Re: Scary how little info we're given with these machines!(RANT)

Really...I'm not that smart about these things, I'm NOT an MD, DME, EIEIO....but I am SO tempted to tell them to give me a cubicle with a computer one day per week where drivers diagnosed with OSA and required to use the frigging equipment can at least get SOME support! I'm sure there is training f...

Re: Just 2 nights in and I have questions

I also find I want to open my mouth when trying to sleep, maybe the pressure is a part of that, but I feel for the unit to work properly I need to keep my mouth closed. Is that correct? I use the Aloha mask with the bottom half of the Halo chin strap in the extra slots of the Aloha head gear. It re...

Re: Just had my first follow-up, please help

If you do go with the Aloha, you can use the bottom half of the Breathewear Halo chinstrap in the spare slots on the Aloha frame. This way there is no additional head gear. Whoa, cool idea -- does the BH chinstrap just go through the spare slots and attach to itself on each side (velcro?)? Exactly

Re: Humidifier reservoir top won't fit back on top of my S9

I woke up this morning and my reservoir was dry. I filled with water and now the top won't snap back into place. I have had it for about two months and it has always worked perfectly. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? I have a Resmed S 9 Autoset machine. The grooves and slots won't fit back...
