Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

I have been using an auto-bipap for 18+ years. Consistently I have AHI of less than one. It still makes me smile when I see 0.0 on my data screen. Bragging? Yes, but also encouraging others that it does happen, even after all these years. For me it just took finding the right mask, right machine and...

Resperonics settlement

What a surprise! Got a check from the Resperonics settlement for $479.50. We completed that long complicated claim form just before the August deadline. My husband had surrendered his old machine when they replaced it with a new machine, so we did not have anything to send them except the numbers. T...

Hi Has anyone ever received the $100 from Resperonics for returning a recalled machine? The deadline for requesting this money will be in one week. I have been trying to ask for this money and the money for sending back the machine. Not an easy project. I would like to know if anyone has successfull...

My daughter has for sale 2 complete (opened but not used) Aura/Headrest masks. She also has 10 unopened Medium and 2 Large nasal-pillows for that mask. She will sell the entire lot for best price offered plus the cost of shipping. If someone buys that I will include my 2 unopened Large size nasal pi...

Re: AEIO Med mask

The size is Large. Probably why I have them because I used medium. They look good, no discoloration that I can see. I think they can be used safely.. I always deconstructed my mask so I no longer have the rest of it.I liked that mask a lot. It looked funny, but it worked great. It made the exhale bl...

Re: AEIO Med mask

The mask was called the Aura and the Headrest. The factory that made it burned and that ended that.

I loved that mask and wore it for a long time. After it became no longer available I had to switch.

AEIO Med mask

I just found 2 nasal pillows for the old-fashioned mask from AEIO that used to be very popular around here. They are new and in sealed packages. I would be happy to send them to anyone who wants them if you will pay postage. I can't remember the name of the mask. Somebody here knows the name, I am s...

Re: Auto off

The tech who demonstrated the machine to me didn't tell me that. He told me it was to take off the mask.

Hahaha.

Auto off

Medicare finally approved a replacement for my 5 year-old Dreamstation that had been recalled. This time I got a RedMed auto bipap. I forget its fancy name. It has a feature called Auto Off. I can pull my mask off my head and it sends a whoosh of air for 15-20 seconds, then almost stops. It continue...

return old dreamstation 2

So I finally received my re-certified bipap machine for the recalled one. They want the old one sent back. Doesn't it have private info in its memory? If so, how do I clear that off the machine? Does it matter? I did remove the memory card. Were they supposed to send new humidifier too? They didn't....

Re: replacement cpap

Thanks! watched the video, and the machine has zero machine hours. I hope they could not change that feature. (I have the password saved so I don''t have to remember it.) I also keep a list. The DME said they will replace the more complicated machines first, like my husband's ASV. Eventually I suppo...
