thank you pugsy for your suggestions. He was happy with the remstar so buying another Respironics system may be a good idea. Last machine was bought through a DME through our insurance, I'm seriously considering purchasing the replacement unit directly from cpap.com. we've bought all his supplies (m...

thank you very much for your suggestion! His old remstar has done well by him - I want to make sure he's happy with the replacement.

My husband has been using a REMstar auto c-flex since 2006. This morning it started with the error code 87. Ive only found minimal info regarding this error code and it doesn't look good. I think we will have to replace his machine asap. I did a lot of research before we purchased the REMstar and he...

Offerocker -

Are you the one who sells the hose sleeves? If so could you send me some info?

Thank you

"Congrats, Now don't forget to update the profile."

Just did

I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me by answering my questions and offering opinions regarding my husbands treatment. This morning he was set up with a Remstar Auto C-Flex with Heated Humidifier with a setting of 9-16 and a full face mask. It took some gentle (cough cough) pushing for us to ...

I wrote a week or so ago about a possible change to my husbands CPAP settings due to a new sleep study that recommended raising his pressure from 11 to 17. We met with the DR, and at this time we decided to have him try out an APAP with the setting of 9 - 16. I requested that it be a Remstar APAP wi...

Goofproof, Thank you so much for the advice. I'm going to be sure to have my husband read this when he gets home tonight. Maybe its a good thing we have sometime before we have to see the DR to get our "ducks in a row" so to speak. I'm going to take notes and ask a lot of questions. I'm also going t...

Collegegirl, The auto BiPAP sounds like it would be nice for him. Is there a big difference between the Auto BiPAP and and APAP? Sorry for all the questions. I'm hoping the Dr is willing to be flexible when we see him and let us try something that may help with the increased pressure. I believe (by ...

Jim,

What is the difference between an APAP and an Auto BiPAP? You mentioned you thought his sleep study was fishy - could you please explain why.

This is all so new to both of us. He trusts me to do the reading and research so I'm trying to learn anything and everything I can.

Thank you!

Thank you for your input Don. We have a follow up appt on the 19th of this month with his Dr. I'm going along and I'll be sure to ask about the APAP. The sleep study was preformed of course on his back, and he had to take an Ambien to fall asleep. Between sleeping on his back and the sleep meds I'm ...

My husband is a fairly new cpap user. He has an Resmed Ultra Mirage II Mask & Headgear nasal mask and a 600 series Fisher Paykel cpap machine with a heated hose. I'm hoping someone with more experience than us can help with some questions. His first setting was 11. His mask works well as long as his...
