Actually, this afternoon I was so tired I went to bed for an hour, and this time I held the mask further away from my face and probably looser at the beginning (the booklet says people often have problems because they fit it too tight) and it seemed to work really well. So maybe it will be fine afte...

@Jerseyguy - Thanks, that makes sense and explains my problems. I nearly left it unopened, but after reading about all the advantages claimed, I thought I should try it. I can see myself contacting them on Monday.

Hi, I just had my annual review in London (NHS hospital) and the technicians gave me a different new mask this time. I discovered that when I got home. I have always had a nasal mask but this is a small full-face mask. I am wondering if I will get used to it in the next few days or if I should ditch...

It really doesn't say it anywhere on the blower - I photographed it all on my phone. I now thought to change my profile, and my equipment isn't exactly listed there. It is called Auto A-Flex, not C-Flex. Maybe it's the System One REMstar 60 CPAP Auto machine with A-Flex. I am not in the USA. It woul...

I think I will leave this as it is for the time being. When I posted my question, I did not think I had a proper cold but something caused by the settings, but now I know I do. Last night I put the Hybernite on and set the humidifier to 5. I have not yet tried the classic settings. The result of thi...

Thanks, palerider. I hope I will get it right logging on next time. I may need to register my name as well, it appears.

There is a 3.XX somewhere, but that is all. And it does say 'Made in USA'.

Hi, I have been using a Respironics REMstar Auto A-Flex machine with heated humidifier for about a year. Previously I had a ResMed S8 for 5 years. I have had a cough for over two weeks and it is getting worse. It might have started as post nasal drip or some non-infection and I may be getting a cold...

It sounds weird to me, but I do have manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), just not for the head. It is quite true that the 'terminus' in the neck is where you start rubbing or tapping, as the centre of all lymphatic drainage. I know MLD for swollen arms after breast cancer surgery. In my case it's for t...

Thanks to palerider and JDS for further details. The SYSTEM ONE humidification is on. I haven't got the appropriate heated tube. At the moment I think I will drag some distilled water with me. The device belongs to the hospital so I am being over-cautious for one week. With the ResMed, it was lighte...

Thanks for replies. Julie, what do you mean by 'don't worry about distilled water for a week?' I simply want to leave the humidifier behind or turn it off, but I'm not sure what you're saying. Palerider, I realize I can experiment, but I need to know where the setting are before I can do that - henc...

I used to have a ResMed device. The hospital recently gave me a new RemStar with a humidifier. They gave me no manual, just said it was very easy and people don't read things. I downloaded the manual and now also the humidifier manual. As for the humidifier settings, the device manual says to see th...

Thanks very much, Pugsy and JDS74. I have been looking forward to trying Sleepyhead - I only had a ResMed S8 before.

My hospital (UK) just gave me a REMstar Auto A-Flex machine but there is no SD card in it. Can I use any SD card with it? If so, do I need to know anything about formatting it?

I would like to get the newest Resscan software too please.

I can't use Sleepyhead with my machine (S8) and had an older Resscan on a computer I've now removed it from.
