Re: Bought a 2nd-hand CPAP to use until Dr. appt. Can you help me use this properly?

Yeah, I was kind of disappointed when I realized it wasn't the auto one, but its ok. I think just having it and knowing i can use it is helping me mentally. I'll try the higher pressure and see how that works. I downloaded Sleepyhead but I do need to find a card reader. I'll post my results as soon...

I checked the REF# and it’s 37015 (darn typo). I was able to keep the mask on longer last night but used it off and on throughout the night. Unfortunately, that is indeed the pretty useless brick... you'll pretty much be guessing about what to do to make things better.. I'm very sorry. What AHI did...

Re: Bought a 2nd-hand CPAP to use until Dr. appt. Can you help me use this properly?

Hi Everyone; I'm so glad I found this forum from lurking on r/sleepapnea. I recently bought a used (but in great condition) Resmed Airsense 10 CPAP (no auto feature, model 30715) I don't believe that's the right number, look on the back for a REF number. I’ll double-check on the REF when I get home...

Re: Bought a 2nd-hand CPAP to use until Dr. appt. Can you help me use this properly?

It's a shot in the dark as far as settings. It's a fixed pressure machine and there is no way to tell what pressure setting you will be comfortable with or what setting will do you any good. Do you know what settings are on the machine? Pressure? EPR? Ramp? Humidity? Here's the clinical manual for ...

I recently bought a used (but in great condition) Resmed Airsense 10 CPAP (no auto feature, model 30715) from a man off craigslist. I'd love to get some tips and encouragement to make sure I'm using it properly until I can get...
