I am a frequent airline traveller and read about the transcend CPAP machine in one of the airline on-board magazines. Anybody ever use it?

What is your ideal machine?

Re: switching to nasal pillows

I switched from a quatro full face mask to the swift fx nasal pillows and a ruby chin strap within a month of my sleep study, with absolutely no issues. Love my nasal pillows. But can't do the nasal pillows without the chin strap...guess my mouth drops open.

Re: What machine do I have

Thanks so much. I won't be ordering that respironics hose then, as it only works on the 60 series machines. I will order the other heated hose mentioned. Yes, my therapist programmed the data card to my specific prescription and I bought new tubing and nasal pillows/head gear. I got it at a steal fo...
