My husband got the Resmed 9 Elite with climate control. H5I humidifier, heated hose and the Swift FX nasal pillows. I have an older Resmed 8 Autoset and have the software and cardreader. I know how to download my charts and grafts. His uses an sd card. Will the same software work? mine is about two ...

ewww! tapwater? i hope thats a joke, lol. i know that somebody died from legionnaires disease using tapwater in their humidifier at some hospital. How do people get Legionnaires' disease? People get Legionnaires' disease when they breathe in a mist or vapor (small droplets of water in the air) that...

Funny you should mention it. My unit has shut off on me three times but I can always hit the restart button and then I don't have further problems that nihjt. It usually occurs at the end of the settling time.

As far as water in the humidifier my book says water. It does not specify tap or distilled. My husband who is a clinical engineer who maintains and reairs hospital equipment. Ventilators and Bipap units included says that tap water is fine. The only part that is getting into the air is the water its...

If you read their add it says NOT TO TREAT SLEEP APNEA.
I'm afraid people might think it was a substitution for their machines.
Its not its an attempt to keep the airway open to prevent snoring not apnea.
I say avoid it.

Lookslike I have a defective unit. If I fill mine even an inch it flows water out the bottom. I'll be calling my DME on Monday to get a replacement.

I have the Rescan 8 autoset with humidifier. After taking it apart the first time to clean the reservoir I have had problems with it leaking when I fill it. I always place it in my machine then pour in the water and it starts flowing out the two holes in the bottom. I need to snap the lid down quick...

The idea of obstructive sleep apnea is not new to the medical community. What is changing is the profile of the patient disgnosed with sleep apnea today. I believe alot of the people who had sleep apnea are not in the nursing homes because the health complications caused an early death. I had no ide...

My main concern is the increase in pressure. Is that normal? Would the pressure rise even more if I raise the lower range higher? I have been having the same results. Initially I was set at a straight 10. I couldn't tolerate it related to all the air I would ingest, so I set a range. I started at 6...

I had some issues sleeping related to a problem child and the Doctor prescribed Ambien. I thought I was sleeping great. THe problem was I wasn't remembering the things I did when I woke up. Things like the "Great Sex" my husband talked about the next morning and I was wondering who he had it with be...

It's good to see the suggestions out there for this problem. I was beginning to feel as a newbie I was destined to waking up with a cold wet nose. I know it means your dog is healthy but makes cuddling in the morning strained. Will be looking into the hose covers as well. Does the heater hose work w...

I have just started with the ResMed s 8 Autoset II series. We are looking at getting the ability to pritn our own reports at home. Do I need a card reader and the software? Is the software ever available other than for the $190.00 from the company? Will my computer card reader work or do I need a sp...

Thanks for the warm welcome and information.
I have learned alot today and know I still have alot to learn.
I am working on looking into getting a card reader for my machine so I can make full use of its functions.
