My mistake it is acutally the 200 series that has the usb technology stick. But as to the question of exhalation releif. I am very impressed with their technology it is not similar to resmed or respironics. F&P from their website has "The strongest differentiator in the SleepStyle™ 200 series is the...

fyi fisher and pykel is coming out with a new model that includes a usb memory card and online uploads done by the patient for the patient and caregivers. I can get the release date if intrested. It is in the 600 series. I am impressed with their new model. They have always done well with humidifica...

In one sentence the patient is the customer who gets to choose their DME. Then it's the doctor who chooses which DME to "use". You contradict your own point, if you indeed have one. And, if you are going to assume that the patient does not maintain their water chamber by cleaning it, then it could ...

Gumby, I've been lurking in a thread or two for info on this new AutoPAP I got (because it's apparently the new hotness from PR), and didn't sign up yet. Telling me to lurk more is like saying "Don't ask questions, just listen for a year like I did", and that's just not me. I have questions about v...

I think you should have the follow up and definately, share your concerns. in the 5-9 year old range normal amount of rem sleep should be about 20% in a normal sleep event. You must take into consideration a sleep study is a very minute glimpse of our sleep patterns, and many factors affect sleep......

Quote...."The problem is that as customers, we aren't really allowed an option of where we shop, unless we are paying cash. The B&M DMEs know this, and therefore, in general, have no reason to provide optimum service, because they know we'll be back no matter how horrible they are." You are a custom...

Fine i get it, i don't get the open arms around here but there has been some pretty unwelcoming remarks made to me. I have only commented on three topics and in my original responses i never talked down to anyone, i merely offered my advice. I did point out that i was a RRT because in one topic it a...

you know i would not have spent 4+ hours today answering and responding to questions and comments if i didnt care. I hope that is evident and i can spend more time helping than defending myself. I really feel cpap has always been my specialty and i love what i do, i may just have to start my own blo...

i have been posting all day, defending myself and have really tired. so yes i have typos my apologies. i was only stating that yes because the oxygen with out the bipap is 70% he definately requires it and anything less than 92% is unsafe and not what we like to see in general. i hope that makes sen...

So, I'm going to ask you: just what DOES my brick-and-mortar DME offer me that my on-line one does not? Its unfortunate that so many of you have had bad experiences, i assure you we are not all the same. It is just like doctors they are not all created equal. In my city i know we have a least 200 if...

unfortunatly im not sure how much longer i will be posting as this is my first day and i have had a beating from a number of your fellow users. accusing me of psuedo-concern, being high and mighty, and the latest my grammar skills. Really!!!

I think that is very natural for a practitioner to come on here and scream STOP what are you doing. That was my first response. I restrained myself and offered other advice. There is a reason all states require Licensed therapist to set up and adjust respiratory equipment. All therapies have indicat...

your right i should have handled that better, but was just dumbfounded to be accused of being psuedo-concerned from a few lines. I am sincere in all my responses and there is no value in me not being sincere as none of these people are my patients and what you do or dont do does not affect me person...

We all have to accept assignment or we can not bill medicare period. I understand the cost sometimes seems outrageous for cpap machines, but you must understand the cost of doing buisness and having a physical location with employees compared to a internet site which you can not be sure who is on th...

I guess i was suprised at the response i recieved i did not mean any ill will, just trying to help.

Thanks
