Re: Question for Pugsy: FLOW LIMIT?
Miss Emerita, Thanks for the response; and the settings recommended and I appreciate you interpreting my data precisely. So I would suggest you set your PS to 4.8, your min EPAP to 5.8, and your max IPAP to 10.6 (4.8 + 5.8). This will eliminate pressure variation and provide the pressure support you...

Re: Question for Pugsy: FLOW LIMIT?
Assuming the flow limitations are NOT related to nasal congestion...if you are experiencing much nasal congestion we need to have a different discussion. Nasal congestion, not an issue since throat surgery. Allergy responses (although was never a problem) are few and far between. Since the surgery,...

ResMed AirSense 10 Pump Motor Replacement
For the DIYers out there: I found these in Ifixit and Youtube; enjoy! Note: NEW Pump motor parts appear to be 'unavailable' online. Occasionally you'll find used-or 'pre-owned' parts on eBay, craigslist - but who knows the condition? From Ifixit.. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/ResMed+AirSense+10+Pump...

Re: mold in humidifier
Mold/mildew in the humidifier will not occur if you do 'basic' maintenance. Mind you reading about maintenance and 'doing' maintenance are two very different things! There are numerous ways too simplify this process, and what I do works well for me. Living in Houston (already a humid place) my humid...

Re: Stale Tank Smell
…AND ANOTHER THING… For those of you who have Resmed Airsense 10 machines: The water tank gasket (as I call it), the silicone piece sandwiched between the upper and lower part of the water - be sure to submerge this under soapy water for several minutes. Use a q-tip to clean all the grooves on both ...

Re: Stale Tank Smell
I’ve been on this cleaning routine for several years; it’s a combination of (1) recommended instructions provided by my DME supplier, (2) what I’ve read in this forum, (3) tip-tricks from YouTube and (4) my own ideas. Air out your tank twice a week: The days you need to fill up your tank, air out yo...

PAP Filter Alternatives for Resmed S10 and S9s + F&P Eson
I’m astonished at the price of replacement PAP filters! I replace my PAP filter every-other-week-or-so. Depending on color change, dust particle accumulations (or not), it’s a quick change-out. I do keep my household quite dust-free and dust my bedroom every week to so. That said, I do find the cost...

Re: travel machine
Travel machine or not? Rather than purchasing a device specifically for travel, may I suggest an alternative? Just a thought and something for you to digest without knowing your scope and intensions. Depending on the type and age of your machine, purchase an new home CPAP and use your old one as the...

Re: Melatonin
First and foremost: a shout to 'rzw', thanks for the info - good to know other alternatives. Second, I've cut-and-paste my comment from an October 2017 post. Note: medicated outcomes are varied from each individuals. This posting/comment is something that works for me - it may not work for others. S...

Re: Resmed My Air
FYI: The newer Resmed AirCurve and AirSense devices no longer have the SD card - only cellular comm capabilities to the Resmed mainframe and your supplier's database. The other alternative is using an oximeter. Wearing another device whilst I sleep is something I don't want to do. I just got a new ...
