Hi everyone, I just started re-using my cpap again(I know, I've been a bad girl ) I've had the same cpap since December of 2008 and honestly I've only used it a few times. I could never get a good facial mask that I felt comfortable with. Anyways, I started using it the other night and noticed a bur...

Follow the mask fitting instructions (in the manual) carefully - the placement of the top bar changes the way maks fits on the bottom. UMFF maual I find the pressure feels milder -- easier to breathe out against -- when I use the UMFF when compared to nasal pillows masks. Some people feel they need...

Well, I went from the ladies Resmed Swift LT to the Resmed Ultra Mirage Full Face mask, I was waking up with a dry throat and felt uncomfortable with the nasal pillows when using the Swift, plus I found it uncomfortable when moving around during sleep. I tried the Ulrtra Mirage Full Face mask for 2 ...

Time to re-place my mask(Mirage Swift LT for Her Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear), it's been a year and honestly I have been on/off when it comes to using my cpap machine. During my move it was mis-placed and when I finally got settled in, I just didn't use it as often as I found the mask I hav...

I don't know if it's me, the cpap machine, or what?...but I have not been able to sleep with it! I feel the cold air coming out of the hose but when I put the mask on, I feel nothing and discomfort, like I can't breathe. I was up until 1am last night trying to find out the cause, switching masks and...

Well, it's been about 3 weeks on my new cpap and really have not seen any improvement(i know it takes time)...I find myself fixing my nasal pillows as sometimes I just don't feel the air blowing, when I move during sleep there goes my mask moving to and I hear it leak, I have the resmed swift for la...

The sticker is on the bottom of the CPAP, not the humidifier.

The Dreamer.

exactly...when I separated the humidifier from the cpap, the stick is under the cpap not the humidifier.

I just noticed that the front of my new machine says respironics Remstar pro m series and a sticker on the upper back says the same but there is lower sticker that says mseries remstar/bipap??

What does this mean?

LOL!

Well, after so much pushing from hubby to go the apria appt. (he says I sleep soo good when I have the cpap)...I Went to my appt today. When I got there they pulled out a brand new in the box resmed escape, now remember I was guaranteed yesterday a remstar m-series pro or plus, I chose the pro. I to...

Yes, I have my actual prescription...they just have a faxed copy.

Funny, how I just got a call from them reminding of my appt. tomorrow...I asked the person about the machines and he told me, "you can have either the pro or plus, it's up to you, they are BOTH full data capable with smart cards and we have them in stock." He advised me that I really didn't need a f...

DF, DO NOT give up. Fight the fight. I went down the exact road you are on right now. I was going to give in, too..... BUT , w/the help and advice from all the great folks here, I fought for what I wanted and I got it....from Apria. Fight the Borg! Resistance is not futile.[/quote] What did you do t...

Now I'm upset! I called apria and they told me I am getting the respironics model DS200s(Respironics DS200S REMstar Plus M Series with C-Flex and SmartCard)...I was told yesterday it was the pro, now they are telling me I don't need that machine and if I did my dr. has to prescribe it on my rx!!! I'...

Go to cpap.com and check out the various CPAPs, especially the Respironics and Resmeds as they are the two most common brands local DMEs suppliers provide. Know which models are fully data capable so that you KNOW the one you are being offered is fully data capable. If it isn't you can then insist ...
