S9 noise upon inhalation

I have mentioned this issue in one of my previous posts (about something else) but I'd like to get more details about it. I wonder if it is normal to hear Darth Vader sound coming from the S9 Autoset at pressure from 10-11 cm H2O whenever you inhale. I tried to find out where the sound originated fr...

Re: One month in: tired, desperate, and under a lot of pressure

Well, I've heard that some S9's DO make more noise than they're supposed to, and while I can't explain the situation properly as I'm not up on it, wait for Pugsy (or someone else knowledgable about it) to come in and do that. You should not have to put up with it - I believe it's some kind of rando...

One month in: tired, desperate, and under a lot of pressure

I apologize in advance for writing this post, as it's not really asking for help nor is useful. However, today, my feelings today are the worst since I started CPAP, and I feel I really need to vent. To give you a background, I am a graduate student in a chemistry program in a very prestigious unive...

Question about using ACE bandage as a chin strap

I used Walgreen's self-adhesive 3" bandage as home-made chin strap last night, and I found that it worked very well despite the sticky feeling on my face I just wonder whether it is reusable, and if so, how long it lasts and how to clean it. Also, I have to use a safety pin to hold both ends of the ...

Can BBQ smoke be a problem for CPAP?

I am living in a small cottage in the backyard of my landlord's house. Just a few days ago, my landlord got a new BBQ stove and he has been having a BBQ feast everyday. Whenever he does that, the smell gets into my cottage. While it is not an intense smell (the stove is 10 meters from my house), I a...

Leak alarm beeps for no clear reason?

I am currently using Resmed S8 Elite II and I found that my leak alarm goes off for an unknown reason. Usually this happens when I try to go back to sleep in early morning. The alarm will go off whenever I am about to fall into a deep sleep (which could be when my breathing slows down). However, whe...

Re: How to convince the doctor to prescribe S9 Autoset?

Thanks for all the responses! Just to clarify, can the doctor just write "CPAP" on the prescription without any other information (ie. pressure, add humidifier, etc)? I think it'd be easier to get my psychiatrist to write a prescription by just telling her my old machine broke and I am very depresse...

How to convince the doctor to prescribe S9 Autoset?

I'm sorry if this post seems contradictory to my previous post (about not using prescription to buy a used CPAP). Turns out secondwindcpap.com also needs a prescription, so I need to go get one from my doctor. I want to get S9 Autoset because a lot of people use it and love it (not to mention the fu...

Used CPAP without prescription = problem with doctor?

Hi, I just bought a used S9 autoset from secondwindcpap.com because my old CPAP is just so noisy I cannot stand it anymore (old + out of warranty + no DME too). Since the purchase didn't require a prescription, I wonder if this would give me a trouble with my sleep doctor, given that formally any CP...

Resmed Humidifier H4i makes Darth Vader-like sound

I actually asked this question before but there is still a problem with my humidifier, so I am going to ask a little differently: is it normal for a humidifier to make this type of sound (like "breathing-in" sound whenever you inhale)? I know I might sound dumb here, but I figure maybe the reason I ...
