OK, I recently purchased this interface also. Mine also does not have the notch and I am having big time (I think) mask leakage problems. (My machine says 30 liters per minute and my AHI is up to 7 something.) I have found that if the nasal cushion isn't inserted into the frame all the way, there w...

Thanks for all your help, everybody! Apparently my DME people set my machine up so that these numbers can be accessed so that I could fill out the form regarding compliance myself without having to bring the machine in with the data card, having them read it, and then fill out the compliance form f...

7 Day Average AHI 7.7?
Hi Everybody, I've been on cpap for about a year and a half now. When I first started therapy I was a whole new person...a person who could go for days without NEEDING a nap and a person who didn't crash as soon as I got home from work. But lately, I seem to be turning back into that person. I was ...

Re: Would this be a viable rainout cure?
[quote="Dale92"]Greetings All I haven't posted in quite awhile but I have followed the postings occasionally. I was at my DME's recently and I have to admit that 99 out of 100 of his comments are usually useless but I would like your opinion on this one. He suggested I use the same product divers us...

[quote="xyz"]> I run a ceiling fan all night, though, because I can't stand the noise of listening to myself breathe in and out. Here's a trick. Sleep on your side (which is better anyway since it allows lower pressure) and use _one_ ear plug (in the ear that's "up"). The ear that's down is blocked ...

I've been known by my family for years as being someone who could and would sleep any chance I got. If I went to visit my sister in another state for her annual 4th of July party, I would be sleeping most of the day while everyone else was getting ready for the party. Driving to work, a mere 20 min...

........ I've had the humidifier dial turned to 0 and still get rainout. ...... At zero, the plate that warms the humidifier is turned completely off. As you increase the setting the plate gets warmer, the water gets warmer and evaporates faster providing more humidity through the hose. Your room t...

[quote="xyz"]I understand that you have the integrated humidifier with you Remstar. What is your pressure? Set the machine/humidifier lower than your head level. On the floor, or near it. Try to keep the hose in a more or less straight line down from your head to the humidifier, allowing condensatio...

Temperature?
Hello Everyone, I've browsed this site several times, but this is my first post. I'm amazed at how much you all know about your "numbers." I was diagnosed wtih OSA in November, 2006. In January or February of 2007 I was introduced to the wonderful world of cpap through the hospital's dme. My machine...
