Re: ResMed S9 Elite...Now Autoset

Had my one month check up. Dr. authorized an autoset S9 and was puzzled as to why I did not get the Autoset from the start since it can be operated in "manual mode." I've been using the autoset for a week now and it works great. VVV, I would go back to the sales person or whoever and insist on an au...

Re: Which ResMed nasal mask for CPAP - Need opinon

My second night with the Mirage FX went much better as I thought it would. Good AHI and the leakage was in the "excellent" range. I'm curious how the rest of your nights went with the Mirage FX. Like I've posted, it's working well for me. However, I am noticing an occasional awakening at night with...

Chin strap worked well. No dry mouth in the morning. So far so good.

Re: Which ResMed nasal mask for CPAP - Need opinon

Again, I'm thrilled to be part of an online community that is so responsive and attentive. Briefly, 1. The "dollar store" reference was sarcasm, insinuating a very cheap product. 2. Why ResMed? It seems that much of the input from online communities and other DMEs recommended ResMed. 3. I tried the ...

Re: ResMed S9 Elite

I 'drove' an S9 Elite for the first 9 or 10 months; and it was a great machine. I upgraded myself to an S9 Autoset as I was going on a weight loss program and wanted to make sure one fixed pressure didn't wreck my efforts, as weight changes are said to alter pressure requirements. I am happy with e...

Re: ResMed S9 Elite

Just got this machine a week ago. Included the humidifier, slimline hose. Against DME's advice, I will be monitoring my own data with ResMed software. Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any ResMed S9 Elite users out there, and if so, what is your experience with it (Pros and Cons) and tips or sugge...
