Re: How do I download Sleepyhead Software?

I used Sleepyhead previously with great success but I have since changed computers and couldn't/didn't transfer the program. I can open it but all I have is old data. Now I can't remember how I got Sleepyhead in the first place. I've scrolled though some of the posts but haven't found specifically ...

Re: ResMed S9 with 4S LiPo Battery and DC/DC Converter??

Research the charging system Iphone and Ipad, use the same technique, the solution is very easy I also found that Respitonicis fed 12 VDC. if the humidifier heater or the hose is not used CPAP consumes only 500 mA (0.5 Amp (5W), if heated you need 55 W or 5 Amp. The solution, find it by Apple charge...

Re: how to purchase new auto cpap without Rx on cpap.com?

I am really confused by this listing on Amazon. I looked at the Manufacture's page. Is this machine a Dreamstation or a 560? The picture looks like a Dreamstation, but the part number for Dreamstation is DSX500t11. The part number in the Amazon ad is DS560TS. Does anyone know which machine this is?...

Re: Cool Moist Air Need Info

I've wondered about this before, but never looked into it. Our doctor thinks it is awful that neither Gramps nor myself use a humidifier. R/H in our bedroom runs between 35 to 50% winter to summer. I started out using the humidifier, but with Gramps encouragement, I tried it without and had no prob...

Re: Cool Moist Air Need Info

Last night I made two measurements in my CPAP, the first held during the first 15 minutes of operation without humidifier, and the second below the frozen humidifier, the two measurements indicate the air velocity in meters per second, air temperature in degrees Celsius and relative humidity. The me...

Re: Cool Moist Air Need Info

that is a stupid question, there is no "ideal" temperature and humidity. people live in blazing, people live in the arctic, huge differences in temperature. people live in dry deserts, people live in rainforests, huge difference in humidity. There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased...

Re: Cool Moist Air Need Info

For years I was at the other end of the spectrum and thought I needed hot tropical temps and balmy seashore breezes from my CPAP. After a few years I realized it was just mind games I was just playing on myself (nothing wrong with that) and now I simply use normal humidifier settings... 4 on my PR ...

Re: Cool Moist Air Need Info

Two months enjoying the fresh air that gives me the water tank previously frozen.

If it were not for this home remedy, could not withstand the hot or warm air that accentuate the cpap.
