Has anyone out there tried this mask and found it to be comfortable and leak resistant? Has anyone started using the EasyLife as your primary mask with great success? What mask did the EasyLife replace?

Thanks in advance for any of your experience and comments.

What Respironics monitoring software is compatible with new System One? Thanks...I have not posted in a long time but am still out here. I am thinking about buying one to get the additional information claimed by Respironics. If you prefer to send information by email, please reply to me and I will ...

Gumby,
Thanks for the tip. I knew this, but did it anyway the other day without thinking. Luckly, it did not spill much and nothing got into the cpap.
Very good advise.

I own two M series humidifiers. One I believe is the newest version and has round ports that connect it to the tank to the cpap. I also have a new M series pro with what I think to be the intermediate humidifier tank model. The ports on it are rectangular and the clasp is black like the newer unit. ...

Thanks to each of you for the replies. The sound of the machine never bothered me. I wanted to make sure it was normal for the apap. I slept very well last night. Normally, I wake after a couple of hours. Last night I slept to 6 hours before I woke and I was able to go back to sleep for 2 more hours...

I used my new apap for the first time last night and want to ask a question of those who currently use the same machine. I have the apap set for A Flex and I noticed the machine seemed to make more of a Darth Vater noice than I was used to from my older tank Bipap. It made the sound when I inhaled, ...

I had the UPPP with no side effects and I believe it only stopped my snoring. I would not have it done if I had to do over. Just in case the subject comes up with your ENT, the turbinate reduction is quite helpful but you need to consider why they might need to be reduced. In most cases it a result ...

Thanks for the replies. I believe I can picture it better. Many Thanks.

I am considering buying one for myself, however I have a question for the experienced users out there. I read or remember that the 420E measures pressure at the mask and has an additional tube to do this. Does this mean you have to use the 420e 6' tubing? Does it also require a coupling at the mask?...

Yes, I have had very good success with the TAP devise. I have been using for 3 months and I have adjusted to the devise. I much perfer it to CPAP. My apnea was mild to moderate. During REM I would have an AHI of 25-30 and O2 levels to 82%. I have checked my O2 with a oximeter that records over night...

There are many things that can cause ankle edema. It could be a medication you are taking or some other medical issue. I have never heard or read that using cpap could cause edema. You should probably seek the advise of your doctor on this matter.

My experience is that most TSA agents are very professional when handling cpaps. I have lately had to place the cpap in a plastic tub just like the laptop. I don't really mind what they do as long as they do the same to all cappers. International destinations are much more invasive. I am now only ca...

Velbor,
Thanks for the very informative report on your experiences. It will be very helpful in determining how I proceed. I was particularly interested in your using both, though at different times.

I know this is primarily about cpap use and OSA, but I was curious about anyone having success with an oral appliance similiar to the TAP device. If you are out there please give your experiences. Of particular interest is how you were able to determine success or failure.

Thanks,

Mindy has some very good point to consider. One other thing to consider is the amount of therapy sleep hours. Are you spending the right amount of time sleeping that is right for you. I know on many of the days I don't feel my best, I didn't spending enough time sleeping. Recent sleep reserach shows...
