Re: VAuto Pressure Issue - stuck at highest pressure.

If all else fails, I believe every province in Canada covers a good portion of a new machine evrey 5 or 7 years. Just ask for the diagnosis from your previous doctor in the U.S and bring to a Canadian Cpap supplier and get a new machine. The prices have come down drastically here in Ontario as I rec...

Re: NEW Machine

Forget about my last 2 questions. I came a cross the thread titled "Resmed S9 Elite Tear down with pictures". Instead of swapping motors I just swapped the circuit board and top cover from the VPAP Auto to the S9 Elite. No more motor noise. Technically I did swap motors.. Easy peasy and took about a...

Re: NEW Machine

Well I jumped through all the hoops with insurance for the last small amount they would pay for and it's all approved. Our provincial government insurance covers most at 70%.

Re: NEW Machine

Again thanks for the reply. I do have have a PR system1 Auto SV Advance in the closet which can be used for camping duties. I found it was a little too aggressive for me and preferred the S9 Vpap Auto and its more basic functionality to that of the servo ventilator. The convenience of the 12 volts w...

Re: NEW Machine

Thank you for the reply. It appears as though all the PR machines are sold out any ways. My main concern was being able to take control of the machine and you answered my question.

When downloading data Sleepyhead is only reporting about 1.5 hours of sleep whereas Encore pro 2 shows the entire night on its charts and graphs. Any one have any thoughts and ideas as to why this is happening? I would like to see the entire night on sleepyhead as well. Right now it only shows from ...
