I think it would work. I would never purchase power tool batteries just for CPAP backup, but I have half a dozen Ryobi batteries that I use with my power tools. The ResMed Power Station (RPS) II is 97 Watt hours and will run the S10 for up to 13 hours according to ResMed. The S11 is quite a bit more...

There are a pretty wide range of solutions available depending on your exact needs. The ResMed web site lists several solutions, and many online CPAP suppliers carry 3rd batteries that are specific to the S11. These tend to be fairly expensive ($350 or so). Most will run the machine for 8 to 10 hour...

I have a Z1 which is the same physically. You use a regular hose with the mask the same as any other machine. Just attach the hose to the machine and the mask to the hose like a home machine. It would work directly attached but there wouldn't be enough tube length for most people to be able to use it.

You should see a sleep specialist. The machine will show your doctor the basic statistics without any other software, take it to the doctor. No doctor should ignore an AHI of 16, it would be malpractice. It would be interesting to know how many clear airway apneas and CSR events prior to the surgery...

I've been using the AirTouch N30i for a couple of weeks. My take: The cushion works just fine in the AirFit frame, if you are using dither the P30i or N30i you can just purchase the just cushion and use your existing frame. The AirTouch frame is exactly the same as the AirFit version, except that th...

ResMed changed the design. The older square bottoms tended to crack and leak, the round ones are supposed to be better. They work the same.

The humidifier draws much more power than the machine. The S11 is more efficient than the S10, the S11 uses the same blower as the AirMini so it's probably quite low. The hose uses less than the humidifier, but likely as much or more than the machine as well. Basically its always possible to make a ...

I"ve gone through many DME's with medicare. All terrible. I switched to an online supplier who is much better. Aeroflow....

I just got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089W44YZR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I use a p30i, I like not messing with the tube and it helps prevent leaks when I roll around. I don't know how well it would work with a front entry mask, but the concept is great for top entry masks. I don't...

It would help to know what machine you are using. Is there a reason the doctor prescribed CPAP rather than Auto CPAP? Your AHI is quite low, excellent in fact. But the events you do have are nearly all central or hypopnea, and there are examples of obstructive evets followed immediately by central e...

I can't sleep with my machine unless I use a noise generator. Its not that my machine is noisy (ResMed S10, now ASV) as much as I hear the noise changing as I breath. I use a small Electrofan noise generator set right next to the inlet side of the machine. I also have found that some masks are noisi...

I had an issue with the strap slipping up the back of my head when I moved around on the pillow causing large leaks. I discovered that the headgear for the Respironics DreamWear pillows mask fits the N30i and P30i quite nicely. It eliminated most of my leak problems. Its is the newer one that has 2 ...

I just tried the ResMed AirTouch N30i nasal mask for the first time. The AirTouch N30i uses an impregnated cloth rather than the inflatable silicone. I was impressed. I couldn't use the silicone version of the N30i (AirFit) because it leaked too much, the AirTouch with the cloth seal was much better...

I use both the Respironics DreamWear pillows and the ResMed P30i. They are very similar, there are things that I like about each. I sleep on my back and both sides, but not on my stomach. Both are double vent, one at the top and another in the pillows. I don't have any problem if one side hose is cr...

I have complex apnea and have switched to an AirCurve 10. I find that setting the minimum support to 0 helps. If the machine needs more it will take it. When I used APAP, EPR increased the number of central apneas dramatically. The minimum support acts a lot like EPR since it creates a constant diff...
