Re: PR System One Question?

Today my total blower hours are correct for the two nights. Strange! I guess I have nothing to worry about. Thanks for the comments.

Re: PR System One Question?

I had my card read and it said I used the machine for 7.5 hrs last night. My dealer is calling Respironics to see what the problem is.

Re: PR System One Question?

I called the power company. There was no power outage last night. I am taking the SD card in to my dealer to get a print out.

Re: PR System One Question?

Thank you for the response. I have the provider guide and have accessed the provider mode screens. I cannot find a clock or time zone setting. The blower hours also reads 5.12 hrs. I wonder if my power was off last night?

PR System One Question?

I spent the last 4 years using the M Series Auto CPAP Machine with C-Flex. Last night was my first night on the PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine. I expected an improvement but was surprised at how much better it worked. It is a huge improvement. My question is about the hours used. I slept fo...

Resmed versus Respironics

I tried the Resmed S8 for 30 days and then switched to the Respironics Auto M for 30 days and then went back to the Resmed again for a couple of days, then finally settled on the Respironics Auto M for my permanent machine. I must say that the difference between the two is very minor. The Respironic...

Optilife

I would put in a call to your DMA and ask them about the deal. I live in Salt Lake City. Praxair gave me the Optilife. They said that the only catch is that they would call me for feedback in a week. I sleep on my side facing the side of the bed. I clip the hose to the side of the mattress at about ...

Swift problem

I sleep on my side also. When I first starting using the swift it gave me a sore nose. I would put a small amount of antiseptic creme on my nose which seemed to help. After a couple of weeks the soreness went away and I no longer have a problem with it. By the way I just picked up a free Optilife ma...

I have the Optilife

Last week my CPAP dealer told me that Respironics is giving a free Optilife to any Swift user. I took them up on the offer and have been using it for a week. I was picking up a new Respironics CPAP machine so that may have something to do with the deal. I like it better than the swift. The nasal pil...

Free Respironics OptiLife Nasal Interface

I thought you may be interested to know about the Free deal from Respironics. When I went in yesterday to pick up my new Respironics CPAP machine they said that since I was using the Swift Nasal Interface that Respironics would give me a free Optilife. The only catch is that they will call me in a w...

Thank you

Thank you for the post. I wanted to turn on the AHI screen so I can monitor myself. Your instructions did the trick.

New User Needs Provider Manual for REMstarAuto M Series

I have been using CPAP for one month now. Thank you, this forum given me a lot of very useful information. I have been using the Resmed auto machine.
