Re: Free ClimateLines and Tubs for Resmed S9

Just an FYI that another member reached out of private message and I shipped it out to them. Glad someone could make good use of the S9 climate line tubes and tubs.

Free ClimateLines and Tubs for Resmed S9

I was doing some “spring” cleaning and came across a few ClimateLine hoses and water tabs for the ResMed S9. I used to have one until it was stolen and my replacement is an AirSense 10, so these are just sitting in a box. I’d be happy to send them off to anyone who could use them. Worse case scenari...

Air 10
I doubt it’s available after all this time, but it’s in case, I’d be down for a Climateline for an AirSense 10.

Similarly, if anyone wants a Climateline for an S9, I have three new, unused ones willing to go to a good home. Free, with shipping at your cost (or pickup in NC).

Re: Ideas to put you at ease when you forget mask

Sleeping as upright as possible can help things sometimes for some people I recently had to go two weeks without a CPAP (not by choice, believe me!) and this was a suggestion from my DME when I asked for anything I could try to do until I was reunited with a CPAP. They recommended I get a couple ex...

Re: Question on airsense 10 side cover

When not using the heated hose, you have to make sure you set the proper tube type (size) slimline or regular, or your pressures will be very off. As a related question, on my S9 whenever I wasn't going to use humidification (basically, on an airplane), I would use my ClimateLine but not "click" it...

Re: My cat has discovered my CPAP hose

Neither of mine ever attack my hose or mask, and one doesn't attack anything. Sadly, the older of the two has got some smarts and she figured out the On/Off button on my AirSense 10!!! That's a way to wake up! :shock:

Re: WTB Airsense 10 Autoset

If you run into a bind, I can always resell the one I just bought from LSAT since my insurance is finally getting me a replacement tomorrow. Don’t feel obligated because I like the idea of not packing it every time I stay at my gf’s house.

Re: One month in....still feeling bad any advice here?

There are folks on this forum much better able to provide feedback on improving your treatment, but I will say when I started CPAP years ago, I felt like the Op at first. I generally felt a bit better, but I wasn’t feeling leaps and bounds better. I also get that my body had long had bad sleep and i...

Re: Stolen CPAP abroad - options?

Sorry I gave the wrong impression. The USPS Priority delivery of the CPAP I purchased from LSAT was to my US address to arrive the day before my flight, so it would have been ready and waiting for me at home if it didn’t decide to take a week’s vacation somewhere in the Central time zone.

Re: Europe travel plug adapter

Any suggestions on the CPAP usage? Also, anyone use the CPAP on the airplane? It's a rather long flight from Dallas, TX and there is no way I can sleep on a plane without CPAP. So far all my domestic travel I just don't sleep, even napping is out. I assume I plug into the seat power and set the CPA...

Re: Stolen CPAP abroad - options?

As an update to folks in case it ever proves helpful to others. 1. My travel insurance had a specific exclusion for “electronics” stolen from vehicles. I would have needed “lost/stolen baggage” coverage for my CPAP being stolen from the car. I didn’t get that since my credit card provides lost/stole...

Re: tsa and carry on water

At home I used distilled water religiously. When I travel, I use drinkable water at my location - however, I also take a travel sports bottle with me with a built-in Brita-type filter. I run the water through that and then into my tank. As others have said, a cleaning by whatever effective means you...

Re: Stolen CPAP abroad - options?

WTF!?!? The place you NEED to call is your insurance agent and get the straight scoop on this.......and report your loss. They're the only ones who can properly advise you on what is or isn't covered.......PERIOD!!! Your DME doesn't know diddly squat (and they usually lie anyway) and neither do we ...

Stolen CPAP abroad - options?

Yesterday I arrived in Italy and had a wonderful day and night last night. However, while traveling from Rome to Florence, our car was broken into and everything was stolen - luggage, clothing, passports, medications, and of course, my ResMed S9 AutoPap. I called my medical equipment provider and th...

Re: WISP MASK Question - still a newbie

One thing to keep in mind is like, with many "air cushion" masks nowadays, sometimes it needs to be looser for a better fit. You may want to retry fitting your headgear straps (particularly the top ones). You may have the top too tight and it's created a stark angle to blow the vents in your eyes. T...
