Hi,

My husband, after 4 years, found the activia --- only one that hasn't leaked thus far! he's at 15/11, supposed to be going up to 20/16, but was never able to get there, due to mask leaks! good luck! (when he first started the activia he was at 12/8) so far, so goo.

Those are relatively high pressures I believe. (My husband is supposed to be at 20/16) but still isn't up there, he's slowly getting there after years of trying different things, and masks since 2004.

If my husband, didn't have a patient advocat...

While researching, I found this article too, stating that CPAP and APAP do not both work effectively on heart patients (my husband has Coronory Artery Disease also.) I assume a Respironics BiPAP auto M series (set on certain pressures, now 14/10 --- is not in its auto, APAP mode? Correct? Is anyone ...

Thank you so much! The only difference I found was that on the prior machine, you had to hold down the 2 buttons, unplug it, keep holding them down and plug it back in --- this one, you unplug first (without holding down the buttons), then hold down the buttons and plug in. It worked well... I also ...

My husband was diagnosed in 2004 w/ severe OSA and some centrals.... after many masks, he's on his 2nd machine a Respironics BiP.Aut.M; he's supposed to be up to 20/14, but is slowly trying to get up there, as the pressure is too much. He's at 12/8 and wants to go to 14/10; this is a new machine and...
