Re: Risks of using Cpap

Can the longterm use of Cpap cause abdominal pains and Laryngitis conditions? Which Cpap and mask is effective? What causes coughs whilst using a Cpap? no. have been on CPAP for ten years and no health problems that can be attributed to it's use. masks are highly individual and you may have to try ...

Re: What's going on at cpap.com?

well, this sucks. I don't need anything currently, but I always tried to steer people that way.

bet the new folk give even less of a shit when cpaptalk.com has software problems.

Maybe that's why they're called papmd. MD's in their sleep labs do need to sanitize between patients.
true. but as grumpy48 points out, they are being sold on Facebook, though like they point out there doesn't seem to be a link.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Papmd cleaning sheets

These are not wipes. You dissolve a sheet in warm water and soak your CPAP tube, mask, etc. for 5 minutes to sanitize everything. I want to stress that you don't need to sanitize anything on or around a CPAP machine. the only thing that goes through the machine is the very same air you breathe each...

Has anyone used them? Thoughts?
no I haven't as I see no need to get fancy. go to your local drugstore or supermarket. look for baby wipes. they will prolly be much cheaper particularly if they are generic.

I've been using them for ten years and haven't had any problems.

good luck!

What's the fire pitt's AHI?
I don't know what AHI is, but if you mean AQI it's definitely improved by having the cpap running.
no, he means ahi which stands for Apnea-Hypopnea Index. t'is a joke.

Re: Why does Oscar and SleepHQ hightlight RERA lower than 10 secs?

ok thanks... it wasn't a criticism... I would think its hard building a reporting system, which covers all suppliers, when they have different ways to deal with Apnea it seems. I think the Lowenstein machines are relativity new to Oscar etc as you wish. but I do think he'd like to know so that he a...

Re: Why does Oscar and SleepHQ hightlight RERA lower than 10 secs?

Thanks for the link to the Lowenstein PrismaTS software! Its certainly better than Oscar or SleepHQ... as they seemed to be more designed for Resmed etc. if you wish, you may report this all to the forum member blue dragon. he is one of the people working on oscar and would welcome the feedback. he...

Re: Why does Oscar and SleepHQ hightlight RERA lower than 10 secs?

Our NHS in the UK only seem to look at AHI and leaks and of course how long you use it for. believe me, the same is true here in the former land of the free. and then they say an ahi of 5 is fine. here in the forum, we look at an ahi of 2 to be fine. whether UK or US, doctors pretty much just want ...
