Re: BiPAP autoSV Adv 60 Srs filters blowing out

Have you been maybe coughing a little more lately? Coughing when wearing a full face mask seems to create some back pressure that will cause those filters (which are already just barely staying in place) to go flying out. Take a skinny rubber band and wrap it around the machine and filter to help i...

BiPAP autoSV Adv 60 Srs filters blowing out

I've been using this machine over a year. I recently switched from the Quattro full mask to a ResMed AirFit F20. Now the filters keep coming out of the machine. They are halfway out to completely missing by morning. Any ideas why this is happening and what to do to fix the problem?

Re: Full face masks

I have been using a ResMed Mirage Quattro for years. I don't know what changed but I'm having a lot of trouble with air leakage blowing in my eyes the last couple months. I don't know if they are making the gasket slightly different or what. I do know it is getting to be a problem for my eyes. Any ...

I get leaks even when the headgear is so tight it is uncomfortable.

Re: Full face masks

Is your mask older, less resilient even after using baby wipes daily (or weekly as some do)? Have you gained even a little weight, or lost some = your face is the first place to know it. The masks start leaking when a week or two old. I clean with baby wipes about every other day. I have lost some ...

Re: New machine ResMed Aircurve 10 question

I finally got my new machine. They did not send an Aircurve 10 ASV. The sent a BiPAP Auto SV System One 60 series. How do these compare?

Re: New machine ResMed Aircurve 10 question

The nurse at my doctor's office has assured me she is specifying an Auto SV machine when she called me today. I talked to the supplier this evening. They claim the order parameters they are getting would be for an ST and not an ASV machine. I asked if she is saying my doctor's nurse is lying to me ...

Re: New machine ResMed Aircurve 10 question

Talked to the doctor and they say they specifically said an Auto SV machine. They called the supplier. They supplier says they can reprogram the ST to an ASV remotely. Is that possible? Geez....can you get another supplier? If they really believe they can do that they are so stupid they don't have ...

Re: New machine ResMed Aircurve 10 question

Your doctor may be okay with this machine depending on your history and what was found on your sleep study and how he wants to deal with things. Or he maybe was wanting auto for an option in case fixed didn't work out so well. It's best that he be made aware of what this machine will and won't do a...

Re: New machine ResMed Aircurve 10 question

Might have been nice of them to call the doctor and clarify the RX since there was some ambiguity there. I call the supplier then call the doctor then call the supplier, etc., etc.. I should be on someone's payroll... This has been ongoing since last November. I ended up having a new sleep study do...
