Thanks for all of the advice. Good news, I plugged it in and it seems to work fine! I have used it for two nights now. I will probably see about getting it checked out/replaced. I'm pretty sure it did get some water in it as the filter was a little wet. Maybe I was lucky this time. Wish they could f...

Humidifier spilled in CPAP!!!

The other night I somehow knocked or pulled my machine off the nightstand. Of course it sucked in some water before I could get it disconnected. I immediately drained the machine and have left it sitting for 4 or 5 days now. Haven't been able to shake any water out for a couple of days. What do you...

[quote="rooster"][quote="CJ"]Rooster,

You might try the tennis ball trick.. Wrap the center back of a t-shirt around a tennis ball and secure it with a rubber band. Wear the shirt to bed, and I guarantee when you roll on your back, you auto-roll back onto your side.

How would back sleepers fare with this interface? It appears that the hose connection on the back of the head is not padded and would be between the head and pillow.

In what other positions (i.e., chest) can this interface be worn and how is the nasal portion supported then?

Pulse oximetry isn't always the answer. My wife has suspected I had OSA for over 5 years; I often woke at night gasping for breath, snored, etc. My old Dr. did the overnight oximetry and said there was no problem. Fast forward (five years) to about a month ago with my first sleep test. AHI=26 and O2...

Don't know yet. I am switching to a machine that will be software capable soon so I can monitor it. My current machine doesn't show that. The only leakage I have noticed is occasional around the "simple pillow" and it usually wakes me and I fix it. Think I have finally got it adjusted so I don't hav...

Started Drooling with CPAP. Why?

I have been on CPAP for about three weeks now. About the last week I have woke up in the morning with a bit of drool on the side of my face. When I was younger I used to drool all the time when I was sleeping but haven't done that in years. Any hypotheses on why this might be happening? I'm fairly s...

Dang, I was getting ready to buy an M series Pro just so I could use this software. Guess I will go with the Puritan Bennett Goodknight instead. Respironics might be shooting themselves in the foot with this move...

I would also suggest using the ramp feature; you might set it for at least 20-30 minutes. I have been on CPAP for a week now and find the ramp is great for going to sleep. I am used to it enough that if I wake in the middle of the night (bathroom break or otherwise) and need to take my mask off I do...

Your interface should have come with a couple of different sizes. Call your DME back and get resized. I have the CL@ and have been happy with it so far. ON thing I found is don't overtighten the straps (if you have marks on your forehead, it is probably too tight.) I have also found that to eliminat...

I've been happy with the CL2 also. I have been using the simple pillow until last night when I switched to the nasal pillows. Guess I didn't like them much as I took the headgear off about 4 AM...first time I have done that in the week I have used it. Guess I 'll try again tonight.
