Okay, so I have replaced the mask seal and headgear and tightened the straps to what I consider optimum and I am still experiencing mask fit issues whenever I'm on my back. One thing that I have observed from the ResScan data is that for many nights, the only time I am experiencing AH is when I am o...

I apologize for not mentioning that after adjusting the time/day the incorrect reporting is no longer an issue. I don't try anything to keep me on my side because I have gained a lot of weight and, along with the fact my disability lies with severe back problems, I find that I need to re-position my...

The straps are okay. I spent over twenty years working jobs in which a respirator was required so I know that over-tightening can result in increased leakage. Laying down on my back, it actually takes a little effort to lift the mask off my face. That is why I am wondering if I am experiencing more ...

After quitting my job as a school bus driver in 2012, I stopped using my CPAP for various personal reasons. I have since moved to the Philippines and several days ago received my ResMed that I had my daughter ship to me. Surprisingly, all the settings, which I assume are kept via internal battery, w...

It seems like some of you are coming down hard on Physician for asking a simple question. There are ways of asking questions neutrally and as leading questions.

I also have had this problem with my Quattro and when I told the Doctor he prescribed 1) a re-fit and 2) nasal pillows as an alternate (even though I am a mouth breather). Here is my take on the issue. When I took over the respiratory program at a nuke plant many years ago all our full-face respirat...

It seems like some of you are coming down hard on Physician for asking a simple question. My response to the question is "probably yes." I was titrated with one and the prescription for my equipment included one. I don't believe there was any basis behind the decision other than the fact I am a mout...

Worked at a nuke plant in Health Physics for almost 18 years then got "downsized" out . Then worked a couple short term contracts at a VA hospital as an Industrial Hygienist and a RCRA auditor. Then worked as an Environmental Health and Safety Supervisor at a major silk screening facility until I wa...

I have had my S9 and H5i for two weeks now. After the first night I saw that the water level had dropped very little with the humidity control set to 3.0. I touched the heating plate a couple minutes after shutting off the unit and the plate was cool. I called the technician that showed me how to us...
