Re: Which Oximeter to buy with Mac 10.10.4 and SleeyHead 9.8.1

I use both the 50f and 50iw. In my opinion, they are easier to use with SH than the 50d+ but cost a little more. The difference between the f and i are; The i model will record up to 15 sessions and will provide a Perfusion Index value. The f model will only record 1 session and doesn't have a PI va...

Re: How Does One Capture Screenshots of Sllepyhead Data?

While on the preferred screen, press the F12 key. The screenshot will be stored under the SleepyHeadData-Testing->Screenshots folder. As an alternative, you may use the Windows Snipping Tool (Accessories->Snipping Tool).

Talking about being naive, when I saw the phrase "wine website" I thought is was about the Linux WINE project and not the consumable type. Excuse me while I go get a life!

Re: Masks

First, Welcome to the forum! Yes, anybody can use a FFM. The type of mask is up to the user to decide what feels the best and works. I switch between a FFM and nasal pillows. The difference that I experience between the two is the FFM feels more like an indirect pressure and the Nasal Pillows feel l...

Re: CPAP

What Pugsy said +1.

I would like to point out that a rental would probably be a local only option. Using suppliers in the U.S. would be a purchase.

Re: hose hanger options for multiple hotels

I bought one very similar to the one offered by cpap.com. You slide the foot between the mattress and the box springs and it comes with a travel bag. Cpap's looks a little better constructed than the one I bought from Amazon. Not knowing if I was going to like it, I bought on price alone. Here is th...

Re: FitLife total face mask

Welcome to the forum. The short answer is; All masks will fit any machine. Some will come with an adapter. (F&P Simplus comes to mind). The pressure will stay the same. The CPAP determines the back pressure and will adjust the blower to maintain the settings. Also, please go to your profile (User Co...

Re: Two questions

Dogjudge, Sorry for getting your name wrong in my previous post. One of these days I just might learn to read. OK, you're doing the mechanics, but that will only get you so far. After getting humidity, air temp and pressure nailed down you will enter the "art form" of CPAP. This includes the type of...
