Being an Apap, if set to factory defaults, won't I see the start of any apneas anyhow regardless of the settings? (Assuming the minimum is 4 and 4 is not enough to treat). He's trying it finally tonight. Next challenge will be his beard needless to say it's a nonissue for me with mine. When he tried...

My insurance no longer covers sleep apnea or sleep related issues. Any major reason my husband can't use my spare apap to test himself for sleep apnea? I know it's not as thorough but if on a low max he has acceptable amounts of apneas it could at least rule him out right?

Never had this in my 8 yrs of cpap. I use the hybrid mask for the last 6 months but this last month I've been suddenly getting red blotchy skin on my chin where it makes contact. It doesn't go away with moisturizers. I'm wondering if maybe since it's Spring (here in Michigan that means increase in h...

If I dont wash my cats and birds water dish regularly it gets a slime like feel on the surface. I figure if I dont wash my tank daily Id be at risk for that same slime, bacteria growth.

Cant wait to hear if its working well.

Its the Quattro FX if you click on it, it tells more details. Thanks for responding Ill have to look into that.

After 6 years theyve decided to stop making my nasal mask but its just as well Im a mouth leaker/breather and really hate wearing the chin strap and all the side effects that come with it. So Ive decided to buck up and switch to a full face knowing Ill eventually get use to it. It fits great and my ...
