Airsense 10 Humidifer Not Working - Fuse Change Didn't work, Any Options?

The humidifer on my ResMed airsense 10 has stopped working. It's driving my sinuses a bit nuts. I've tried buying a fuse and replacing it on the fuse plate but that has seemed to do nothing. I'd get a replacement but there's nowhere that takes insurance anywhere that I can find that has an Airsense ...

Any mask can work with most any machine or pressure--but not with any face.
Masks need to fit the FACE---PERIOD!!!
Any provider that claims otherwise has crap to unload.
That's why the masks have adjustments and different sized fittings.

Re: Keep waking up due to massive pressure up my nose

While the AHI is good, the patient is still bothered. This is like the classic example of the doctor reporting excellent health, but that patient reporting that (s)he feels lousy! First of all, the patient only used the machine for two hours, so this is problematic. The insurance companies want you...

Re: a question for those consistently under 5 AHI

And thanks to everyone else who responded. Dadbar1, I've dropped 17 pounds in the last five weeks (thanks in part to that nasty cold going around). My goal was to hit 200 by my 65th birthday in July. With seven pounds to go, I'm now shooting for 190. :) I'm presuming (and hoping) that will help con...

Re: Treating GERD/LES with Ginger and/or Melatonin

Unfortunately I had to stop my melatonin therapy. It was just hurting my sleep quality too much when I got to quantities over 1mg. I'm still in the process of getting accustomed to my CPAP and dialing in the perfect settings so the melatonin is complicating that process. Once I'm confident my CPAP ...

Re: Sleepheros sleep-improvement Thread

No I can't change anything it's hospital locked. The only thing I can change is to turn off/change the ramp, turn off EPR and change humidity level (currently 6). I remember the last night in the hospital reading secretly the instructions for the night team "start at 8 go up to 11, max12". Maybe th...
