Re: Two cpap machines to sell

I have sold two ResMed 10s using my wife's Facebook account (Market Place I think it is called, I have never used FB). ( I have one more to put on the market.) They both sold very quickly to complete strangers and neither has ever called back with any questions. Ideal for folks that cannot afford a ...

Re: Airsense 11 or 10?

I went with AirSense 11 after my AS10 expired. After two weeks of use I returned to AS10. The 11 had a chemical smell to its air output I could not tolerate. The AS10 seems a more solid well-built machine. Doesn't matter much now since you have made the switch, but the 11 should not have had any di...

Re: Airsense 11 or 10?

smaller size (not as tall). The power brick is much smaller than the 10's and along with the smaller size of the 11, the travel case is also much smaller. I use the 10 with the side plate replacing the humidifier. With the humidifier space in the 10 empty, my FFM has a nice compartment for carrying...

Re: Airsense 11 or 10?

I have working units of both APAPs and I am staying with the 11. I have used Model 10s for years, but switched to a Model 11 a few months ago. Differences have been mentioned earlier in this thread, but I like the more modern look and smaller size (not as tall). The power brick is much smaller than ...

Re: Where to buy magnetically connecting hoses?

https://medlockusa.com/ I have two of these and they work great. The main hose connects instantly to the mask hose and no leaks. Easy to separate just a small twist and they unlock. I do not remember if I bought mine directly from the company or through SleepHQ. In any case, great product. BTW -- Th...

Re: Hose getting water in it while I sleep . . .

Make sure that the exhaust vents are not plugged-up. All of sudden a few months ago I started having large amounts of water building up quickly in the mask and main tubing and it was not rainout (no water in the tank, no tank at all; using the bypass module). This went on for several nights of miser...

Re: F&P Nova Micro Nasal Pillow Mask

I have been using the Nova Micro Mask for the last four nights, replacing my long history of only using the P10 Masks. The F&P Mask has had a flat line of "0" in my OSCAR Leakage Reports where my P10s have many leak problems. Very light mask with no noise, but even if there was some our white noise ...

Re: What is the best nasal CPAP mask for not leaking?

The Fisher & Paykel Solo Mask is working fairly well for me after many years using ResMed's P10 Pillow Mask. A nice benefit of the Solo Mask is that you can easily change between the nasal version or a pillow version, The both use the same head gear and you only need to change the silicone face piec...

Re: CPAP and cruise ship electricity

What's the deal with surge suppressors? Below are links to two articles from the USCG about surge protectors. Basically, ships have very different AC power systems than what we have at home, and surge protectors and, in some cases extension cords, can cause serious damage. The cruise lines are cons...

Re: Chili Pad?

We have had a series of ChiliPads over the past several years. They are great at properly controlling the temperature of your bed. Note that the recommended sleep temperature is 65 degrees (bed temperature not the room temperature). This temperature is very difficult to achieve without a cooling dev...

Re: CPAP and cruise ship electricity

I have been on over 25 cruises and CPAP usage rules varies a lot by ship (age of ship mainly). Most cruise lines prohibit extension cords which are needed on nearly all older ships and even many new ships depending the cabin type and other isssues. All cruise lines that I have sailed have a "Special...

Re: Help with my SleepHQ data

I see that you have EPR set as "off", which is typically a good idea. However, in my experience turning EPR "on" has helped tame CA's. Start with a level of "1" and increase if that small change makes a difference. Oddly, weeks after turning EPR on I have had to turn it back off because EPR started ...

Re: Cpap.com prescription no longer valid?

A few months ago, when trying to purchase a new APAP from our friends at cpap.com, I was told that my prescription was no longer valid, no reason offered. I did some fast fact checking and found out that the doctor who wrote the RX several years ago had died and therefore any prescriptions written b...

Re: Wellue O2 Ring multiple sessions during the night

In my experience of using this device, your results are not unusual. I get any number of readings each night from one to as many as four. I have seen no reasons for the differences, but I just upload all of each night's results without any missing data (usually). Maybe just the ring get accidently r...
