Re: Electronic Nose Used to Detect OSA

Re: New F&P full face mask ("Simplus")

I have used the simplus on and off for the last month. I found that it is very comfortable and unobtrusive.

Re: POLL: OTC CPAP?

Thanks for starting this one! I voted yes strickly due to the prevalence of OSA around the world. There was a horrific accident here locally where a trucker plowed over a stopped vehicle at 3 in the morning. Claimed the lives of both himself and the 16 yr old driver of the other vehicle. Though no ...
