Hmm I've read reports like this that make it sound like it's an open issue. https://www.propublica.org/article/philips-recall-machines-chemicals-of-concern?_sp=278114c9-b3b5-475f-b18a-efd709a6458b.1784295787305 https://www.mddionline.com/regulatory-quality/concerning-chemicals-found-in-replacement-...

What is the deal with the refurbished Dreamstations they sent out to replace units like my System One? Are they safe to use? I thought I read something about them having a foam problem too. Should I just throw it out? Hate to waste such an expensive machine, but to say I don't trust Philips is an u...

pass-through mode and will take over if your house power fails This! One of the most under-rated features for a battery backup. Allows one to run the CPAP through the backup all-night, every-night. Now if there is a power-failure, it switches over to battery and you sleep through it. By drawing off...

no foam in machine

Because Philips used foam that was above legal limits, doesn't mean that all foam is bad, and lack of foam is a selling feature.

is it too much to expect my doctor to review my data at the level of detail OSCAR provides? Do I need to find a different doctor that can actually see and download my data and will put in more effort? I need more support, but I don't know how to get it. Thanks in advance. No, not at all. Are you wi...

Absolutely. Gramps and I have both been mouth-taping for years.

Next time you travel bring the machine with you. Then swap machines.

Now you'll know if its the machine, or environment.

I thought those manometers were only accurate to within 2cm H2O. I thought about buying one myself until I saw that. I think even the cheap ones are accurate. I don't care to have my machine checked with a manometer. If my stats (machine display, OSCAR, or SleepHQ) are good, then I'm good. Example:...

Your conclusions are likely incorrect. Care to post why you believe: had complex, mixed apnea, and how severe it was why it caused you to fail If you had trouble tolerating CPAP 10 years ago, you will likely have a greater difficulty with ASV. If he has complex sleep apnea he is obviously gonna hav...

Why don't you share the specific machine.

• The mask you have
• The masks that have the right port
• Why you need such a port.
