Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

It takes no time to get informed with minimal internet search skill. Find this forum just few minutes in google. ResMed better pay attention to the real users and the power of information we acquire.

Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

Unfortunately alot un-informed users just take what the DME gives to them. That makes DME the 'customer' not the user. We certainly have a say what to take. I will not endorse their product online anymore. See no product list on my profile!

Re: cpap pillow users?

Depend on mask type, some people might find it useful. You may be able to make your own if you are creative.

Re: Resmed Not Allowed on cpapauction

I haven't purchase any ResMed product online, mainly because I am from Canada. Seeing what ResMed acting this way to controls/dictates its market share. Make me think twice about being their customer again.

Re: high altitude adjustments if any

You only need to worry about it only if you move to a location with very different altitude.

Re: Just got a look at my full sleep study. how bad is 74% SaO?

Hi John, it is off topic but what version of the software you are using? Some people might have problem with the software that come with the CD, so Kevin kind enough to post an older version (0.981?) on his website. However I have tried both the newer version (version 1 that come with the CD) and th...

Re: Just got a look at my full sleep study. how bad is 74% SaO?

I would definitely recommend an oximeter. At least it will easy your worry. I got one recently although my Sp02 is above 90, I still want to see how I am doing in deep sleep. Sleeping in a sleep lab is different from sleeping on your own bed. I purchased mine from : http://pulseoxstore.com. Kevin is...

I considered myself being lucky, before I got my machine, I found this forum. I kept reading and reading and read a lot successful stories and what problems some people are facing. I was prepared and ready to accept the challenge. I waited for several weeks for the new machine to come to the market....

Re: Will I ever get used to CPAP?!!

I think with the nasal pillow, it would be less complicate, as long as the nose fit, you are almost there. Don't have to concern about the facial features etc.

Of course, there could be issue with mouth breath. There are ways to deal with that don't we.

My 2¢.

Re: Will I ever get used to CPAP?!!

Less is more applied here to me. I am using the SwiftFX, it is so light and comfortable, after a little while I don't even notice it is on my face. Just like wearing my eye glasses. There was times when air-leakage troubles me a bit, but after some adjustment all went well. I am mainly a side-sleepe...

Thank you Chris for the information. Looks like this battery a bit too low in capacity for even a single night.
