Thanks you D.H and palerider for taking the time to walk me through this. Again I apologize for the frustration and hope you all have a great weekend. Palerider, thanks for sticking with this thread even though I know you could have walked away several times. Julie, my wife called the travel agent, ...

Thanks everyone for your reply. I apologize if there was an error in communication on my part which has made some member very frustrated, I'm just trying to be very clear as not having a cpap operational while on vacation is not an option. palerider I know you'll get very frustrated again so I'm not...

Thanks for the replies Hang Fire and palerider. Ok, so it look as though all the options I've picked will work, but I best off to bring a 110 volt extension cord and plug into the bathroom 110 v to the CPAP machine? I figured if I purchased a 220 to 110 adaptor and placed it on the end of the cpap c...

Thanks for the reply D.H. At the end of the cord closest to the machine one side states 120V the other 240V. On the bottom of the machine it states AC; 100-240V 50/60hz, 110V 400hz, 2.5A DC: 12V, 2.5A. I'm not electrical savvy so I need to ask as I can't go one day without this machine due to severe...

I have a Resmed S8 Elite 11 which was purchased in Canada (my residence) and will be going to Cuba on Sunday. Questions; I believe this unit is 110/220V so do I just need an adaptor from the Resmed 110 to hotel 220V or can I just get an extension cord and plug it into the bathroom 110V plug. Do I ne...

I've used mine for 1 1/2 years now and it is starting to get loose but my PadaCheek side wraps help to hold it in place and my leaks are not bad yet so it is still going. I'd never heard of "PadaCheek", I'll have to do a search. Thanks OkyDoky. blood pressure is a dynamic thing, your bp while stand...

OkyDoky I wish the insurance would cover a AirCurve 10 VAuto BiLevel, but here in Canada, I believe they're around $3300.00 of which our healthcare covers $685. and insurance would cover $1500.-$2000.00 of the rest. In Reality, I'm trying for the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet™ with HumidAir, which if ...

Thanks once again for your replies. Julie I guess it's a toss up then, if I sleep on my stomach, it's not as comfortable on my body, but it's believed that my hypopneas levels will be reduced thus increasing my quality of sleep. If I sleep on my back, it helps reduce the blow out from the Swift FX, ...

Thanks for the replies. LSAT I just found out that the prescription that my family doctor gave me is not accepted so I have an appointment beginning of March to get a new prescription for a replacement. On my wish list is the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet, let's see what I'm actually entitled to re pre...

Details ResMed S8 Elite11 with ResMed Swift FX, Large Pillow. 5'11" @ 225 lbs. Diagnosed with 85.7 events per hour during sleep study 8 years ago. I sleep best on my back so the air pressure from mask won't blow in my wife's face and better on my body. I know it's best to sleep on my side but it do...

Hose_Head I believe I was the one that was confused as I thought Sunlife was going to pay for it all. From my understanding now the DME will do the paperwork to bill OHIP (ADP) and I will pay the difference and get SunLife to pay me 100%. I did run into a problem, I had two prescriptions, one from ...

OkyDoky

Thanks for the link, I'm going to take a look at the machine this week. As mentioned I'll look at the auto instead of the Elite.

Hose_Head Thanks for the reply. I decided to call this company in the next couple days to make an appointment to view and purchase a machine and mask. Below is what I got from there web site and from what I understand from Sun life is FPM Solutions, bill direct to OHIP, I pay the rest and get total...

OkyDoky Thanks for the reply, when you say the DME "will pull out the Clinical Manual from your machine", I'll assume it's software, not hardware? I'll also assume, they don't physically pull it, they just obtain the information which is what I'm able to do with my ResMed S8 Elite. With the help of...

stienman Thanks for looking into it for me, I thought it was just a color difference. OkyDoky When I read the part in #1 that stated "designed to help prevent arousals" I thought it was a funny joke, but reading on, it's not. Thanks as it sounds like it maybe the better machine, and here I thought ...
