I've got the M Series Auto with C-Flex (500m). My wife's biggest hope was it would be quieter than the old straight cpap Remstar I had. I was just happy that it was so much smaller for travel. After a month of use, I like everything about it with one exception -- the freaking noise. The exhalation s...

Wulf, I'll have to test this statement when I get home, -- I think when you plug in the power cord to the unit, it makes a single beep. Like I've said above, I feel the air stop, I hear the blower stop, I see the room darken (The 3 lights on top go out), a second later, I hear a beep, see purple/blu...

I was really hoping this was my problem, however, my Auto-Off was Off.

I guess if it keeps happening, I'll take it back to my DME.

Yes, thanks for the info, Rested Gal. I think I read your stuff 3 or 4 years ago when I first started CPAP. It helped then, too. By the way, I finally got my Two-Factor card reader. I think Obama was an unknown when I ordered it. I have been using it with Encore Pro 1.8x and Encore Analyzer. The Pro...

I have a one-month-old Respironics Series M C-Flex unit. Twice in the last week, I have noticed something odd about it. Both times, I had put on my mask and was still watching/listening to TV until I was ready to fall-off to sleep. On these two occasions, I noticed that my airflow stopped, I breathe...

My Auto is with C-Flex. My sleep study suggested I did best on 8cm straight cpap. I had my doctor prescribe an Auto so that I could, at least, have the option. He understood that I wanted a data capable machine, so he had no problem. It was my DME that set the machine to 4cm - 20cm with C-Flex 1 (of...

I just got a new APAP two weeks ago. I was excited. Since then, I notice that I am more tired than I have ever been on xPap. My DME set my unit for 4-20cm. I knew this was too wide, but I didn't argue. For kicks, I tried 4-20cm. I couldn't breath at 4cm -- I was gasping for air. The DME left the pro...

2004 study at 8cm constant cpap.

My new APAP indicates an average of 9.6.

Before I start a debate about the length, I checked back to the site in the US that is selling it. They do sell an 8' length, but it is comprised of a 2 foot insulated and 6' heated section. After reading that, I don't think I am interested in the 8' section. I am still interested in getting the 6 f...

I am thinking about getting the Aussie heated hose. Since I expect to pay about $150 for the 8' model, I would like to think it will last. It comes with a cover (at least where I am buying it), and I imagine it should protect the wrire from breakage. If I clean it periodically, it should remain "fre...

ALWAYS shut off your machine BEFORE taking your mask off (for trips to the bathroom, etc.). It screws up the leak data. Den Wulfman, I almost always use the PB Breeze Pillow mask. It shifts and I find myself pulling the front completely off my nose and readjusting it a half dozen times a night. Sin...

I was lucky enough to get a new M Series Auto. I am now collecting data that I couldn't on my RemStar Plus. I am wondering, though, how does one or two bathroom breaks a night affect the data being collected? Also, I was able to get a FP HC150 humidifier. The unit works great, but it creates the wor...

I've had a Cpap since 2005. I had my two sleep studies in November and December 2004. I had Cigna insurance. A month after my 2nd study, I got a box of Cpap stuff via UPS. For the two years I had Cigna, I had no follow-up contact. I bought all my own supplies -- I didn't know any better. I got a new...

It is a shame that whenever a celebrity dies, drugs are immediately suspected. I understand, though, that he did have a history of drug use (if not abuse). If the guy died from complications of legally prescribed drugs for an actual diagnosed problem, many will still remember him with a skeptic's ey...

I wanted to try Ambien, but my doctor talked me out of it. He went over the side-affects and potential for addiction verses the benefits. He said he would still write me a prescription if I wanted it. It just didn't feel like a responsible thing to accept with his warnings, so I declined his relucta...
