Re: Medicare requires repeated new split study? After 15 years of cpap use.
Sleep Dr said the sleep studies done 15 years ago (when originally diagnosed) did not have me off the cpap for 2 full hours (AHI 91 and so they put me on a cpap at the 60-90 minute mark). I don't believe this is true. Speak directly with Medicare to determine. I had a PSG in 2004 and had to dx 2hrs...

Re: set time/date on Philips Respironics xPAP device
Assuming you know how to set the pressures.
I'm curious why you feel you the need to set the date & time?

Re: ResMed Filter Question
i think they might be pieces of the filter breaking off, there are also fibres from the filter sticking through the grill of the filter doorway, so I want to replace the filter to be safe. I'm thinking you have the filter in backwards. When you get new filters, note the two sides are different and ...

Re: New Z2 keeps stopping
While auto start can be the problem so can high leaks or low power. Are you by chance using a battery?
Do you have the right power plug for the country?
As mentioned it is always a good idea to use for a couple weeks at home to work out any bugs and to know IF the pressures for you.

Re: What brand of airline approved battery do you use for Dreamstation?
Recently upgraded to Dreamstation 2 and unfortunately the battery isn't compatible with my new machine. You don't say why it isn't compatible? Could it be it needs a different power cord? https://www.google.com/search?q=freedom+cpap+battery+dreamstation+2&sca_esv=b7c0b9c8093215b7&sca_upv=1&ei=8A4jZ...

Re: Resmed water chamber issues
We haven't tried the dishwasher method either, didn't want to risk it since it has rubber seals etc in the tray. Everyone here does their thing differently. For me, I use only distilled water and find I don't have to clean the chamber. The main reason is tap water leaves minerals that bacteria feed...

Re: New Machine
I don't have insurance so I'll just be paying cash. What make/model cpap do you have now? You can save a bunch of cash n grief if you buy whatever model you have now. Hopefully its a Resmed AS 10 auto? The 11 has nothing you need to pay extra for. Pugsy musta been typing while I was. She shows you ...

Re: My Lucky Day
Reminds me - that's all I use at home is a DC power cord. So I didn't have to buy a new DC power cord either. I only use the AC cord when I travel. Then there are all the filters I also have.

Re: My Lucky Day
I forgot to mention the included SD card AND a carry case for the SD card. I suppose it is so you can carry the card to your Dr?
So if you aren't getting an SD card with your brand new zero hour AirCurve 10 then your equipment dealer (DME) is stealing it.

Re: My resmed shuts down when it gets cold
I notice when it gets to 14´ Celsius and my CPAP machine power adapter and machine get cold it shuts down and gotta warm them up for it to work when unplugged and replugged. I'm wondering if you're having a problem with the power supply dropping low? Any idea what the AC voltage is doing when this ...

My AC 10 Auto is getting old. So I hooked up with Areoflow Sleep who takes Medicare and was able to get another AC 10 Auto before there are none and I would have to get an AC 11. So now I have a spare power supply, water chamber, heated hose, AND a spare AirCurve 10 Auto BiPap AND a Travel Bag. Even...

Re: Airsense 10 cutting in and out
Hopefully, the barrel connector is not damaged.
There are 3 separate points along the power cord that plug into other parts. Not to mention, I have seen wall outlets that simply won't hold on to the plug.
