Re: Question about "status" info on machine

Thanks, Diboja. I was afraid it might not be recording anything and I won't have any data to bring with me to my Appointment in April.

Question about "status" info on machine

I have been using my cpap for about a month and a half, and when I look at the various areas under "Info" the status section reports "Unlocked, free space 100%". Is my machine recording my data to give to my sleep doc? Logic would have it that as time goes by that the card would have less space woul...

Re: Travel tips

My suggestion is to make a trip to your local pharmacy and ask them if you can have/buy a 16 ounce bottle that liquid prescriptions come in. I have 3 of them, so can carry enough distilled water for a week. I even had my doctor write a letter that I taped to one of the bottles that indicates that I ...

what to clean face with

I have ordered Reszzzs which hopefully will arrive soon. The problem I am having is that I wash my face right before going to bed and during the night my face gets oily again and sometimes my auto pap goes up to 15. When this happens I fight with my mask to get it to re-seal. Short of getting up and...

Re: What if We lose power? I don't own oxy meter...

I don't have an answer for you, but it boggles my mind that one of the companies that makes these machines hasn't developed a battery for back up.

how do you get all that data?

I am still new to all of this-started Dec 13th. I keep reading posts about various numbers and data. How are you getting all of that information? Is it automatically available or do you have to have a certain xPAP machine or ...? I will get info from my sleep doc in a couple of months, but until the...

90% pressure?

What does the "90% pressure" mean in my info data on my cpap? I have been curiously looking at the data there each morning, but I don't know what that information is telling me.

Re: Night #4 & Mask is making me NUTS

I am new at this too, and am not familiar with that mask, but it sounds like it is on too tight. Can you put a bandaid on your nose and still get a seal? I use the Quattro, and am finding it helpful to use the strap from padacheek to help hold the mask in place when I turn from side to side. Perhaps...

what do you use to clean your mask daily/weekly?

I am interested in knowing what products people use for cleaning their masks on a daily and weekly basis. Do you sanitize it in any way? What do you use to wash your face?

Re: Quattro FX FFM now available in US

Will be awhile till I can replace my mask, as I am only 2 weeks into Tx. It is definitely a mask I will consider for next time.

Re: CPAP vs APAP vs BiPAP (poll)

I am just getting started. I was on auto until I had my titration study, then put on CPAP at 10 after that. My follow up indicates I would do better to go back to auto until my body adjusts to the Tx. She said eventually I would probably be able to go back to CPAP. My machine has both on it.

Headgear

I am a newbie to CPAP. My mask came with a "medium" size headgear. It seems to be too big as it bunches up a bit in the back. Does this affect the effectiveness of the mask?
