Hi Everyone, I have been using my S9 for about a month now. I started with nasal pillows but I could never keep my mouth shut even with a chin-strap. I am now using the Mirage Quattro which seems to be working pretty well, however I have a couple of questions. 1) Does anyone else feel like you need ...

So I just checked out the data from last night and my obstructive apnea index is 0.2, but my central apnea index was 3.0. Is that normal? 95th percentile of leak was 22.8 L/min, is that high?

Thanks,
J

Hi Everyone, Ok, so last night was my first night at home on my new S9 Autoset. I ended up getting it from a local mom and pop DME provider recommended by my doctor. They charged me the same price as what I would have got it for online except now I don't have to deal with reimbursement from insuranc...

Anyone know of good sites to get lower matching prices for cpap.com?

Thanks,

Hey Everyone, Thanks for the input on the papcap and the info on the redundant filters. As to the bacteria filter, it was one of the stock options for customization when configuring the S9, so I'm assuming it's compatible, could be wrong. Thanks for the info on the hose cover, and the idea that I ca...

Hi Everyone, So I'm trying to figure out what I want to order for when I get my prescription next week. I put together a shopping cart on cpap.com. I'm not worried about how much it costs as I figure it's a good investment and I'll be getting 1k back from insurance anyway. I'm not sure about what I ...

However, from an orthopedic standpoint it is very healthy to sleep on one's back... It may not necessarily be bad to sleep on your back, but from an orthopedic standpoint I've read that sleeping in the semi-fetal position is actually the best for your back. I sleep on my back most of the time anywa...

Hi all, Thanks for the replies. I got the joke . I think I'll check out whatever DME's are available and see what they offer me in terms of price etc., and if they can't help me I'll just buy it online. Benefit of DME is that I can exchange masks easier and I don't have to wait on shipping. If the D...

I would call them on 3-way

I called the sleep clinic today and they said that the study showed a titration of 10. Is this high? Are there restrictions on the mask I can use with 10 cm of h2o? They also said that the doctor has to score the study before I get a prescription, and they don't work on Fridays. I'll get it next wee...

I think I'll check out Apria, which is who the doctor's office recommended and see what kind of pricing they have available. If it's more expensive, less options, etc., I'll call my insurance company and confirm that I can buy and not rent the CPAP machine myself. I previously talked to them but the...

Hi Everyone, First real post here. I completed my initial sleep study showing an AHI of 28 slightly more than 2 months ago and the CPAP titration yesterday; they kind of dropped the ball. They said they should have a prescription for me within 5 days. I'm currently trying to decide whether I should ...

I believe that DME refers to a durable medical equipment provider.
