As far as I remember (I stand to be corrected), you need to enable leak tracking on the machine.

I had a Fisher & Paykel HC608 w/ integrated heated hose, and never had major issues with rainout. I've now moved to an M-Series Auto w/ heated humidifier with no heated hose, and I must say I'm having huge rainout issues. If I have the humidifier set on anything above 2 my hose literally fills with ...

Thanks everyone. My apologies for my laziness the other day - I was a bit too fuzzy to do a proper search. I'm sure you can relate!

Hi All, I'm looking for simple information that describes what OSA is and what an OSA sufferer goes through, in general terms. I am having a rough time at work right now, so I want to show my boss the type of things I am living with so that she has a better understanding. I'm still recovering from a...

Wow, I can't even consider not using the humidifer. If I have the thing on anything less than setting 2, I get chronic dry throat. Sometimes even setting 2 isn't enough, but anything more than that and I drown :p

Can't win.

On the bright side, it keeps people from bothering me at my cubicle

I've been having hassles with dry throat the past couple of days - however every time I increase the humidity, I get rainout, which, to me, is far more annoying than the dry throat. The thing is, I have a heated hose, so in theory, I shouldn't be having the rainout issues, especially if I increase t...

I've found the comfortgel to be very comfortable. You need to ensure that you've adjusted the straps correctly. They shouldn't be too tight. Before you start, ensure that the stability selector has been fully extended. Start adjusting via the top head straps. While sitting up, adjust the top straps ...

Do you have a humidifier? It could be that the dry air is causing your problem, or at least aggravating it. I suffer tremendously from sinus issues (I've had several sinus ops over the years), but I can't say I've had any dramatic problems since I started CPAP in May. I've got a Fisher & Paykel HC60...

Hmm... possibly my HC608 has newer firmware - I've only had it since mid-May.

The humidity setting is the same though - 0-4 in .5 increments.

I've been running the hose at max temp (10) (It's winter here), and the hose definitely feels warm to the touch.

Nice going

It's great when you realise that xPAP is actually working

I got my CF2 yesterday, but I had a devil of a time trying to get the thing to seal properly. I eventually gave up and used my Comfortgel.

I'll try fit it properly this afternoon when it's not so late.

The UP and DOWN arrows immediatly control the humidity. You must go in the menu for the hose setting by holding the > button for a few seconds until you see a single number and a small hose icon on the lower left. Then, push the UP or DOWN buttons to get the hose heat you want. It only goes from 0 ...

I started out with an HC405 (mid-may), and hated every minute of the damn thing. I got myself a Respironics Comfortgel... ahh bliss.
