Re: Inspire Remedee' UPPP Surgery, New Mask
Correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't the qualifications for Inspire implant require that one's average pressure be 15 or over. Mine is 9 - 10.

Re: Resmed N30i Cushion change in Material?
I use the N30i and have several left over from when I first received it.
The only difference I can see is that the newer one have air vents, as seen below.

Re: FDA Authorizes OSA Appliance to Wear While Awake
Well, when I saw the reaction in the ad, I was full of hope that my wife would react the same way. (at my age i need all the help I can get) But when I asked her how it would look on me, she said "If you come at me at night with that thing in your mouth, you'll be on the couch in the living room." S...

Re: Philips Respironics Recall V2.0 Questions and Answers
I received a new Respironics Dreamstation yesterday. What am supposed to do with it? Remember that last August I bought a new Aircurve 10 Vauto after getting my prescription for it from my sleep doc. for which I paid for myself. I had 9500 hours on my old Dreamstation, and was hoping to get to over ...

Re: Why doesn't everyone use a cervical collar?
I may just use this new device, and see if it suits me. I sounds like it may be useful, since my SA is fairly mild. The FDA has approved it and says that it will do marvelous things for those like me and others, such as stopping snoring and so forth. Of course it won't add much to my sex appeal. How...

Re: Ordered New Machine and Thank you
I'm with you on that. They promised me a new Resmed machine (what I was prescribed) in January, when my 5 years are over. So, I'll use the machine I bought for a backup. My Dreamstation as well as my backup, a system one 750P were both in the recall. I was very upset and saw my doctor immediately, o...

Re: Ordered New Machine and Thank you
My experience was similar to yours. The recall sent me into a "tail spin" 6 weeks ago. I immediately made an appt with my sleep doc who prescribed a Vauto Aircurve bilevel, and he wrote the pressures on it. With prescription in hand, I was not able to get a machine anywhere in this city, because of ...

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
Yeah, amen to that. I just found out the 5-year rule does NOT apply if there is a recall. I went to FOUR DME's the very day the doctor gave me my prescription, and they all gave me the run-around. I called Medicare, and talked to a person, who confirmed that I should have gotten my new machine witho...

It been 3 weeks since my sleep doc gave me a prescription, and I still have not gotten my new machine. I went to FOUR DME suppliers to try to fulfill my prescription, and I got a...

Re: ResMed AirFit N30 Nasal CPAP Mask
I've used it for 4.5 years, and its my favorite. Its easy to clean, easy to take off and put back on the head gear.
Of course I'm a nose only breather, and also sleep on my back. (I've tried other positions, but no luck)
If you're similar to me, then you will love it.

Re: Purchase new machine, send bill to Medicare
Thanks, that's good advice. I found the number for the Virginia Medicare, and have already asked the question by email. I hope to get answer in the morning. Or I may call back as soon as possible. If I may ask, since I haven't used a Resmed, (and I'm reading the prescription as I type this) the doct...

Re: Purchase new machine, send bill to Medicare
I was told by my DME that I'll have to wait until January 2022 to get a new machine. I have my prescription in hand, but I have to wait for the end of the 5 yrs, which occurs then. But what am I going to do for the next 7 months? I'm in sort of a quandary, with only able to use my own wits, I guess....
