Re: Airsense 10 shut down during flight

I did put a call in to my DME technical desk so we will see what they come back with. I'll post what I find out if is helpful in any way. Partl...

Airsense 10 shut down during flight

So on Wednesday, I was on an 11-hour overnight flight from Sao Paulo to Detroit in business class. The outlet was 110v 60hz. I put my machine on airplane mode and turned off the humidifier. After 50 minutes, my machine shut itself down and the green light on the outlet was no longer lit. I unplugged...

AHI changes with altitude

Hi all, it has been a long time since I posted here. I have been on CPAP for over 4 years now. A month ago, I went from the S9 to the AirSense 10 Autoset with FX Quattro full face mask on both machines. Pressure is set at 12-14. I travel between sea level and 5,300 feet regularly. At sea level, my A...

Re: Any suggestions to stop leaks?

I loosened my mask last night and it was definitely more comfortable, but it leaked more. I adjusted it with the "mask fit" function on my machine prior to going to sleep. I was awakened a lot and tried to re-adjust best I could. Going to give it another shot tonight. I don't have a lot of patience ...

Re: Any suggestions to stop leaks?

My pressure is 11 and set on CPAP with pressure relief of 3. The mask is one month old (I get a new one automatically every three months). Seems like a waste though. I think I only need the silicon insert. I checked out the "Taming the Quattro" article and I think that the mask is too tight. I am go...

Any suggestions to stop leaks?

I have been on CPAP for a little over 4 months now. It is going better than I expected. I am averaging 7+ hours per night and my AHI is down to 4.31 which I count as a win! However, I find that my mask leaks, most of the time when I change positions. The only way that I can seem to stop it is by adj...

My data is wacked

I am using sleepyhead to read my data. For the first 30 days, everything has functioned normally. I have averaged about 6.5 hours use per night, AHI still a little on the high side. I had to send the SD card to my DME after the 30 days and replace the SD card with the one that they had sent me. When...

Re: ComfortGel and ComfortGel Blue Full-Face Masks

I called cpap.com two days ago and they said that they are out of network for all insurance plans. They advised talking to my insurance company first.

Re: Questions for DME - Machine delivery at 3PM EST

All, thanks for the responses. Very helpful! My DME was early...imagine that! I have my machine and look forward to getting cozy with it tonight! It is the S9 AutoSet (not the escape) with H5i humidifier, and ResMed Quattro FX full face mask. I do have questions about the SD card though. The DME wan...

Re: Frustrated

The saga continued today. I am all over the DME to provide the right machine. I had a great conversation with the referral coordinator at my doctor's office. Her husband has been on CPAP for 17 years. She said I should get a machine with a heated humidifier with heated tube. The Resmed machine DS550...

Frustrated

Hello all...I am new to CPAPtalk. Six years ago, I was diagnosed with severe OSA. I tried CPAP, BiPAP, a ridiculous amount of masks and couldn't get used to it. I am now 51, six years older, and hopefully six years wiser. I know the harm of untreated OSA and I need to do something about it...again. ...
