"Aftermarket" CPAP Cases

I am about to start traveling quite a bit this winter and will be traveling with my CPAP machine and its necessary components. My concern is that the case that I was provided with my machine is not as padded or as secure as I would like. There is quite a bit of room in the case for the machine to sl...

Re: Large Liberty test drive

I like to get on the list to try this out...i know the list has a few people in front of me, but I am really trying to find a new mask to purchase, before I get one of my winter sinus infections that will make my Swift LT almost useless...I will send a PM in the next few minutes...thanks!

Re: ComfortGel Medium FF test drive

Any chance of getting on this list to give this mask a shot? I get sinus infections in the winter and am looking for a better option than my Swift LT to have on hand before I get sick...hope to hear from you...

Re: Humidifier leaking?!

Just got the top cover seal and believe that tonight I will be sleeping in harmony with my humidifier.... I also believe, after all of the horror stories I have hear on this board, that I am very lucky to have a DME that is willing to help and go out of their way when they have made a mistake... Tha...

Re: New user, saying hello...with some questions...

Thanks for the advice on starting a new thread. I did a quick search and found the instructions to get to the clinician's menu, it's amazing what you can find once you know the right terminology! As for the card reader and software, I'm going to have to wait a bit for that. It might take a while bef...

Re: New user, saying hello...with some questions...

My pressure is set for 10cm. I tried the ramp feature last night, but only for 15 minutes. I will expand it tonight to 45 and see if that helps. I don't know why I didn't think of that! Thanks! As for the alarm, I think you bring up a good point. The reason I didn't have him turn it on is that I did...

Re: New user, saying hello...with some questions...

I am going to keep updating, because it feels good just to type it out...even if no one is listening... Had a great appointment yesterday at the doctor's office, the sleep tech, contrary to what he said on the phone, was encouraging about me checking my results and told me that if I couldn't get a r...

Re: New user, saying hello...with some questions...

I am meeting with my doctor on Monday and the DME later next week...from what I understand I can get a copy of my reports and prescriptions and do not have to settle on anything from the DME...once I hear wha...
