Re: Canada supplier papsmart.com

I order from this one in Surrey, BC. They respond via email fairly quickly and have provided excellent service so far including returns. The prices are amazing compared to my DME: $100 dollars for a mask the DME charges $360 for and $899 for a machine the DME charges $3500 for. They also have a Bri...

Re: Is it worth buying a backup machine?

I would be nervous without a backup machine, and probably have too many backup machines. The machines do fail from time to time for various reasons. Gotta have a back up. Back up masks, tubing, filters and batteries, are good, too. The two 55 Amp hour deep cycle marine batteries I keep on a Noco ba...

Re: Is it worth buying a backup machine?

My A10 is from 2016 and the foam issue with Respironics and the fact ResMed urges customers to replace the A11 after 5 years I can't help wonder if it's still a good idea to buy a backup. That's quite a run-on sentence. Here's an attempt to answer what it seems to mean. Didn’t realize being a gramm...

Re: Is it worth buying a backup machine?

For those who use a backup do you replace it after 5 years? My A10 is from 2016 and the foam issue with Respironics and the fact ResMed urges customers to replace the A11 after 5 years I can't help wonder if it's still a good idea to buy a backup.

Pity, no update to implement split days like with Sleepyhead and the Air Sense 10.

Re: Are there any sources online to download CPAP firmware?

I ended up RMAing the Air Sense 11. There were several issues and they 'repaired' a heating issue. It had to go back for the updating issue. They couldn't repair it so they sent a new device with the message saying they couldn't repair it. Unfortunately, the replacement has a whistling sound heard a...

Re: Airsense11 Software update

Updates will come as long as you have a cell connection. This process does not end when the warranty expires. Rules in Canada are very different. Warranty is 3 years while in the USA and most other parts it's 2. Should your DME close shop, you're out of luck since 99% of the DMEs won't assist you u...

Re: Airsense11 Software update

Can anyone confirm if the software update (North American version) is for the life of the machine or just during the warranty? If you are asking whether the software reverts to the previous state when the warranty expires, the answer is no. No. I am not asking that. Will the machine continue to rec...

Re: Are there any sources online to download CPAP firmware?

I don't want to RMA my machine because the only issue with it is its not receiving any updates. It's been tested at the DME clinic and despite it being connected to cellular data the update isn't being pushed to it. They tried everything and the manufacturer said they want to examine it and assess ...
