Re: Anyone use an oximeter everynight? Oximeter advice please

Thanks again! That's good to know. I'm almost positive that these are the reasons I have a non-data logging unit now. I'm sure they sent me out with the cheapest unit they could. When I got my first CPAP it was an Auto unit (Respitronics M Series) and was told that it was a loaner until I got my tit...

Re: Anyone use an oximeter everynight? Oximeter advice please

Thanks for the reply Slartybartfast! I'll check out the Contec unit. That sounds like a reasonable way to handle the saturation reports. I've been told by a few others that I should get the S9 AutoSet model as well. I'll be talking to my supplier to see if they can get me that unit instead of the re...

Re: Anyone use an oximeter everynight? Oximeter advice please

I've used an oximeter 4 times, CPAP coming up on 4 years straight. I guess that sentence was a little confusing.

Anyone use an oximeter everynight? Oximeter advice please

I'm getting a new CPAP this week as my old one is not data capable and my doctor want's to start looking at the data from it. This has me looking at data logging and I notice that the S9 Elite I will likely be getting is capable of working with an oximeter. I figure any extra data I can gather is al...

Re: Going to a new machine- Resmed S9 from Respitronics M Series

Great info. That price is my full cost according to the medical equipment supplier. I think I get some sort of discount since they are in my "network" but it still seems a little low to me for a machine, mask and humidifier. I'm sure there will be some cost they forgot to include in the quote over t...

Re: Nobody Can top Me!!

Well I am an engineer and Eagle Scout so rigging up a solution when a problem exists just comes naturally to me. It was the most uncomfortable headgear I've ever used but it did work and kept me in the CPAP until Monday (dog ate it on Saturday) when I could get to the medical supply house to pick up...

Re: Nobody Can top Me!!

The 2nd day into a hunting trip at my friend's ranch, his mutt dog ate the entire neoprene head strap (minus the plastic clips) for my full face Quattro. I guess she thought my sweat tasted good. I was new to CPAP at the time and was still trying to get used to using it. I knew I needed to use it th...

Going to a new machine- Resmed S9 from Respitronics M Series

My doctor has asked that I do a data download from my CPAP machine. Turns out, the machine I was issued approximately 3 years ago is not capable of data logging. It only stores the simple compliance data so this is prompting a search for a new machine. I feel the equipment supplier intentionally gav...
