Re: humidifier issue

Trying the Resmed again, pretty sure something is not functioning correctly in the humidifier. Water chamber is very old, anyone know if that can stop being effective at some point if not replaced or is replacing it just recomended for cleanliness?

Anyone know if the h5i will work in the resmed8?

humidifier issue

Anyone have a humidifier stop working on Resmed 8? I have had a Resmed8 that I prefer to use. I got it black market before being diagnosed. It's 5 or 6 years old. I also have a F&P prescribed by doctor. I like the resmed better because I have the pressure set at 12 whereas the doctor set the F&P at ...

Re: Can you talk with nasal mask on?

I tried last night with the settings Pugsy suggested and got some better sleep and better numbers. 6.4 AHI on .32 leak. Not numbers to be satisfied with long term I guess but at least I finally got some sleep. I should also note that I have covered my mouth the last couple of nights to prevent mouth...

Re: anyone have a full face mask they don't use?

My husband uses a Medium in the Quattro and UM. PM me your mailing info and I'll send both out to you. If you want you can send me a check for shipping when you receive the package. Just a reminder, they've both been used and I'll clean them before I send them but you may want to do a better job. O...

Re: Can you talk with nasal mask on?

The pressure number showing on the S8 LCD screen is a 95% number.. This means that for 95% of the night you were at OR BELOW this number. It isn't an average like you would normally be thinking of. There is an average available but only with the software. I forgot to ask...are you using EPR or if y...

Re: Can you talk with nasal mask on?

Last night leak was .38 and AHI 14.3 What were your pressure range settings? and what was the 95% pressure number showing on the machine? The AHI number for sure will cause disruptive sleep. I have an idea you can try if you are willing but I need the pressure ranges and your 95% pressure number fr...

Re: Can you talk with nasal mask on?

I haven't slept much at all in days. Any idea why? That concerns me more than your leak numbers now (if you stay below 0.4 L/s) unless the leaks themselves are disruptive. I just assume it is because of the higher apneas, but I am also having other issues this week like alot of gas and getting up t...

I'm not certain. I've never tried a full face mask before. I thought it was different for each style of mask though. I think there is a sizing chart online for the quatro, I'll try to measure this evening using that to get an idea.

anyone have a full face mask they don't use?

I'm looking to try it out but not sure if it will work for me. I've heard of alot of people who have used one and been unsuccessful. Looking for an economical way to experiment.

Appreciate any offers or suggestions.
