Re: REMstar Pro C-Flex+

If it's midnight and a DME tells you it's dark outside, go and check. HAHAHA! Thanks! I just called the doctor's office and they're going to check and call me back. Can I legally sell a mask on here? I have the Quattro FX I just got yesterday and a new Mirage Quattro that came with this machine - I...

Re: REMstar Pro C-Flex+

Well, the woman came by today and gave me a Quattro FX mask. She said the doctor prescribed this particular machine and they don't exchange them. So what I did is drilled a hole in the wall and ran the hose through it so that the machine can be in the other room making all the noise it wants while I...

Re: REMstar Pro C-Flex+

Thanks all for your replies. It's people like you who make this such a great forum. I called the DME and left a message asking to replace it with a ResMed S9 Autoset. I would certainly prefer the S9 (if only for the quietness that the System One is lacking). I'm at the mercy of the DME. She's suppos...

Re: REMstar Pro C-Flex+

Thanks, all! I should have added that it's a REMstar Pro C-Flex+ Auto IQ. The first time I used it (a one-hour nap yesterday), it was absolutely silent - not a peep. Last night, it sounded like someone was pushing a vacuum cleaner all night. And the humidifier LED would not go off. I checked the set...

REMstar Pro C-Flex+

I've been unable to find much info on the REMstar Pro C-Flex+ in this board, and the machine and humidifier are not listed in the machines for user profiles. I just got mine today and I don't know how long they've been out. Does anyone have info (clinician manual, etc.) on this machine? I have the E...

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

The higher pressure seems to cause more leaks. Plus, I'll be seeing the doctor for the first time on the 1st, so I want to have my numbers where he specified them so I don't hurt his ego. Once I talk to him and let him know that I understand quite a bit about it (thanks to this forum), I will move m...

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

Hi, DreamOn! Thanks again for your much-appreciated help. I'm using the Mirage Quattro™ Full Face Mask now and I've turned the pressure back down to 9, as I'll be seeing the doctor soon. I'm still going to insist that he let me have a ResMed S9 Autoset. He can set it manually if he wants, but I want...

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

It's been 2 1/2 weeks and I'm still dead tired every day. I feel that I was doing better without the CPAP, even though I know my AHI was over 100 without it.

Thanks, DreamOn. I'm looking forward to not being tired all day, every day. I couldn't even go workout today, I was so tired.

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

I would have preferred a hybrid mask, but I'm currently sporting a moustache so it wouldn't work for me at this time. Honestly, I'm pretty tired of all this CPAP stuff already and it's only been two weeks for me. But they said that during my sleep study, my AHI was 127. To me, that is pretty frighte...

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

Used a Mirage Quattro full face mask for the first time last night with the pressure set at 10 and EPR at 2. I got an AHI of 9.1 - not too bad for me. It was comfortable enough, woke up a few times from the noise of it leaking. The adjustment knob that sticks out at the top was bothersome, too. It w...

Re: What is AHI? Mine was 49.7!

Today I got a Mirage Quattro full face mask and it feels so much better. Can't wait to see how it works out tonight. Decided that the hybrid wouldn't work for me.

Re: Preheating... Does it still exist?

The S9 I've had for just a week and a half has warmup.
