Patients shoyuld be taught as with many other medical conditions to monitor them selves and report. This whole issue of complience, well, if you dont comply,...

I ignoe the phone and let my machine get it unless it is something really important which I can see on call display. I would get call waiting for the cell phone. That way your husband will get all calls on his cell.

New Bipap Synchrony

I got a new second hand syncrony.

The blower hours says 2415, and the patient hours says 2417.

I dont understand the differance.

Does it mean it was only used for two hours?

Which one do I go by if I want to get it serviced?
