don't seem to approve of me pouring a couple of those tiny lit...

Re: Humidifier Question

What if there was a way to humidify Cpaps, Vpaps, and oxygen therapy without using liquid water? It would be cool humidity instead of needing heat to produce humidity. It would have a higher Relative humidity %. It would not need electricity to power it so you would save 2/3rds of total electricity...

Re: Does the 2025-6 model of the AirSense 10 still keep flagging airplane mode?

What makes you think I am not a physician? The nature of the question you asked in this thread, and the fact that you knew already knew the obvious logical answer—which a physician would very much understand and support. Some of your posts in other threads, including some threads that you've starte...

Re: Does the 2025-6 model of the AirSense 10 still keep flagging airplane mode?

The airplane mode reminder appears each time you start therapy in order to remind you that 1) the machine's humidifier is currently inoperable, and 2) the machine cannot send therapy data to your care provider. Why is your forum username "Physician" when you are obviously not one? (Serious question.)

Re: Inconclusive sleep study

Your sleep study report appears to be from a WatchPAT home sleep test, which monitors blood flow via Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) in order to indirectly identify moderate to severe cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It's important to note that PAT-based home sleep tests don't directly mo...

Re: Different Power Inputs During Travel

The standard 65W power supply for the Air11 machines in your signature are rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz, which should cover most everywhere you're likely to go. You can either use the 120V 2-prong North American power cord that came with it, along with whatever plug adapters needed to connect in whate...

Re: NEW RESMED MACHINES AVAILABLE

will it have the same features at the Air Sense 11, which I believe is the latest cpap? It's unclear what you mean by "it" above? The OP has already clarified that the only machine he still has for sale is the same AirCurve 11 VAuto that you already have. His point, and mine, is simply that all Res...

Yes, all of the AirCurve BiPAP (and the ASV machines too) can be set operate in CPAP mode.

The image below is from the AirCurve 10 BiPAP machine's Clinical Guide:

Re: Mask for noninvasive ventilator

I know that all of Resmed's full face CPAP masks have an Anti-Asphyxia Valve (AAV), including the Quattro FX and AirFit F20 you mentioned. So basically any Resmed PAP therapy mask with "F" model designation. ( source ) I'm pretty sure, but not 100% certain, that most of the other PAP mask manufactur...

Not sure exactly what you're doing, because you didn't say. It works fine for me in OSCAR v1.7.1 with no special configuration steps required.

Re: Tubing diameter dilemma

I have the SAME problem as the OP.... I had a AirSense 10, and it came with a Slimeline 15mm Tube.... However, I couldn't sleep, and I felt like I was NOT getting "enough Air", like breathing through a straw. Talked with a Sleep Doctor, and they told me to try the 19mm Standard Tube.... FIXED the p...
