Re: Cat has destroyed my hoses!

While cat 'families' may sleep and travel together, cats are not 'pack' animals and may or may not respect 'alphas' as such. If they respect you in general, you may be able to train them to leave the hoses alone, but that's another story. Maine Coons (the breed the person you are responding to has)...

Re: Phillips DS1 vs DS1-replacement vs DS2

Woops... yeah... just found this https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/solutions/sleep/sleep-therapy/sleep-therapy-systems So, in summary, it looks like the white long flat models are always DS1, and the two-tone grey/black fatter models are always DS2 And thus the replacement devices sent out by ...

Re: Resmed Aircurve 11?

Does anyone have any idea what the holdup is? I heard at one point it was the radio but I doubt that's what it is. I assume maybe they were trying to make the air curve 11 easily changeable to a ventilator if covid comes back or something else happens. It just doesn't make sense what's taking so lo...

Re: How High Do You Fill You CPAP's Water Tank?

I fill the tank on my Resmed Aircurve 10 to the max fill line. I usually wake up after about 4 hours, and the water level is down to the lowest line. I fill it back up to the max fill line, and when I get up in the morning it is usually back down to the lowest line. Since the lines are in thirds, th...

Re: IBreeze

From a review I saw online the Ibreeze humidifier tank is really small--somewhere less than 300 ml (I'm thinking they said 280). The tank on my Resmed Aircurve 10 is about 100 ml more than that, and I still end up having to refill after at least 5 hours (I'm on a pretty high pressure). There's no wa...

Re: Dreamstation One Replacement Foam Assembly (With or Without Foam) now Available on Amazon

It's apparently produced by an unknown manufacturer in China. It's sold on Amazon by three different brands whose trademarks are all registered to the same New York company that lists its official address as a virtual address rented out by earthclassmail.com. I'm not sure why I'd trust that any more...

Re: Resmed Airsense 10 foam breaking apart?

I use a Resmed Airsense 10 without a humidifier, so the side cover is just an air pocket with some foam inside. I was cleaning this portion earlier and I noticed some small black specks inside the air chamber, and then one speck inside the air tube itself. I consulted them and they told me that the...

Re: New CPAP- from China?!?

I don't know if it somehow creates a momentary vacuum It does not do that. To create a 'vacuum', it would have to violate the laws of physics, since it's a turbine it would still blow air, (just not nearly as well) even if the motor were running in reverse. That's the difference in that and a plain...

Re: New CPAP- from China?!?

I saw these online and was tempted by it. I didn't know it was from China or that it was only approved by the FDA under an EUA, but I knew it was a new brand I'd never heard of. Wanting something more known and proven, plus the fact I wanted something supported by OSCAR, made me realize I had to get...

Re: have tried so many masks

Anyone have experience with these 2 masks? I have experience with the Airfit F20. My main problem with it is it tends to really dig into the bridge of my nose to the point of leaving a pretty good indentation and soreness. Putting a band-aid across the bridge of my nose helps with that. I've tried ...

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

I asked my wife if it bothered her to sleep next to me because my unit might be off gassing. She said, "We've been married over 20 years. I'm used to it by now." . . . I don't get it. I haven't been on a CPAP that long.
