Re: "New Skin product" for lesion on nose or switch to F40 airfit

Mijji, Thanks for the mask recommendation! I do need a mask that can handle higher pressures and after some research, I'm leaning toward the F & P Evora FF mask. My DME sells this mask but it may need to come from a warehouse 300 miles away. Hopefully I can get a fitting locally or purchase the fit ...

"New Skin product" for lesion on nose or switch to F40 airfit

I've used a mirage quattro mask for more than 14 years (resmed s10, 17.5 cm pressure). It is my first mask and I sleep wonderfully when wearing it. However, I do have a problem with a lesion on the bridge of my nose. Apparently, my mask puts excessive pressure on the nose bridge. I've tried adjustin...

Re: Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

I was curious about the 'Essentials' menu selection and also if my own AS10 Auto had a setting for a filter. Evidently the 'Essentials' selection appears only to affect the 'Patient' menu options and not the 'Clinician' menu items. The 'ON' setting of 'Essential' gives the patient basic settings, w...

Re: Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

I called my local DME to inquire about the lack of ability to turn on the ABF switch on my S10. She claims that Resmed no longer includes Accessories and Essentials options for the S10. The ABF on/off switch is in the Accessories section. I asked if patient access had been turned off during setup. S...

Re: Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

Thank you everyone for interest and replies! Interesting, my problem is solved (sort of....) I have two s10's. I had to replace the first one with a new s10 2 yrs ago. Just for giggles, I went to the clinician settings on my original s10 from SecondwindCPAP. All of the settings and options are there...

Re: Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

Just look for anti bacterial filter in the setup menu. I have an airsense s10 autoset. When I go through the clinical settings ON MY Machine, there is no listed setting for an AB filter. Investigating further, I found that AB filter switch in the accessories menu in clinical settings. I don't have ...

Re: Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

Interesting, one pro and one negative in relation to the papmd filter. I'll think I will give them a try. I can purchase 6 for $20 which would provide 3 to 6 months of protection. I live in a semi arid desert area and humidity is typically very low. I'm less likely to have issues of filter plugging ...

Anyone use PAPMD cpap filters?

I recently became aware of product call PAPMD cpap bacteria filter which is placed between the mask and hose. The on-line reviews are very positive but I'm curious about the thoughts of this group. I'm a long time cpap user and have been having significant congestion in the morning. My ENT prescribe...

Re: Is it worth buying a backup machine?

Most definitely! My S9 was always a champ and never failed for many hours past the hours of useful life. After upgrading to an S10, I've had to pull my backup machine (the S9) out of storage three times... A true blessing to have a fallback device.

Interesting that your AHI's during your last APAP settings were very similar to your results with VPAPauto. I have some questions for you: 1. Did you notice any differe...

I have Oscar installed on my laptop. Works well, accesses data and life is good! However, I wanted to also review Oscar data on my desktop. I have downloaded and installed oscar. Setup a profile. Went to cpap SD importer, and attempted to load data. A popup appears asking to identify a folder and it...
