Finding a good U.S supplier for the CMS 50 E

I'm looking for a trustworthy U.S supplier to buy a CMS 50 E from. John mentioned pulseoximeteronline.com. Has anyone made purchases from pulseoximeteronline.com, and do you recommend them? If no, do you have a recommendation?

thanks

Re: Anyone "take breaks" from their CPAP?

Dowen, Sorry to say it again, but you have no software/card reader and therefore cannot tell whether your CPAP therapy is effective. The pressure could be wrong and you could be having undetected mask leaks. This could be why you feel the same on days when you don't use CPAP - you could be having j...

Re: Anyone "take breaks" from their CPAP?

My condition is fairly mild and my pressure is low. For me the jury is still out on whether CPAP is all that beneficial. I definitely do Not feel transformed by it. Some nights I don't wear my mask and I can't say as I feel any different the next day than the nights I do. When I take a trips, which ...

Re: take off mask in middle of the night

I don't do that. But one night, I took my mask off to go to the restroom and then put the mask back on. But I didn't hit the start button on my machine. I just went to sleep with the machine off. And I will tell you, it is hard to breath through nasal pillows with the machine off. I kept waking up a...

Re: did anyone listen to Dr.Parks?

It was an incredible presentation. You really missed something special. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and now that ship has sailed.

Re: Nipple Grease...

I used it on my nares for my first month or so and then one day I didn't use it and I discovered my nose was just fine without it. I'm glad because that is just one less thing to be concerned about.

Re: Looking for a good quality Neti Pot....

I would start with the basic NeilMed kit that jnk provided links to.
You can find those kits in many mainstream drug stores. Have fun.

Re: i need to purchase a new mask

Not just Apria. My DME (local not a big chain) just billed my insurance $255 for Swift LT for Her (mask and headgear). I can get the same thing from here for $108. My DME charged me (not my insurance) a $125 "upgrade" fee for a Swift LT. I don't why that mask is an upgrade. It is not the most expen...

First night with a full face mask. Pleasantly surprised.

I've been using a swift LT since I started therapy a little over a month ago. Recently I purchased a Ultra Mirage FFM in order to have a second mask option. Last night I used it for the first time. I liked it! Which was a pleasant surprise because I see so many complaints about full face masks. But ...
