Re: How long do you use your mask before replacing the seal ?

It says that BBS will replace pieces of the mask every few months, but I rarely change. Last time I changed masks was when the elastic woreout, and then the mask was out of productions. Now I have a "NEW" one (a year old now) and it ain't as nice as the orignal. And by what you all have told me my C...

What are all the abbreviations?

Every topic I read here has tons of Abbreviations. What are they all for. Since I'm new here, I figure I would ask. Been using my CPAP machine for years and now am just learning I can check my setting on how the setting are. How about a total list so I can catch up. thanks.

Re: Sinus infections with CPAP machine Help!

ACV - Apple Cider Vinegar. As for the amount. I found most are doing 1 TSP to 8oz of water. This is the one I have been doing and it works. UPDATE: tried adding ACV to my Humidifier So far so good, will keep you updated. Used same rule for ACV 1 to 8oz. BTW a humidifier holds 12oz if anyone is inter...

Fisher & Paykel HC220 CPAP

I have a Fisher & Paykel HC220 CPAP machine that a friend gave me. It works fine except, during the middle of the night a noise, more like a vibration comes up from the machine, up the hose, into the mask and right up into the bone in my ear. Like a high pitch wine. Does anyone else have this proble...

Now, I wear it a day or two and the sinus is infectioned. I drink a gallon or two of ACV and it clears it up. Looking fo...
