Re: Old-timer getting new machine. What is today's Cadillac?

There is a free software download floating around on the forum. I know with Resmed you can use SleepyHead, dunno about PR.

Re: Switching DMEs (yet again) .. this time Apria :( Any info?

I just got back from Apria and now I feel completely cheated. When setting up the appointment, I requested a machine capable of recording AHI, leaks, etc. and was told OK, the machine will do that. I ended up getting the PRS1 DS250 -- after being told multiple times it could record data and show me...

Re: Switching DMEs (yet again) .. this time Apria :( Any info?

Since July, so way below the rental->purchase period, unfortunately. My current DME does not take Cigna. I spoke to them directly and they said to find a new DME, then return the S9.

Switching DMEs (yet again) .. this time Apria :( Any info?

Before I get to deal with Apria, I was wondering if anyone has anything I need to know before I get to deal with Apria? My employer switched insurance companies to Cigna who only deals with Apria (through an intake company called CareCentrix), so not only do I have to give up my S9 Elite, I have to ...

Re: New PR System One CPAP -- How to see compliance?

So I finally got my machine... It's a Resmed S9 Elite. They stood me up on Friday (they do home delivery/setup, so I stayed home and they never arrived)... but the delivery guy called me today to say he can drop it off today. The S9 is a HUGE upgrade from the PR S1 brick I got. I already downloaded ...

Thanks everyone.

Re: New PR System One CPAP -- How to see compliance?

I called my sleep center and asked about getting a new machine, they fwd'd me to the DME with a specific number, I am already going to be on vacation tomorrow so I didn't have time to call the DME before I left... I'll call when I get back. What is the point of the SD card I have on the 150 if it do...

Re: New PR System One CPAP -- How to see compliance?

Well damn. I found out that another member on here (who is long gone by the looks of it) had a similar problem with my DME (Hampton Homecare)... http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t29333/with-prescription-DME-wont-upgrade-machine.html Not sure if it's even worth it to try to get them to budge, I'll t...

Re: New PR System One CPAP -- How to see compliance?

You need model DS350 which is the PR System One Pro with CFlex Plus to get full data as Cflame has said. Were you given the basic model under the impression it showed full data? No, I didn't realize that not all machines display this data. This is only my second machine. DME is about 1 hr away so I...

New PR System One CPAP -- How to see compliance?

I replaced my S8 with a Philips-Respironics System One CPAP (model 150) yesterday and while the machine is great, I can't figure out how to see my nightly compliance like I could with the S8... I'd love to see my leak rate, AHI, AI, HI, etc. I've gotten into the clinical menu but that didn't give me...

How are you supposed to use the Padacheek nose protectors?

I have a ComfortGel FF mask and I get red sores on the bridge of my nose. Through recommendations here, I picked up the appropriate Padacheek nose bridge protector but I CANNOT use it for some reason. I place it on my nose, I fold it inside the mask, I rest it along the gel, no matter what I get BAD...
