What's the highest total hours of use you've logged on a single cpap machine before it stopped working, and what machine was it? TIA
29,000+ hours on a Phillips Respironics System One (DS550HS) back in April when I switched to an Airsense11.

Re: Switched from PR System1 to ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset

Just trying to follow up with an honest question. Given that ChrisD is changing machines, is there harm in beginning his settings at 4-20 versus 11-14 ? Previous reply suggested that a delay involved with increasing the pressure based on need (i.e. automatic increases) was problematic. My question ...

Re: Switched from PR System1 to ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset

I would FIRE any doctor insisting my cpap be left at factory defaults. His JOB is helping me find an effective range for TREATMENT; Factory defaults exist for some reason or other, but I doubt they are appropriate for ANYONE but a very few. I'll find out more tomorrow afternoon at a follow-up appt....

Re: Hard case sought

I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling and would like find a hard case (not fabric) for my airsense 10 with humidifier and hose, mask, powersupply. Any suggestions?

Re: Switched from PR System1 to ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset

Respironics and Resmed calculate the leak rates *totally* differently, there's no comparison. However, your leaks with the new mask are higher than the machine likes. Why don't you try your old mask? Needs do change over time. However, they will never change in such a way that leaving the machine a...

Mouth breathing?
Could be. I've noticed I've been waking up with a dry mouth some mornings lately. I'll look into a chin strap and see it that helps.

Thanks,

Switched from PR System1 to ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset

Good Evening to the Collective. After 10 years and 29,000+ hours on a Phillips Respironics System One (DS550HS), I've made the switch last Saturday to the ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset w/climate line hose. Still getting settled in with the new machine and mask. I've gone from the Phillips Respironics T...

Your machines were in the recall from day one, you just mis-typed the numbers, it was a common problem early on, and bad design of their web page, giving lots of people false negatives.
LOL, I can believe that. :)

Thanks.

Re: Philips Respironics Recall V2.0 Questions and Answers

When did they open the recall to APAP machines? When the recall was announced I checked the site with both my System One 50 series APAP machines and it said they were not in the recall. Just checked the site today and it looks like the recall website has been updated to include APAPs now. Both my ma...

Hi Friends,

Please suggest a brand name for the soap that is used to clean cpap tubings

Thanks

Palmolive Ultra Pure + Clear, Fragrance Free. I wash my hose weekly along with the mask, tank, and foam filter.

I have a closed mri scheduled. Already went through it half way freaked out.
When I have to get a MRI, I ask for a bandana / towel / eye mask to cover my eyes. That way I can't see how close to the machine I am.

Good Luck.
