Keep in mine that certain blood pressure meds dry out your mouth enough for you to get cavities. I did not know this until my dentist noticed that I was getting cavities under the gum line. He asked me if I was using any blood pressure meds. I told him I was using Diovan. He said the Diovan dries up...

Do you think it is an issue that the S9 does not detect clear airway apneas (i.e., central apneas)? Would I be sorry I didn't have that if I end up trying to titrate myself at home? First of all the S9 does indeed detect and report on central apneas. Second of all why would any machine try to clear...

Yep, one of my biggest complaints about the PR1 - the LCD screen without a back light is very difficult to read. I too had to use a flashlight to read the screen. I used a small but bright LED flashlight. This is a problem I have with the manufacturers of user end medical devices. I am a diabetic an...

The LCD screen does not have a back light. One of my complaints about the PR1. I have to use a small LED flashlight to see the display. You can control the white lighted number and ramp indicators from on to off with if the few seconds that they light up when you adjust the numbers that the light st...

In the U.S. you were and are required to have a prescription to purchase masks, hoses, software, etc. for x-pap. Maybe so on-line vendors did not completely enforce it in the past - it seems that maybe the powers to be are getting more sticker on enforcement. Here is a FAQ from cpapauction.com: What...

I too was bidding on a mask. I had been bidding on a mask for a few days. I was out bided and I went to place a higher bid and I was informed that I needed a prescription. My prescription has always been linked with cpap.com so I went to "pull" the script from cpap.com but this function does not see...

When I first got my ResScan software and did my first download I had similar problems with loosing hours of data especially when I took naps on the same day - 2 sessions the same day - it would loose one of them. I thought it might had to do with the clock on the machine not being set. There was no ...

Used Days > X hours Y minutes Used Days is the total number of days where Daily Usage exceeded the compliance threshold (X hours Y minutes). % Used Days > X ...

Of course you don't want to debate about it. You just want to call people liars and have everybody believe what you say. Makes life simpler for you. First of all I hope you did not think that was I calling you a liar or saying that you were misleading. It was just an honest statement of concern abo...

I am trying to install Encore Pro 2.2 on my VMware on a Mac using Window XP Home with SP3. I want to just install the Typical installation and not the Advance but the dialog window had the Typical option dimmed so I could only choose the Advance which wants me to give a server name, etc. which I bel...

The market is progressing with low-cost alternatives. However, I guess our new health care bill will kill this type of innovation. Now why would you say that our new health care bill would kill this type of innovation? As a professional that has been in the health insurance business for over 25 yea...

Something must be wrong with my S9 as the buttons do not make any sound at all. I thought this was normal - no sound - now after reading these posts I think it is suppose to make a click sound - I can feel a click but no sound. I won't complain as I do not need the sound the click feel is all the fe...

Both the S9 and PR1 are great machines, I do not believe that you can go wrong with either machine. Both machines are exceptional quite but the S9 is as Dog Tires said unbelievably quite. I have both but really like my S9 because of the climate control - no rainout = which was a major problem with m...
