Is it the autoset that makes it so wonderful?
You never said whether your S9 was an AutoSet?? The algorithms of the S9 AutoSet and AS10 AutoSet are identical.

How do your settings compare with the S9 and AS10?
I'll have to check.

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

Thanks Pugsy. We live in interesting times. There seems to be a shortage of things, everywhere, for many reasons. My S9 may go on for an indeterminate amount of time; or not. I didn't want to second guess myself and find myself without a machine at all. Don't wait for your S9 to stop. Start using y...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

I am very happy for you that you were able to get your insurance company on board to help you out in paying for the machine. Insurance companies can make exceptions if they want to. It's just sometimes a matter of getting them to want to. Sounds like your insurance is one of the "good uns" as we us...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

I found a gently used AS10 Autoset. My ins will cover 70%. Are you reading this in the schedule of benefits? Or did you actually talk to the insurance company to see if this is an approved supplier and which documents you need to file the claim? I'm more than fortunate to have a cadillac insurance ...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

Boy oh boy it's tough out there. I called 3-4 places that didn't have machines and had waiting lists. I finally went to Secondwind. I found a gently used AS10 Autoset. My ins will cover 70%. I hope I made the right move. They said the machine has less than 61 hours on it, which is basically new. oh...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

The S9, AS10 and now the AS11 have more than one model. The CPAP, Elite and AutoSet. There are more but were nt getting into that. The CPAP model is a brick, no data. It's awful. The Elite is fixed pressure, avoid it. The AutoSet is the machine to get. That makes it easy. Despite the fact I don't c...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

I originally used the humidifier, but found it didn't do boop. So i removed it. Even turned up full, I'd get no humidity. My nose is really dry and sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night and swab my nose with some cold water. Did you ever check the water level upon arising as compare...

Re: Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

Thanks Granny I stand corrected. what changed, that the "A" is called for, (not being snippy)? just curious. You mention "Autoset". Is this something on the S9 has and I never noticed? Or is it something new? Once I acclimated to using the machine, I never gave it another thought. I clean the filter...

Best sleep ever, I've worn out my machine

I've been on a resmed S9 for the past...5 years(?) I'm not sure how long I've had this machine. Except I noticed that it is telling me "motor life exceeded" I've liked this model. I originally used the humidifier, but found it didn't do boop. So i removed it. Even turned up full, I'd get no humidity...

Re: My ResMed CPAP DIED after 5 years. Replacement question…

It is an S9, I only know because when I was writing down my machine's particulars, I noticed there is the alphanumeric "IP21" on the back. -I don't know what it stands for either, and maybe it's on other models too?
