Re: Extension cords

I use this for travel with my Airsense 11 and my Airmini. Obviously wouldn't work with a generator but it's quite compact and give me about 5 1/2 ' extra reach plus provides USB charging ports and extra outlets. Comes in handy when you've got a bunch of people trying to charge devices and a shortage...

Re: Airsense 10 portable battery/power source help!

Define "portable"

A 35 AH 12 volt battery and the ResMed converter are the best solution but it's not back packing weight. It'll need to be recharged after a few days but it lasts longer than other solutions. A bigger 12 v battery will last even longer

After market replacement for ResMed P10 headgear/strap?

Sorry if this has been covered but any search I try gives thousands of results. I'm seeking a cheaper option for what is essentially an elastic strap with a couple of holes. $28 is insane. Several are available online but reviews indicate they run small and I have a big melon of a head. Any recommen...

Re: CPAP Travel Tips?

FYI, the CPAP carryon exclusion is a U.S. thing. I was able to get a waiver from Ryanair in the U K. but that was an exception and a PITA. Usually it was my personal item. Also, all my ResMeds work anywhere in the world if you have a plug adapter. The power brick does the power voltage conversion. A...

Re: Resmed airsense 11 odor?

The "new car" smell in my 11 went away with the the first sink washing a week into using it. BTW, remember to wash the air inlet valve from inside also. You washed the machine in the sink :?: :?: Uh, no.. mask, cushions, tube and air inlet in the sink for a quick soak and a rinse took the odor out ...

Re: CPAP while in hospital for unrelated illness

Take your CPAP with you. I was admitted through the ER for a pulmonary embolism some time back and had my wife fetch my CPAP. They added a "Christmas tree" valve to allow the oxygen feed I was on to be integrated with my CPAP.

Re: daily tub cleaning?

Re: cleaning the 11, I didn't realize until I watched a video that the air vent that the hose attaches to is removable and should be washed weekly. Just remove the tank and there's a little clip to release it and pull it out. Did have to do that with the 10.

Re: AirMini cleaning and maintennce

The air filter on mine requires changing g much more often than my 10, presumably because it's so much smaller. Pretty much after every trip.

Re: Resmed: What not to clean with...And what I should use instead?

7th Generation Free and Clear dishwashing liquid for mask,hose and tank. Soak at least 20 minutes and rinse in hot water once a week. Never had a problem.

Re: Choosing a Battery

I'm currently using a resmed 10 for home and have an airmini for travel if needed, big deep cycle marine battery for home outages with battery tender and the resmed dc converter. I also have a now discontinued Medistron 24 + which I can get a few nights of airmini usage from. I have cables to use th...

Rather than the standard post battery terminal posts they have a flat square terminal with a hole in it. Will the alligator clip connectors on the ResMed kit work with that type connector or do I need some type of converter for the terminals?
Yes. It's what I use.
Thanks!

Re: Choosing a Battery

I've got the ResMed 12 volt conversion kit that I use to run my ResMed 10 off a huge, heavy deep cycle marine battery during power outages. I'd like to use the same setup for camping with a lighter 35 ah AGM battery. Rather than the standard post battery terminal posts they have a flat square termin...
