Re: First night success story

Thanks Pugsy- I now realize EPR was off by default- I'll turn that on for tonight. I suspect that was the reason for the chest tightness. I neglected to go into the clinical setup menu last night. The 10 was the duration of the apnea like you say- it's that lollipop looking symbol on the graph. Prob...

My study AHI was 36 recommended pressure of 8 and my stats were AHI of 1.2 and median pressure of 5.8. I had usage of 7.7 hours although it seems like I was awake a lo...

Re: Insurance or go it alone?

Yup- both DME I went to basically balance charge for the package of equipment to max out my deductible. I just went ahead and bought an S9 package on cpap.com for just over $1K and went for the AirFit N10 with 30 day exchange to get started. With the support I can get from you fine folks and free ma...

Re: Insurance or go it alone?

Ok it sounds like I should just buy this all myself directly and use this forum to figure it out... Looks like i can go on cpap.com and buy everything i need to start for much less than the $2K through a DME. I'm a bit nervous doing it this way but $900 savings is hard to pass up. Looks like I shoul...

When i talked to the DME referred by my doc, they told me I only have the choice of 1 machine (a Resmed S9 autoset) for $2000 and change, including...
