I may post this as a new topic to ensure a mask leak solution I worked out for high pressure treatments. My main symptom are Centrals which drove the prescription for an ASV machine with a max pressure setting of 23. I have a Resmed S9 ASV with humidifier, heated hose, data interface with oximeter, ...

ResMed S9 Plug in Interface and the reusable pulse/o2 sensor plus tax was about $600. So far insurance is not paying. Got it from my DME.

I am still looking into the battery back-up schema. My goal is to feed power from the surge protection unit to a battery (via rectifier) and the S9 connected to the battery. A simple solution where if the offsite power trips, the S9 never knows that event happened because all that is dropped is the...

I am getting with my subject matter expert to develop a simple formula for DC applications that will get that type of information. If I remember right we need things like quality factors, temperature factors, effciency factors going ac to dc, dc to dc, etc. Over engineering to nuclear grade is my fa...

My lifelong background is in utility power production in nuclear power stations. I am also very interested in power protection and backup power for my CPAP. While I am used to multiple 10 Megawatt diesel generators with load shedding and sequencing for emergency AC and DC loads, I think it is safe t...

Greetings! Hope you find some relief pretty soon. Unfortunately, I found the gel masks tend to cut off my airflow through my sinuses. The pressure just seems to close off my nasal passages. I find that I do have to tighten the Quattro FX Full Face Mask more than they recommend. But I have it loose ...

The SD card capacity is growing every year with costs staying the same or going down. There is not a reason to revamp the S9 (and future) schema to have it take a look at the card capacity and auto adjust the number of days the high def data will be kept on the card. An 8 gig card will allow X days ...

Hi, I struggled the same way with the Quattro full face mash when I first started. I was on 14/21 with BiPAP, so not quite as high as you see, but still pretty far up there. I would get mask lines etched into my face so badly that it would develop into a rash. The worst part was the air blowing int...

Can you go to your DME or see a sleep tech to see if they can help you out? I am trying the suggestions from this forum and trying the potential remedies on the market before going for another study. I have been keeping the Sleep Lab and my DME in the loop as to what I am doing. Once we find what v...

Hi - what are the chances that you can learn to sleep on your side (which may possibly make a difference)? My mask is useless on my back also, plus back sleeping is 'the' worst thing to do as it provokes a lot more apneas for a lot of people. Even if you succeed at that (you can buy long wedge cut ...

Weight is of no issue. The full face including the eyes is a step in a future plan as it is the same thing as a SCBA unit and will not bother me. But, I would rather exhaust the variables on the market and user suggestions on the current mask type before moving to a different mask type.

Thank you to everyone who took your time to kindly answer with suggestions. I will post my findings as I move through the suggestions. First will be the different method to put the mask on by letting the top control all the way out and concentrate on achieving the cushion effect. The ResMed VPAP Ada...

Macine and mask information is incorrect. Don't see how to edit my profile. How is the profile edit done?

I am still going to stay in the program to help myself, but frustration is mounting. Here are the current facts. I have a ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt due to centrals and mixed. Max pressure is 25. I have pulled the card and uploaded the data in the 4.2 version of the ResMed software application. I have con...

Thanks. I was able to obtain the part numbers from ResMed:

Oximeter Adapter Kit - 369100 - includes adapter and three finger probes
Adapter only - 36940
Finger probes - 36942
