Julie,

Interesting idea. I do have a cat. But I have never seen him interested in my CPAP or going on my night table at night. I am worried that there is something wrong with the CPAP, but there is no strange sounds. I guess I will try the rubber band or tape ideas.

I have two tanks as well as two tubings. I wash the one I use every week with all my other items, mask,tubing and sponge filter. I wash them in baby shampoo. I have the tank and tubing dry for the week while I use the other set. I only use distilled water and empty it every morning. I leave the tank...

I am using the new filters without a tab. Yes, I have done a search and from 2012, I see that I am not alone with this. Won't putting a rubber band restrict the airflow?

Thanks!

I had tried nasal pillow mask only and it caused a sore nose and nose bleeds. I have been using the Mirage Liberty mask ever since. It doesn't really bother your nose as you can use your mouth for majority of therapy. I love that mask. No need to cover your nose as the nasal pillows do that. Super c...

I have a Respironics System One CPAP. Every morning when I wake up both the fine filter and the black sponge filter are off and laying on my bedside table. Last night I woke up and sure enough they were off. I put them back in and checked a half hour later and they were off again. Is anyone else hav...

Hello all, I am really having a problem. I am continuing to get severe nose bleeds. Per my sleep clinic doctor, I have switched masks from an OptiLife to the Liberty Mirage where I can open my mouth and take the pressure off my nose. I have upped the humifier to the limit on what I can tolerate and ...

I was using an OptiLife mask but kept getting nose bleeds. I tried increasing the humidifier but still got nose bleeds. So, my sleep doctor said I should change masks as my nose can't handle all the pressure from the the nasel pillows. So, tonight I will try my new mask, a Mirage Liberty. I had my t...

Thanks all for the advice. I have bought my extension cord and have a surge protection power cord. I think for my peace of mind, I will put it back in the bag and put the hose away.

All, I know there have been lots of posts on CPAP and traveling. I will be traveling and I am concerned about leaving the CPAP out on the night stand in the hotel while I am gone. Do all of you disconnect it and put it up each morning before you leave for the day? Is it OK to leave it out? Have any ...

I have the OptiLife mask and was wondering how frequently should the nasal pillows be replaced?

Thanks

Sleepngo, Thanks so much for the link for fitting the mask. Turns out I have been wearing this mask all wrong. I am a newbie and the instruction book was not that clear to me. The visuals really made the difference. I think I will take a nap later just to try it out with a proper fit. You guys are t...

I have some questions concerning the extra white filters for the RemStar Pro MSeries. Are they really necessary? A friend of mine said they are only needed for certain types of allergies but he did not say which ones. I am not even sure if I have it put in correctly as my DME had to deliver a new ma...

Hello all, Newbie here. I have a RemStar Pro MSeries. On the display it shows "System Leak" and gives a 7 day and 30 day average in L/min units. How do you interpret the number? When is it significant? How do I know that I am not having too big a leak from the nasal pillows from the OptLife mask? I ...
