The "REF 36006" product code on the label indicates the machine is an S9 VPAP Auto model. ( model code reference here .) The presence of Rise Time + TI Min/Max therapy settings indicates that it's configured for use in "S" (spontaneous) therapy mode. In a nutshell, S mode is simple fixed EPAP and IP...

I'm sorry for your discomfort. I find it a bit challenging to respond to your comments seriously though, as the answers seem obvious. ...But if I am having constipation... It's no secret that constipation causes pressure and bloating in your belly, making it hard to find a comfortable sleeping posit...

CPAP therapy compliance reports are commonly required for pilot (FAA) and CDL (DOT) qualification, for what should be obvious reasons. More info on CDL/DOT compliance reports here and here . Your DOT medical examiner can optionally require you to present a signed compliance report from a sleep doc o...

you realize this has been recalled, right? The DreamStation 2 machines are manufactured with a silicone-based foam, not PE-PUR foam, and were not included in the June 2021 recall. The DreamStation shown in the linked image is the one that was recalled Yes, it certainly is. Please accept my apologie...

So, is the CPAP mode on both feet Air Curve 11 and the Air curve 11 ASV the same as the way the Air Sense 11 works. Yes, all Air10 and Air11 series therapy machines offer the same basic CPAP therapy mode. For the Resmed machines CPAP mode is simply a preset fixed pressure delivery, with optional Ex...

You're killing me Smalls... By your own admission, you clearly forged a CPAP prescription—a legally required document from a licensed healthcare provider —supporting a professional diagnosis , all of which you never actually received, which you then presented to your pulmonologist after-the-fact as ...

​By the way, I go to an ENT for prescriptions, and yeah, I made up my own prescription. Well, I didn't make it up—one of my friends on here made it up, and she did a great job with it; it lasted for quite a while. I took the prescription and went to a pulmonologist who was a hospitalist for my sign...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.)
