Re: SD card error

Did you accidentally move the write protect slider switch? It must be up for the machine to be able to write to it.

Re: Is it normal my P10 nasal pillows are this noisy?

I find anything in front of the vent will increase the noise my Swift FX makes. Pillow, covers, or short hose cover slipping down too far.

Re: Travel ?

I believe you are allowed a carryon, a personal item, and whatever medical device(s) you need. When a TSA agent wanted to swab my machine for explosive residue with the same gloves she wore when handling other's dirty underwear (I assume), I asked her to change to new gloves. She complied with my re...

Re: boiling cushions

The baking soda helps the water foam up and boil over, while ensuring the resulting mess is increased. :cry:

Use the Mini with an adapter, or use a Breas Z2 with no adapter needed.

Re: "First Drug Therapy for Sleep Apnea"

A long way to go to get to first. So far, it's only FDA approved for diabetes and obesity. If you want it for OSA, you'll need to find a doctor willing to prescribe off label; and then your insurance won't cover this expensive medication. If you happen to be obese with OSA your doctor may accommodat...

I have my doubts that would work with either old or new style P10 headgear.
The author stated it was for a P10i to keep the rear strap from sliding up. I can confirm it also works with a Swift FX.

Adventures with boiling

My Swift FX pillow began to leak around the edges. I could get it to stop, but the slightest movement caused it to start again. Tightening the strap helped only minimally. I pulled out my new spare and all was well. Before sending the old off to the landfill, I decided to try a rejuvenation techniqu...

Re: Lowenstein CPAP Machine

Digital alarm clock display on a machine that already tracks time? Hose connection and touch screen on the front? 400mL humidifier tank? Quiet? Advanced algorithm? five year warranty? What are they thinking?

Too bad the price is so high and they aren't available in the States.
