Re: So I guess I have OSA - what happens next?

As for your insurance, it sounds similar to mine. I pay a monthly copay for 12 months as does the insurance company, but I must use the machine at least 4 hours per night and 20 days per month for the first 3 months. At the end of the 12 months, the machine is paid for and it is mine. The machine ha...

Re: CPAP Compliance

My DME says 3B medical gets a report from my machine, which has a cell connection and they send the report to my pulmonary doctor and UHC insurance every three months.

Re: 3BMedical Luna II

I have only had my 3BMedical Luna II auto set CPAP fir a few days, but it is much quieter and easier to operate and make changes than my old Resmed System One CPAP machine. I like it. Plus my Resmed ws recalled and I gave up waiting for them to replace it. But I expect that is what Phillips is hopin...

Re: CPAP Compliance

My provider said that I have to use the machine 21 days out of 30 for a minimum of 4 hours per night. I pay a rental fee for 12 months of $9.63 and the insurance company pays a monthly fee which with my copay pays for the machine in 12 months. After that the machine is mine.

3BMedical Luna II

I just received a new 3B Medical Luna II auto set CPAP machine. I searched and cannot find any post on it since 2020, which were very negative. Has this machine been improved since then_ If it is so bad what is bad about it_

Re: Oxygen Desaturation reaction time

I have been on supplemental 02, since March 2022. I need #3 setting 24/7. I guess my heart is giving out. They are still running tests.

Re: Oxygen Desaturation reaction time

I went to a sleep cventer last week, but have been on CPAP for 12 years. Yhey let my O2 level go down to 66 before adding oxygen to my CPAP> I have read that any level below 79 can cause brain damage. Did they expose me to brain damage or what?

Sounds like your diabetes is not under very good control.
My last A1c was 6.1. But the damage done over the years has taken its toll.

Are bathroom breaks registered as leaks?

I have the System one Remstar with auto A flex machine. I have the Sleepyhead software. When I get up to use the bathroom during the night(which occurs 3-6 time each night). Does the software register this as leaks. If so, should I turn the CPAP machine off each time before unhooking the hose or not...

Re: Help me pick a machine!!!

I got my Primary Care Physican to write a prescription and had brought in how I wanted it worded. She complied without a problem. I get all my meds from her,so I do not have to see the expensive specialist every year.
