Re: ResScan Software Download

Can I get a copy also? I'm finally getting a machine that records data so it will be great to see how things are working.

Thanks

Re: Trying to get new CPAP

For the record, WHO told you that? Why should your insurance care which model you get? They pay by the billing code.....E0601.....doesn't matter if it's the bottom of the barrel or the top of the line......they will pay ONE amount. It's the DME whose profit margin will vary according to which model...

Re: Trying to get new CPAP

My insurance treats a high-end APAP just like a no-frills CPAP. But I have a 'script that specifies "fully data-capable APAP". That should be your next step.

Re: How to remove sleep study goop from hair

Mine came out real easy. The tech said it was water soluble so I wiped it of with a wet paper towel after I woke up. After reading other people I am glad it was not a hard glue.

New CPAP user

Hi everyone, I am a new user of a CPAP (10 days as of last night) and I had a question about my machine. I have a Sleepeasy with a built in humidifier. On the patient data screens I have a few numbers that I am confused with. One is 'Blower Hours' which it at 69.4. This makes sense since I have used...
