Re: reliable approved sources

Drs office referred the 2 that have been investigated. Disappointing.
No model has been scripted ... so far.

reliable approved sources

have a home sleep study with an AHI 4%.
The local CPAP suppliers all have bad reviews.
2 have been investigated for Medicare fraud. Apria and Adept. Both giant squid corporations.
Waiting for call backs from 2 others.
Is there a reliable national option that I can try?

Re: ResMed pillow mask - update

I don't get replacement parts. I want to find a replacement for the whole set up as it's not comfortable. So I'm looking to see if there is still a metal part in the nasal pillow part.

ResMed pillow mask - update

Has this been updated to something without metal?

screen time out

respironics dream maker.

is there anyway to shorten the screen time out when one removes the mask?

Re: mom diagnosed at 90

"If you could encourage her to use the mask and machine while awake...like while watching TV it will help her brain to accept the alien being stuck on her face."


Good idea! I'll make that suggestion. Don't know setting yet. I'll have to explore when I'm there next.
