Re: High leak rate but low AHI

As a side note regarding the Airfit P10, it seems like after so many complaints about the non adjustable strap that it would have been reengineered by now! Complaints?

Re: Resmed CPAP repair

You'll be paying out of pocket for repair seeing it's over 2 years ... I say search for another machine online.. probably much cheaper than a fix.. try SecondWind CPAP or Craigslist.. there was one posted on here not long ago for about $300 .. They're out there .. Just gotta look ...

Re: Is Amazon.com a good place for CPAP equipment?

I found my answer. I found out that ResMed doesn't allow any of it's dealers to sell on Amazon. It is all MAP Priced online. There isn't one authorized dealer currently on Amazon according to ResMed. I will stay away. I will happily save money. I couldn't care less whether it's an 'authorized deale...

Re: How often do you change nasal pillows?

I am 3 months in on my P10 Pillows and they are holding up still... 2 weeks is a little overkill I think.. I do need to replace soon tho I'm thinking, it is a cost thing for me being out of pocket... So if anyone has any they can part with, large Pillows, hit me up... :wink:

NO, PLEASE do not block the vent!
It is necessary to allow the "bad air" (CO2) out,
so you do not suffocate.
The vent air is a nuisance, but totally needed.

OMFG do not block the vents... you will KILL yourself if so!! Shakes head***
