Apps with Cpap machine

I am looking for a new machine. It seems that the dreamstation has an app that works with the iPhone. I am comparing the dreamstation to the resmed which does not appear to have an app associated with it, is this a reason to get the dreamstation over the resmed?

Can't read a book or sit through a movie

Hi, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 3-4 years ago. I have not had any real luck with the machines. I have tried several makes and I always feel uncomfortable and tend to rip them off in the middle of the night. The best one I found is the one that covers my entire nose as opposed to the nasal...

Re: Questions about my cpap machine and numbers

I had two sleep studies a while back. Maybe 2 years ago. Being that the machine indicates that I have a very low ahi maybe 4.0 is all i needs? For some reason I thought my machine adjusts itself. I recently sent in my card to the dme for analysis. Maybe they can tell me something.

Re: Questions about my cpap machine and numbers

Re: Questions about my cpap machine and numbers

Obviously I will ask my dr but if ahi is so low does that mean I don't need cpap?

where can I sell a slightly used cpap machine?

I have a slightly used cpap machine. I got a replacement with the flex option which my first one did not have. So I used it for a few months. Wondering where I can sell it? Ebay will not list them because they say it is a medical device which needs a prescription.
