Reading between the lines a bit in the Philips announcement they remind the user that the general service life of PAP devices is considered to be 5 years.

My wife has been using a Dreamstation for several years. I tried to steer her to a ResMed but the doc’s DME department prevailed over me. The second I heard about this I immediately grabbed LSAT’s “for her” model that had just gone up so she should be good to go. But when I called the doc yesterday ...

SOLD!

Larry, I’ll take it.

Just PMd you.

My experience as a previous side sleeper is that I couldn’t get by without an adjustable bed. I couldn’t prevent mask leaks on my side in a flat bed so I had to go to a recliner for several years. The adjustable bed is a huge step up from the recliner. Two hints: be sure to get 100% memory foam (no ...

Hi folks, I’m having what seems to me to be a weird problem when my fully charged Medistrom battery is plugged into my Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset machine. Everything works fine when actually using the machine but when you’re done for the night and the machine is off if you leave the battery plugged ...

Thanks everybody!

This only made sense to me.

I made my annual (basically unnecessary) visit to my sleep doc yesterday, pretty much just to keep my relationship active in case I needed a prescription, etc. I've always found his RT needlessly cranky and she's never liked me because I'm a little more independent than their average patient. Last t...

If the object of using a wipe on your mask is to remove facial oil in order to achieve a better seal, it would seem to me that using a baby wipe would be counter productive given that they all contain some type of lotion or oil.

I don't check the PH of it, I don't paint or build walls with it, I don't throw it at people standing outside of my cage, I flush it. :lol: Jim Due to metformin, I need to flush at least twice--sometimes the bowl brush is a MUST. NO WAY that (censored) is staying around any longer than I can get ri...

I just don't know about this Tramadol. But I'm thinking after 24 hours I may be done with it. I awakened once last night for a nature break, and as strange as it sounds I swear I felt like I was paralyzed. And I took another this morning that seemed to all but put me into a brain fog coma. I seem to...

My ortho doc prescribed this for extreme neck pain yesterday, calling it a "muscle relaxer" as opposed to the near-opioid painkiller that online research says that it is. So I took one 50 mg tablet around midnight, and was surprised this morning to see that my machine had maxed out several times at ...

Cushion size in this mask can be critical. It seems to run a little large to me. You might try a size up or down to see if that helps. I have also found that the mask must be manipulated up/down and side-to-side when you first start your machine until you get a good seal. Once the seal is achieved i...

I've been wearing a full face mask for many years. (I'm a mouth breather and I've never lasted more than a few minutes with my mouth shut.) I use the Quattro. I've tried others but I can't remember which and I gave up on them when I couldn't get a perfect seal. I would keep trying new ones, but it'...

I agree with palerider. I never look at those pressure numbers. I look at the pressure graph. I like to see a graph that is mostly boring, with maybe a few spikes. But not constantly up and down. If it goes up and down a lot, then I raise the minimum until the graph looks fairly boring. The minimum...
