Re: Seeking Advice on CPAP Efficacy
When you meet the doctor, what will you tell him about the settings you changed? I'll explain that the initial settings didn't seem to help much, so I decided to experiment a bit to see if I could find a more effective setup. It might be worth trying out some straightforward adjustments, starting w...

Re: Seeking Advice on CPAP Efficacy
Maybe you don't need a firware update. Do you know how to check your firmware version? I think the "how" is mentioed in the presentation I linked to. The doctor, intentionally or not, set you up with a very low exhale pressure (EPAP), and a relatively narrow range - but we don't know why. Did you ha...

Re: Seeking Advice on CPAP Efficacy
Interestingly, the data from my O2Ring seem to closely correlate with the readings from the CPAP machine. However, when I catch up on sleep without using the CPAP, the O2Ring shows similar data to when I am using the machine. Does this suggest that the CPAP is not effective for me? No, it suggests ...

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner
One question I had though, is it ok to take the humidifier tub out of the machine while it is in cool down mode (still pushing out a low flow of air with the snow flake symbol on the screen). It seems to take about an hour to 1.5hrs for it to cool down of a morning and I can't really wait that long...

Re: Bad bad sore throat, any ideas?
The way to avoid rain out is to raise temp at the same time you raise humidity. Warmer air can carry more moisture without it turning into water.

Re: Medicare requires repeated new split study? After 15 years of cpap use.
Ozij, the type of oximeter the patient owns is irrelevant. Did you see me mention anything about the oximeter you do or di not own? If it was not a professional one, ask your pulmonologist for a night of professional oxygen tracking. Let me empasise the above: ask your pulmonologist for a night of ...

Weekly cleaning tips:
Once a week, soak your humidifier tub in warm water using a mild dishwashing liquid OR in a solution with a ratio of 1 part vinegar and 9 parts water at room temperature.

Re: Is it mask movement leak or mouth opening leak or both?
Here's what I see:
Three things seem to be happening together:
A drop in flow rate
Some flow limitations
Leaks.
My guess is you're opening your mouth, not mask movement.
Congestion?
EPAP too low?

Re: Understanding readings
I am reading that the CPAP does not treat sleep apnea it just allows the patient more O2 to sleep better. Either you're reading the wrong stuff, or you're misunderstanding what your read. CPAP does not cure sleep apnea, just like glasses don't cure short sightedness. Do read Sticky--Newbies-PLEASE-...

Re: Selling Used Equipment
I have a used ResMed S9 that I would like to sell. Does anyone have experience selling to secondwind? If so, what should I expect as far as an offer? Or is there a better option? It is a fully functional machine with humidifier and carrying case and has 9,358 hours of use if that helps. Thanks I ke...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?
Is there an acceptable way to do all night saturation tracking at home? Yes, and that's what I was suggesting. Professional recording oximeters can be given to the patient for a night to check for their oxygen saturation. That is neither a sleep study nor a titration. You can buy a consumer grade o...

Re: Medicare requires repeated new split study? After 15 years of cpap use.
I seem to only have mild apnea compared to some of you, only 83 AHI. It has been 13+ years since my split night study. 10 years since my Complex apnea study. I agree that Kaiser is a good place to go to die. I bought a used Resmed Aircurve ASV last October and my Medicare Advantage plan reimbursed ...
