Is there a divider on the nasal slot or just one open slot?

There are sites that sell certified used cpaps. Is that a scary thought? Or something reasonable to consider?
It's certainly something to consider. Please provide a link to the site(s) you are considering and include which model.

Re: Need a new cpap machine

What's your backup when your equipment goes down. Most experienced users in this forum keep a backup. Each time I am insurance-eligible for a new machine, I keep my old one as a backup. Check your local craigslist for a CPAP machine. Many people get machines and right away quit using them. Ask memb...

That's the last time I will take a nap with two pans of brownies in the oven.

Can a place like cpap.com make this a quicker process?
Only if you have a prescription.

A caring doctor or dentist can write you a prescription. My GP writes what I need despite never seeing my sleep study.

Quiet 99% of time but oh boy, that 1% will get ya
That sounds like the 99% quiet is side or stomach sleeping, and the 1% is back-sleeping.

Videos and information is everywhere about this mic update.
Mask sound characteristics are converted into a digital signal and transmitted. The device is incapable of transmitting sound or speech.

Re: Experience with Cigna and Travel CPAP

anyone has experience getting CIGNA to reimburse/pay for it Even if they do, they can't answer your question because they don't know the details of your policy. CIGNA has dozens of policies and benefits vary. You need to ask CIGNA if you are eligible for a new machine. The insurance code for a CPAP...

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner

One question I had though, is it ok to take the humidifier tub out of the machine while it is in cool down mode (still pushing out a low flow of air with the snow flake symbol on the screen). It seems to take about an hour to 1.5hrs for it to cool down of a morning and I can't really wait that long...

Re: Sudden burst of CA's because left arm was out of bed!

It was only a one-off observation. It certainly wasn't a one-off. The mold and its curative properties had been observed for centuries. Fleming was the first to identify which substance in the mold had the bacteria-fighting characteristics. It was a decade later that a team of scientists that did n...

Why do people worry about such one-offs as this?
