Re: CPAP Pre-newbie

You should also ask for a copy of the complete sleep-lab report to have for your own medical records.

Re: Wake me up before I go-go (back to sleep, that is)

Set a repeating alarm on your phone for 1 hour after your normal bed time, and turn the alarm off when you have your mask on.

Re: Air leak through ears

If you have air coming out of one of your ears, you must be a Pumpkin head like me,
or you have a broken eardrum. Better see an ENT soon.

Re: Brand New Respironics BIPAP AVAPS C Series 1160P for sale

Looks like OP (slake6) has been a member here for all of 8hrs. .... not a good track record.
This same machine is listed on craigslist for the last two weeks ... started at $1700 and is now down to $1000 ... wonder if slake6 is the lister or if he will buy it there as soon as he sells it here?

Re: Newly back to CPAP, and a new chin strap user - help?

I have a full face of hair and use a full face mask ... the airfit F10 and have good success with it . Also the Froma is a good one for me, and because it goes under the chin it helps to keep the mouth closed.

Re: Sleepyhead question

I have a pr760 bipap and use sleepyhead .... locking the card is not necessary.
That warning applies mostly to Resmed machines. It will not hurt to lock the card .... just remember to unlock it when returning it to the machine.

Re: Airfit F10 vs. Quattro FX Nose Irritation

I have had irritation on the bridge of my nose with the F10 also with other masks. I found the gel nose pads help. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/boomerang-gel-pad-starter-pack.html or : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/185-8558993-8654836?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cpap%20gel%20pad

Re: Just diagnosed

Welcome to the community: If you insist on a Bipap , I believe both Resmed and Phillips are data capable but not necessary auto adjusting , you should ask for an auto adjusting one Phillips is a pr760 and the Resmed will say vpap auto . As for a mask it becomes a very personal thing, I like the F10 ...

Re: Noisy PRS1 960

I have a ps760 and my wife has a 560 . the 760 is much louder ... because it is putting out more pressure and cycles between two different pressures .

Re: Sleep study on the 15th....

you should be in the best position to evaluate the Dr.s office and decide if you are in the right office ... or is it a cpap mill ? Or you may get special treatment since you are working there.
