My wife and I have slept for years with a brick under the legs at the head of our bed. At what angle do you maintain the elevation of the head side of the bed, for this reduction in peak pressure? You can use a brick as suggested or a 3" section of 2x4 placed under the head of the bed. If you need ...

Merry Christmas ALL Y'all and your shadow too

I have happily used a cpap for about 16 years. I'm on my third machine. I plan to travel extensively next year. This will involve handling my own luggage many days. I don't know how I will be able to deal with the weight of dragging my cpap from pillar to post. If placed within a suitcase, it restr...

I feel like I am repeating myself but you can increase the pressure to quasi compensate but no setting will be able to help detect events (any events) because of the damping effect that putting obstacles in the tubing causes. Maybe that is why you are so irritable. your igornance makes me irritable...

The point of all of this is there is definitely a restriction and resulting reduction in airflow which does impact the users therapy - whether you want to admit it or not - just please stop misleading people. yes, please do stop spreading your bullshit. resmed s9 and as10 machines have a setting, A...

Ok..thanks. Any suggestions about what I should use? The cheaper the better. I say try what you have to see if it meets your needs. But do try it at home before the power goes out. Searching this forum you will find plenty of ideas and debates about batteries. Many here use the Sears 1150 jumpstart...

Perhaps you can return to the OPs question - "Is it OK to put drops in water of the humidifier?" My allergies are worse with CPAP. It creates these awful fluid-filled bags under my eyes. If I sleep without CPAP the bags diminish or go away. I just cannot keep up with this constant cleaning of the ma...

The filters are made by Respironics the same folks who make my bi-pap. I would think they would be safe. These type of filters were made and designed to be used on machines which used a separate stand-alone humidifier, before the M-series and tank models. If you will read the instructions you get w...

your ignorance is showing. resmed disagrees with you. Your ignorance is not understanding that Resmed does not make these filters. Maybe YOU need to call them. they are generic anti-bacterial after filters for cpap use. resmed has a setting to compensate for anti-bacterial after-filters. why's this...

you should probably call up resmed and tell them this, so they can remove the settings in the machines that compensate for those filters. No need to call. If you think about it there would be no need to "compensate for those filters" if there were no flow restriction. And if you are using an auto c...

btw I do believe that breathing hydrogen peroxide can cause cancer. Bleach and vinegar are both irritants. Stick with distilled water and you can't go wrong.

I had terrible issues with allergies. I use these inline filters: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/Respironics-in-line-outlet-filter-bacteria-cpap-bipap-5-pack.html They really help. I change them out about every 3 weeks. During the Ragweed season I changed them out weekly. I I wish you well... Any...
