Re: Freedom Battery Issue for ResMed 11

So my ResMed 10 was over 8 years old. Originally my insurance said they couldn't replace it till it broke down. I was like, well what do I do if it does break down? A little while later my screen said the motor had outlasted its service limit, which meant now the insurance would cover a new CPAP. I...

Re: Freedom Battery Issue for ResMed 11

Hello, so I've been doing CPAP Therapy for close to 20 years now, on my fourth machine, a ResMed 11. About 8 years ago I bought a Freedom Battery 12v in case there was a power outage, and my machine was a ResMed 10. Battery worked fine, didn't get used a bunch. Late last year my insurance final oka...

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Ok so in that case there is some process whereby you return the crappy refurbs which makes you eligible for this pool to pay you for your out of pocket. Receipts will be required I'm sure. And if you send back the recalled machines too if not already done so, you get that incentive payment also whic...

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Poetry month starts on Monday. Which reminds me of one of my favorite Haikus: Haikus are easy But sometimes they don't make sense Refrigerator But I digress ... There needs to be the distinction here between the replacement devices and these fixed payments to incentivize folks to return their machin...

Re: Customized Mask

I've probably been through 10 or more different masks, more than half of them some type of full face mask. Also the one total face mask I tried - the Fitlife from Respironics (link below). I'm on pause trying anything new for a while. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respironics-fitlife-total-full-f...

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

I have not attempted anything with this yet. Because Philips portal sucked, and I had to call them, I now have 5 ID numbers instead of three, two refurb machines I have to send back, document that, in order get the refunds for the money I spent on replacements, and send back original crap machines t...

Re: OT: Is it OK if I don't take some articles from Psychology Today too seriously?

Eventually, you might realize that you've given up all of your hobbies—or the ones you still have are very serious affairs. This explains perfectly why I gave up unicycling and balloon animal art hobbies, but kept on with the hobbyist basement brain surgery on the weekends. Now if you'll excuse me ...

Re: Battery Backup solution for Resmed S9 with H5i

Self discharge on these is pretty minimal which I like very much. I've not had to try but I understand they are not good in cold temperatures. Since I live indoors for our northeast winters should be OK :) They all seem to be rated for many times the number of cycles than other chemistries which I g...

Re: Battery Backup solution for Resmed S9 with H5i

Make sure it's a deep cycle battery. Regular car/motorcycle batteries aren't designed to be discharged too far. The deep cycle will let you discharge it almost completely and recharge with a battery tender or charger and still be OK. If by "Regular car/motorcycle batteries" you mean a flooded lead ...

Re: My Resmed Airsense 10 Did Not Come With An SD Card, What Should I Buy?

In this scenario my DME is the zip lock sandwich baggie in my drawer with a few dozen defunct memory devices stored in it. Sadly these Resmed machines don't work with 256MB Compact Flash cards - who knew? :?

Re: SD card . Do I need?

Thanks, I can't get it to start up past the message that no SD card is detected. I wonder if this is something that Lincare programmed in. And if I can turn it off? Hmmm. I recently had my printer stop printing because it detected low toner. Of course there's toner left so I had to track down the s...
