[quote="bigk"]Technically you shouldn't use smartstart with a full face mask because smartstart doesn't work with the antiasfixia (damn spelling) feature of full face masks - IE you could suffocate if you use it with a FFM - like if the power failed for example. Additionally, the leak rate will prob...

[quote="bigk"]I think the Autoset Spirit II IS the best there is anyway and that the EPR on APAP mode is a sales GIMMICK for the USA to counter the a-flex of respironics. BigK shocked to hear that EPR is a sales gimmic. Sine you have the same machine as me, can you tell me that the mask setting is r...

[quote="Slinky"]Thanks, Ram. That is so good of you. But I didn't buy a pre-M Series Bi-PAP w/Bi-Flex. I was thinking of doing so as there are still some new ones for sale at cpap.com as a backup/travel bi-level. If you have not bought one already then it is not an issue worth pursuing and fighting....

[quote="bigk"]I have the Aussie Version of the Autoset II that doesn't have EPR in APAP mode. I have never felt any resistance at all breathing out (max pressure 15) so I am not surprised you don't see any difference in the EPR settings. I really do believe the EPR function in the Autoset II was jus...

My dad looked like an OX and a picture of health and suddenly dies of a heart attack at age 63 I am now 61 and look like a cow and have sleep apnea ( my dad snored too ) blood pres...

It is like leaky Breast implants but even more scary indeed

[quote="Anonymous"]Slinky, And yup Snoredog is right, the warranty starts when the machine ships from the factory. That is illegal in any country. Your warranty starts from the date you purchase the machine Shame on Respironics hiding behind distributors and not backing their warranty.. Slinky you s...

[quote="dsm"] The S6 was one great machine - very quiet very robust - should last for many years to come. As a simple straight Cpap machine they rate as tops. Good luck DSM Resmed S6 is still the best machine and I used it until last December with the Resmed Activa mask which again IMHO is the best ...

In the meantime: ResMed cpap S6 1. machine must be shut off 2. press START and TIMER 20 MINUTES buttons at the same time 3. switch on machine using master switch at the backside of the machine 4. using TIMER 5 MINUTES and TIMER 10 MINUTES buttons increase or decrease pressure (pressure setting is s...
