Re: What Are These Straps Inside an F20 Cushion

I use that mask. Those ligaments help keep the edges from flipping inside out.

DreamStation blower part availability

Does anyone know a source for a replacement blower for a DreamStation? Here's a photo of the old one which has the usual damage from water ingestion secondary to not emptying the humidifier reservoir when packing up the machine for travel. The bearings are not sealed so water gets in and they rust a...

Re: Respironics Moog blower replacment part

I still haven't found a Moog blower for my Respironics. Any ideas? It's Philips part no. 1121549. I'll take a whole Respironics unit.

Respironics Moog blower replacment part

I have a 2017 Philips Respironics Auto BiPAP with a bad Moog blower. (The bottom ball bearing rusts when it gets wet from water intrusion from the humidity reservoir during upset.) I replaced it once before and it again needs a new one, but now the replacement blower is dicontinued and no one has st...

Re: Overfilling Dreamstation Auto-BiPAP humidifier

Is that your cat?
Totally gorgeous!
Yes, thank you, he's my cat, displaying his ongoing fascination with water from the kitchen faucet.

Overfilling Dreamstation Auto-BiPAP humidifier

FYI: My Dreamstation Auto-BiPAP quit the other night with the cryptic error message, "Low Leak: Check Mask and Tube." The user manual, of no help, says "Blockage at tube or mask." No, there's no problem with the mask and tube. The provider manual doesn't cover malfunctions. The service manual echos ...

Re: Can't solve leaks, despair setting in, could use ideas

I agree with TedVPAP. You should find a physician (usually a psychiatrist) who will give you something potent enough to let you sleep. You need to break the viscous cycle with prescription drugs--they're not the enemy. What's worse: Taking prescription drugs or not sleeping? I'll take the drugs any ...

Re: CMS50D+ detailed data

Not sure what you mean about address at the bottom I meant shown at bottom, meaning these two links: https://imgur.com/L1KSV5o https://imgur.com/7f5s6VO Are you able to see the images when you click the links? I uploaded those without an Imgur account, and I don't see that Imgur window you posted, ...

Re: CMS50D+ detailed data

Here's how I got the job done. The open-source version of Qt is free. I downloaded and installed it. Then I opened the GitHub project that I mentioned in my previous post. Hit play and you get the working window shown in the first screenshot. Give it the filenames and you get the .csv file. Voila. T...

Re: CMS50D+ detailed data

CP, I did try that, but it does not export the detailed data. The most I've gotten is the oximeter statistics. I think this feature in SleepyHead has not been completed as of yet. Some general googling shows that this issue began in 2014 with the introduction of the .SpO2 file format to the CMS50D w...

CMS50D+ detailed data

The issue is how to get the detailed data, i.e. the actual data points. I can upload to SpO2 and, on some computers at least, to SleepyHead. Both appear to upload the detailed dataset, but I don't see any method of exporting it to, or saving it as, a text or spreadsheet format. Can anyone tell me ho...
