Re: Sticky.....OSCAR 1.6.0 - Is Now Available

Windows Defender warned me not to download Osca 1.6.0 but I think that is because it doesn't know the software. I don't remember what happened with 1.5.3 I'd bet to get certified by Microsoft isn't cheap, especially for a program that's free There are so many poisonous programs out there you have to...

Cottonelle flushable wipes to clean F20 air touch cushions

Have any of you been told that you could use flushable disposable wipes to clean off your AirTouch cushions for the F20? The other pure clear plastic cushion for the F20 is not a problem, but the AirTouch is almost like a cloth. I also wonder about any kind of fragrance affecting me, as I have aller...

Re: Someone is selling used air curve 10 VAuto

Thanks LSAT, I checked out how to do it on my air curve 11 and of course it was different than the video but I still got the settings and to ABOUT and there it was, so thank you. The guy selling machine says it has about 6,000 hours on it, which at 7 hours a day it's close to 2½ years, which isn't b...

Someone is selling used air curve 10 VAuto

Someone near me is selling an an air curve 10 VAuto. That is printed on the machine. It's silver and beige although the beige might be white because the bag it comes in is not looking black it looks brownish so I think there's a color issue with the picture. I thought that they were black and white....

Re: Bad leaks and fits from AC11 and P30i

I had no idea the mask program turns itself off. It fills your nose and your head with air no? It feels like you're in a landing airplane. It's a little uncomfortable but I didn't realize it lasts and shuts itself off. I wonder if it looks for pin like holes getting released anywhere else than from ...

Bad leaks and fits from AC11 and P30i

First, is there anyway to get the statistics on the left side of the daily reports to print on the Daily Report, either separately of near the graphs, like the leak percentages. Once the next day has been collected, that information cannot be printed out. In other words, you have to printout the CPA...

Re: Sticky: Distilled Water vs. bottled water vs tap water

I am not worried about the water tank because that get's replaced every 6 months and what I do is used filtered and then boiled water that I use for drinking. However, since the AR11 is a new machine with some problems, I am using only distilled water in case something goes wrong. I am not really ha...

Re: looking for tricks to sleeping on my side...please!

If you want to take a decent sleep study don't do it at home. Go to his sleep lab and try to sleep very little of the night before and make sure somebody picks you up or you take a cab home because you will be without sleep. But that's normal for you now. I have taken my first sleep study which was ...

EasyLonger Battery Backup for AirCurve 11

The hurricane season is here in Florida and I am wondering about a battery backup. I saw this one on Amazon for about $300 but it says inverter is separate. What is that? Do I need one? I know I would need a separate cable for the Air Curve 11. This one is compatible with the Air Sense 11 does that ...

Re: side sleeping

You know I think my mask leaking is worse when I sleep on my back which doesn't make any sense. It may be coincidental but when I had pretty bad pre-surgical pain in October as I was due for surgery November 17th, I slept on the recliner from the middle of October to the middle of January and my AHI...

Lots has happened with AC11 & Sleeping

Monday night I went to sleep at 12:45 and woke up. So I started breathing in and nothing's coming it's into my nose. So I looked at the machine and tried to read it, which is not very easy when you first wake up even with my glasses on because the screen is not the greatest screen. It's not backlit ...

Graphs

I tried to send the results pages from the last three nights but I don't know if the system has the power anymore to do that. I think some place it said that my percentage of time above the acceptable leak rate was something like 25%. I don't know if that is an acceptable amount. I looked back at so...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

Morning May 27 After fixing the sleeves on the p30i I woke up this morning feeling completely different. When I did the mask test yesterday it was fine and then a second later it said they were a problem. Then I pulled up those sleeves and it was fine. I just did it now after I slept and it was fine...
