Re: reliable approved sources

The first rule with Apria or most other DMEs is NEVER GIVE THEM A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD!!!! I have them bill me, then have my bank mail them a check. That way they have no access to any of my personal accounts. I recommend keeping one or two spares of everything you use. Stuff is guaranteed to break ...

CMS 50i VS CMS 50F

I ordered a CMS 50i from Amazon (my forth CMS50i in 15 years) which arrived today.
But, what arrived was a CMS 50F.

Neither is currently available at Amazon today.

Should I keep the CMS 50F or return it.

I do use 3 liters of nocturnal Oxygen and an Aircurve 10 ASV.

Re: Bipap Auto or Bipap ASV

Not an expert on this. I have never used a BiPap Auto. I have been using an ASV for about 12 years now. First insurance bought me a Philips which I used for about 5 years. I still have it. Than I bought a used Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV Used out of pocket. This has now replaced the Philips as my travel ...

Re: OSCAR and Snapdragon X processor

Turbo Tax is the main program remaining that keeps me tied to Windows.
I replaced MS Office with Libre Office decades ago.

Re: OSCAR and Snapdragon X processor

Depending on what software you use besides OASCAR, you may be able to save a few bucks by installing Linux on your current computer. There are many flavors of Linux available, including a few that look like Window. The software is a free download and usually includes an office program Libre Office w...

Re: Recommended air filter for ResMed 11 ?

I change filters about once a month.
I bought 60 packs on Amazon for about $17 for 60 packs for my Aircurve 10 ASV and my Wife's Airsense 11.
I don't remember the brand. Just look for the ones with 4+ stars and thousands of revues.

I only use Hypoallergenic filters.

Re: Where should I purchase a BiPap ASV?

That is exactly the kind of deal I was recommending.
I have 2 that I bought used. One is about 2 years old and is my daily driver, the other is 6 years old and is my travel machine. I am using it now since I am traveling.

Re: ‘New’ Machine - CDMA type, not 4G?

That is why newbies need to come here and get educated on what to look for BEFORE they visit their first DME. You need to be aware that if their lips are moving they are lying. You need to be aware that they will sell you the machine and supplies with the lowest cost/highest margin for them. You nee...

Re: Where should I purchase a BiPap ASV?

There is currently only one brand I would consider, Resmed. Respironics shut down their US operation after their massive recall. I would only use something that works with OSCAR. Do you happen to use nocturnal Oxygen like I do? If so you will want the Aircurve 10 ASV, not the Aircurve 11 ASV which i...

Cudos to OSCAR developers

Yesterday I visited my pulmonologist for a PFT. I handed him a copy of several OSCAR reports. He was amazed. He asked what kind of CPAP machine I was using and where I got the software to create these reports. At the end of the visit I started to tell him where to get OSCAR and that he might want to...

Re: ASV

I went from S9 Autoset straight APAP To ASV PRS950 I think.
The past 6 years or so I have been using an Aircurve 10 ASV.
I don't remember any transition issues. Do you remember what I had for breakfast today?

Re: Be careful and track how long you pay medicare copay

I have read the EOC for my advantage plans (several companies) since 2010. Only the first one was caped at 13 months. I have had MANY discussions on this topic with many different companies as I discuss my annual decision making process with the top contenders.

Re: Resmed AirSense 11 Autoset For Sale

I understood everything you said except, what are
Three (3) Velcro Packets (unopened).

Also why are you selling a machine that has only been used for 8 or 10 days?
