Re: S9 Autoset SC Card Capacity?
I'd like to say thank to the OP and those that have responded to this thread. I've been doing it all wrong and just assumed that everything was working correctly because I'd still see some of the detailed charts in days that were older. First, I was using the overwrite, rather than discard during up...

Re: Lower AHI on Nasal Pillow than Full Face Mask.
I used the Swift FX for 2 nights so far and got the lowest AHI ever on both these nights....... I'm kind of new to this whole CPAP/VPAP system, but I'm totally engaged in the improvement process. Since starting on March 6th, I've managed to obtain 2 different full face masks, 2 different nasal mask...

Re: Lets talk about our avatars!
I play with photo editing and thought I'd take my favorite M&M dude and put him in a CPAP setting... It's also a fun way to show the equip used.

Re: ASV users - which machine?
I bought a used ResMed VPAP Adapt SV Enhanced to use during a couple of months until the S9 VPAP Adapt came out. The older VPAP Adapt SV was very good, but I have to admit the S9 version is wonderful. There's no need to match the mask to the machine (called a "learn" cycle) and you can use just abou...

Re: Was anyone else not allowed to talk to their sleep doctor?
I've been hit with the same as Janknitz (note below). It's like a patient mill. I was sleep tested and provided a machine (by the one and only company they will work with). The machine did not correct my issues (CPAP as provided when VPAP was needed) and when I called the DR to discuss 30 AHI on CPA...

Re: a new sleep study with ASV
I saw my sleep doctor yesterday, and she suggested a new sleep study with an ASV, which if you can believe it, was then scheduled for the same evening! Talk about fast service! At issue was whether straight CPAP has been quite good enough....... As for the study itself-- I have to say that I did no...

Re: Looking for a used machine
I'm new to this forum and was referred by someone on another site. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few months ago, and my state insurance won't cover my machine, as they don't cover durable medical equipment. I'm looking for a used machine so that I don't have to pay Walgreens $110 a month for t...

I guess they didn't want me to have it or they wanted to keep it for their reference.

Re: S9 ASV clinicians manual & ASV help please!
I am awaiting my new S9 ASV - hope to get it in the next week or so. Sorry to be so long in responding to your nice post but the "ASV" approval with Medicare was sketchy there for a while so I didn't want to get my hopes up. Things are looking good now so I am getting excited. I got my new S9 VPAP ...

Re: Whoppers I have been told from DME, techs, etc
I have to post this one, even though the problem was mine..... First the set-up: I got a call from my DME about a necessary change-over to a new type of machine (CPAP to VPAP). It was a long process, as my insurance company was initially going to purchase the machine outright and before a change cou...

ResScan Data and the new S9 VPAP Adapt
It may be too early to ask questions, but I'm seeing some information missing from the S9 VPAP data that previously included in the RedMed VPAP Adapt SV uploads. I wonder... 1) Is this data necessary (I felt it was and used it to track presures) 2) Does anyone know how this might be turned back on? ...

Re: Where to sell a ResMed VPAP Adapt SV
Boy and how! My "backup" machine (a used one) costs more than most new CPAP and BiPAP units. But it's great that I got a backup, since my beloved VPAP Adapt SV has started a "whining" sound when the fan runs. So, time to chat with the DME and see when I can get a new unit. Let me know if your DME s...

Re: Where to sell a ResMed VPAP Adapt SV
Not to take away from Madalot -- but have you considered keeping it as a back up machine? If it were me, I would want the peace of mind knowing that if my main machine went out of order I would have a way of receiving treatment while repair/replacement was being done on it. I have for sure, but in ...

Re: Someone please give me update on flying with CPAP
Thanks. Venice. Camera is a DSLR so too bulky to fit in with laptop. I guess I could put both in a trash bag for travel. I use duel camera/computer bags... To start, I bought a small DSLR camera bag that fits just the ResMed S9 unit perfect (no humidifier or power cord). This provides great padding...
