Hi Hawthorne, Thanks for that. Here in BC - no medical coverage. I will probably stay here for the first machine until I know more about the whole thing. I don't think it should be so expensive compared to US but I feel that if I buy outside of Canada I will not get the support I need. They also tol...

Hi, To answer your questions in Canada at least the province of BC the machine costs $2000.00. There is no medical coverage for this unless you have extended healthcare. They justify this high cost by saying that if you need further help it is included in the price. ex. if you need to have the data ...

Hi Choker,
apology accepted! My understanding is you need to clean everything. I would guess that one would just run hot water through it but would you use soap?

yes, I can buy an auto machine but my Dr. said it would be set on straight pressure and I would not be able to change it. It has to be done by him. He will only use straight pressure with me. He says if I wanted to buy an auto machine it would be a waste of extra money. About $500. more

Hey there Mr. Choker,
like I said I'm new here. I have had a loaner machine from the cpap provider now I have to buy one!! I'm also new to this talk forum and not that comfortable with computers. Try to be a little kind!!

sorry, I'm new at this. Don't use the site too often. Forgot the protocol. (username)

Hi ,

Anyone know the proper way to clean climateline hose?

Hi,
The machine I will be using is a Resmed S9 Elite. It is not a auto machine. Dr. says do not buy an auto. He does not trust them. I'm not really sure why.

Hi again,
Thank you all for all your help. My computer is xp and I have 1GB of Ram with about 30 gb free space. How much do you need? What else do I need to know?

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I would feel more comfortable knowing how I'm doing with this. Where on this site do you learn how to read the data from the machine and how to download it. Do you need to have a newer computer, because my is quite old? Thanks so much for responding!

Hi , Just thought I'd add that my doctor expects that I should be compliant on this straight pressure and that the pressure should not change unless I gained a lot of weight. I just don't think I trust that the pressure should not change. He says I only need to take the card back to the cpap provide...

Hi,
Sorry for my ignorance but how do you switch the machine to auto if I buy one and also I live in Canada and there is a hugh price difference between the two. I also do not know how to read the results.

Hi again, Sorry maybe I did not expain well. He does know it can be set at straight pressure and says it will be. Therefore there is no need for an auto machine. My choices are phillips system one c flex or resmed s9 elite. which is better. Neither of these to my understanding are auto machines. Tha...

Hi,
Thank you for replying. My doctor said that if I choose to buy an auto machine. They will set it at a straight pressure he does not trust auto. So it would not be of any value with the extra cost to buy an auto machine if they would only set it at a straight pressure. What do you think?

I am needing to purchase a cpap machine and I am a relatively new user. I am on straight pressure my doctor does not reccomend auto. Which is better Phillips Respironics system one c flex or remstar s9. Is there any difference? I would love some direction on this. Thanks.
