That makes sense I guess I underestimated the demand for masks and assumed that the prices would be much lower than retail.

I have a new mask on order from cpap.com. I guess I should have gone the cpapauction route for cheaper. Question: there are a lot of unused items on that site; why so cheap?

Hi All, In auto-CPAP mode, I was getting around a 1.6 AHI, pretty consistently. Recently, I decided to switch to a straight CPAP setting of 8 (which was usually the highest it got to in auto mode), because I had a couple of unpleasant wake-ups in auto-mode. Going to 8 lowered my AHI to .4! I upped t...

Buyer's Insurance isn't about returning a defective mask; it's about buying a mask, wearing it (and getting your cooties on it), and returning it for a refund. I assume that retailers don't want to have to eat the huge number of returns that would inevitably occur because masks are so tricky to fit....

OK, here's the error message I get when I try to reformat the card. Data is still being logged OK (Viewer is just 1 day off in its display of reportable dates), so no great rush to erase the card... Note I am running Windows XP using BootCamp on a Mac. ---------- Unhandled exception has occurred in ...

I have had good luck with the full face mask. I tried a nasal mask for a brief stint, and found it very hard to deal with. For example, when I would breathe through my mouth, it felt like a wind tunnel in my head. Eek! And I'm too congested to deal with taping my mouth closed. I am an occasional mou...

I've been CPAPing for a few weeks now, and at first, it was really hard to get used to the mask and feeling suffocated. One night I remember I woke up and I felt like I couldn't breathe, even though I was breathing fine. Now, I feel very comfortable in the mask, I actually like the air blowing on my...

I'm not on that computer right now, but the error wasn't informative. Something like the reformat failed, Abort or Continue? continue doesn't do anything. As I said in the other email, it does seem to be logging the detailed info after all; the date range appears to be a a day behind for the cumulat...

Thanks for the heads up about the bug, Mindy! How do you erase the data on the card? I didn't see anything like that in the viewer software. I have Adobe Acrobat, but not installed on my Windows partition on my Mac. My attempt to send myself the ps file over to my Mac didn't work; I'll keep playing ...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to all this, and I just got my Encore Viewer software. I successfully downloaded the data to my computer, and then replaced the smartcard in the CPAP machine for last night. But this morning, when I went to download the latest data, it didn't have any new data; just the same d...
