Re: Stuffy head and nose

Re: Stuffy head and nose

Chelle25 First some history. I have been on my VPAP machine for 7 months. I started with a large full face mask(FFM).

Re: CPAP Basics - 19 - Cleaning and Disinfecting

I have been wondering just how important daily cleaning of my VPAP equipment is. How do things like the humidifier tank get dirty? I get cleaning my mask and it's appendid tube but, how do germs travel up a hose which has a positive pressure and flow? How do I know just how clean my mask is after I ...

While operating my ResMed S9 from a battery, which would use less current, a 12VDC to 24VDC converter or a 12VDC to 120VAC inverter? I would like to use as small an...
