From ResMed's website: "How much storage do ResMed’s sleep therapy devices use on the SD card? It varies depending on the sleep therapy device. For example, on an _S9_ therapy device a 1GB SD card easily stores 365 days of usage data, 30 days of detailed data, and _seven days of high-resolution_ dat...

Perhaps what puzzles me is their saying "PS is fixed." My old machine was an auto bipap. It allowed I and E to vary as needed throughout the night. Independently. Sometimes my nightly avg would be 12/9 (difference of 3). Another night might be 11/7 (difference of 4). On the AC 10 Vauto, if PS = 2, d...

I've used a Respironics bipap for many years. I just got my first ResMed, an Aircurve 10 Vauto. I'm trying to understand the new terminology. ResMed says: "Automatically adjusts pressure in response to flow limitation, snore and apneas" Sure, OK. "pressure support (PS) is fixed throughout the night ...

> The machine erased the data and reformatted the SD card.

Does ResMed have a max size limitation on SD cards?

Depending on the size of the SD card, does Resmed automatically choose the right format (FAT32, exFAT)?

I use that thin, narrow teflon tape. It's commonly used on threads. It allows the swivel to turn easily and quietly.

This is a common problem which most FFM wearers have to deal with sooner or later. When I started out I had a real problem with nose itching. It's much better now. I infrequently have a problem any more. It's because I do _all_ of the things mentioned in this thread. Just one of them wouldn't have f...

I guess I was surprised by the numbers. "_three million_ sleep apnea and respiratory care patients every day" 3,000,000 calls/day x 365 days/yr = 1.1 _billion_ calls/yr Are all these calls from xpap machines or are there other types of medical devices that "call home"? Are there other brands of xpap...

What kind of data do Resmed machines phone home with?

From the Resmed website: ATLANTA – November 1, 2016 ResMed (NYSE:RMD) today announced two enhancements to AirView, the world’s largest cloud-based remote patient monitoring platform that enables care teams to securely access therapy data from three million sleep apnea and respiratory care patients e...

So ... how do you wash a heated hose? (I've never had one.) Can it get wet when washing it? As opposed to just moisture in the air on the inside when you're using the humidifier.

Are the fine filter and the foam/reuseable filter on the Airsense/Aircurve the same as on the S9?

>> I guess you're saying that CPAP, at the correct pressure, can give you a better nights sleep than APAP? > Brief answer is yes, but that is just for me. The answer may be in the settings. For apap settings you have: min: too low a min could be a problem max: too high a max could be a problem start...

Thank you for the info. Looks like the Aircurve 10 VAuto is what I need. I have a question about hoses. Resmed has a "Slimline tubing". Is that simply a regular hose? Would the hoses that I used with the BiPap Auto M work? And there's a "Climate Line Air". Is that a heated hose? I've never had a hea...

Well, I'm about to change strategy. My old BiPap Auto M is on its last legs. Starts and stops itself throughout the night. 21,000 hrs, so it's about time for a new one. I had two goals: get a new machine and avoid a sleep test. I've had three tests (none recent) and as I get older they're more diffi...

Unplug your machine from the wall outlet. Plug in something like a night light to assure the outlet is working. Unplug the electrical cord at the end where it goes into the machine. Examine it for any (unlikely) problems. Plug it securely back into the machine. Plug the other end back into the wall ...
