Re: PR-500T12 is the dsx?

I think (can't swear to it though) that the letter after the 500 and the number after that denotes humidifier being packaged with the box and the heated hose or regular hose being included in the package. All these cpap manufacturers offer various "packages" that cpap suppliers can buy. Maybe one b...

Re: PR-500T12 is the dsx?

Here are the correct model numbers - http://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HCNOCTN447/dreamstation-pap-therapy-system If it were me, I would make sure to get the DSX500T11 - DreamStation Auto CPAP with humidifier and heated tube. That's the one I want but can't find it near me. Heard the ab...

Re: PR-500T12 is the dsx?

Where are you located? USA or somewhere else? Respironics might be having different numbers for different parts of the world. They did that with the PR System One Auto cpap...in the US it was the 560 and in Canada it was the 561. It was the same machine just with different numbers. I found this one...

PR-500T12 is the dsx?

The store near me has the PR-500T12 as model is this the same as the dreamstation dsx? I've been google searching the model they list and can't find it anywhere but the store. Also what are the thoughts on the airsense 10 vs the PR-500T12. Is there any differences?

Re: Good Canadian online retailers?

You've asked about buying online, so why not ignore the people you met at the store and go online at least to first check out what you want and go to the dealer only once you have a good idea of what that is (we can advise on most machines and masks). And if you get lousy service, tell them and go ...

Re: Good Canadian online retailers?

Thanks for the replies, I actually had a bad experience the 2 times I went to cpapclinic. I can never get a straight answer from salesman, can you give me a name for the salesman you used? I keep reading about people using cpapclinic but I've actually had an opposite experience. My wife went both ti...

Good Canadian online retailers?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good online cpap machine / mask dealer in Canada? I found many online but mostly when looking into them I find out that they are pretty shifty and have some very bad reviews. I'm not sure how it works online but I do need one that will take my prescription and...

Re: Diagnosed with OSA but low AHI?

Sorry can't give you the data as they forgot to return my sd card for the trial unit. What happened was when I went to him with the unit he extracted the data from the sd card and asked me about my fatigue. I told him about no changes and he said sorry can't help you and left the room. Didn't get a ...

Diagnosed with OSA but low AHI?

I was diagnosed with OSA to my surprise due to fatigue issues that started suddenly 3 years ago. Any way I had my cpap machine for 30 days so far and while collecting data it shows that my AHI level is 0.7. Doesn't this mean I don't have sleep apnea? My fatigue issues are the same as before I starte...

Re: Whats the treatment if CPAP machine does nothing?

Whoa... I'm up here too, and what you're saying is nonsense! Your results are yours by law, so get them from your MD's office and tell us what's what. Second, have you been tested for thyroid problems? Vit D and/or hormone levels? Anything else? Are you (and please don't take offense) overweight? Y...

Re: Whats the treatment if CPAP machine does nothing?

The community will need more info/data to help you buddy. But for starters, how about another confirmatory sleep study if cost is not a problem? Perhaps you can also post data from your 30 day cpap use, assuming the machine you used was data capable Sent from heaven I'm in Canada, not really possib...

Whats the treatment if CPAP machine does nothing?

I've had a 30 day trial of the apap machine for my supposed sleep apnea (i don't agree with the diagnosis) and it didn't help me at all with my fatigue. What is the next step? Already had my heart tested and it's perfect

How long till you started noticing a difference?

I am new to this and have only had the machine for 2 days but how long did it take you to notice differences. Especially waking up with excessive fatigue, not being sleepy or tired all day after you started using the machine.
