Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

Anyone have fond memories of getting vaxxed in this way? Occasionally would get you from both sides at the same time. Don't flinch!! :mrgreen: I got vaxed. this way when I got drafted into the Army. Then I went overseas and because they lost our records we did it all over again. They didn't even as...

Re: Leak Rate Not Registering On AirSense 10 Autoset

My error in semantics. You are right that the measurement is in liters. Every
thing else I wrote is what occurred on my unit.

Leak Rate Not Registering On AirSense 10 Autoset

I had an odd thing happen on my ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset for Her. The leak rate stopped reporting and was stuck on 5%. I called ResMed and they gave me a bunch of nonsense which was untrue. They told me that the machine would only register rates above 5% which I knew was misinformation as my unit ...

Re: Travel with CPAP - bags, etc

I've traveled many times with my CPAP and never had a problem. I use a Platypus water bottle see link below which is almost unbreakable as I have stood on one and it didn't pop a seam. I fill it with distilled water put it in a one gallon freezer bag for safety and pack it in in my checked on baggag...

Re: Acceptable leak rate?

I had an acceptable leak rate but I would wake up during the night when the pressure would get up close to the maximum pressure setting (close to 20cm/h2o). I have a ResMed AirSense Auto for Her (I'm a male) so I set it on the For Her setting and I do not get awakened during the night. I do notice a...

Re: OT--Shoulder Surgery.

I have had both rotator cuffs repaired 15 to 20 years ago. I had different surgeons for each. One was arthroscopic and the other was open after trying arthroscopic. Both doctors told me it would be 6 months before I could play golf again and they were both right. It is very important to do the range...

Re: First time cruiser - first time with CPAP to fly...thoughts?

Take your cpap as it is not a problem getting through security at the airport. Most of the time they don't open it or if they do, I ask them to use clean gloves and wipes. Has never been a problem and I have taken my cpap through airports since 2010. I've also gone on a number of cruises. I suggest ...

Re: Your experiences renting a mini travel CPAP?

Thanks for the replies. I'll take my full size. Have you ever been asked by airlines or customs for a note from your doctor that you're authorized to have the CPAP? Thanks I've done a lot of overseas travel and never once have I been asked for a note for authorization. I do have a medical device ta...

Re: Oscar/SleepyHead Missing Data

I imported my data from the last month and both Oscar and SleepyHead showed "no data available". However both are showing data from the last three nights. Has anyone had this problem? If it weren't for the data being there for the last three nights I would have assumed the SD card was at fault. Can...

Re: Printing report from Oscar

Is anyone having a problem with the print function in Oscar? When I try to print from Oscar the report is so small you need a magnifying glass to read it. When I was printing from SleepyHead the report filled the page and there was not problem reading it. I don't know if there is something I can do...

Re: Printing report from Oscar

Printing using SleepyHead is fine, but when I try to print from Oscar I have a problem with font size. I worked around the problem by taking a screen shot and printing from preview. This is a little round about but it does work.
