Re: Problem with new Z2 travel CPAP

That improve it quiet a bit - not great, but good enough for a night or two away, or a night without power at home.

However still no where near the comfort and flow of my home S9 unit.

Wondering if the Resmed AirMini would work better.

First of all, if you don't use the ramp on the old machine, make sure it's turned off on this one. Likewise for "expiratory relief."

Ok will do that - I believe the expiratory relief (zbreathe) is from 1-3 no "zero" I will set it to 1

Problem with new Z2 travel CPAP

I have a resmed S9 that has worked wonderfully for me. My pressure script is 11. I bought a new Z2 last month for travel and backup - last night was my first night with it - and it was not good. I feel like I am sucking air though a straw. In fact my breathing - actually sucks in and then expands ou...

Re: Travel questions 4 a bipap user

I had not seen my CPAP doctor in 4 years - had to go see them to get a prescription for a travel unit. Can't get one without a current prescription. Also most insurance wont pay for a travel unit (USA)

Z1/Z2 Travel CPAP Bag find.

As a new Z2 owner I was disappointed they discontinued their soft-side travel case and instead sell a travel bag/sack. A little comparison shopping yielded this alternative. The shape is good and would fit in my normal backpack used for work or travel. I will add a medical device tag as well. https:...

Re: First impressions on Airfit F20 full face mask.

Resmed recommends that the gasket be replaced once a month. We only change things when they need to be changed, not when the insurance is willing to purchase new ones for us. Agree completely - and everyone has different wear on their systems - what works for someone up to 6 months might be 3 with ...

Re: First impressions on Airfit F20 full face mask.

I noticed this limitation of the memory foam in the reviews before I bought - so I got the silicone one for now. but "thinking of it " for the travel mask... not the home mask. I travel at most a week a month - and usually only 4 days a month. So I suspect I could get 4 months out of a foam gasket f...

Re: First impressions on Airfit F20 full face mask.

As does yours. Resmed recommends that the gasket be replaced once a month. https://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/products/resupply/knowing-when-to-replace-your-supplies.html Of course they want to sell parts, but I normally see 2-3 months now before I need to replace for good fit, same with head str...

First impressions on Airfit F20 full face mask.

I have been 4 years + user of the Mirage Quattro. It has worked okay for me, but I would say I go through seals fast. As part of my adding a travel CPAP machine (Z2) I wanted to give a smaller face mask a try for my travel kit and got the Airfit F20 mask. I have not tried the Z2 machine yet (will so...

Re: Anyone bought a CPAP Cleaner?

I use wipes daily. I wash the mask and hose about once a month with hypoallergenic body soap. My humidifier tray (I have two) goes in dishwasher.

Re: Travel CPAP

After some research and recommendation from my sleep doctor - the winner was the HDM Z2 CPAP.

Got it last week. Also ordering a separate mask to go with it.

Re: Z2 Auto Travel CPAP - First impressions.

Thanks for the review. Never had a travel machine. My new z2 is sitting on a table while I order 1) A Mask for Travel (Airfit 20) and 2) Look for a travel bag - why did they discontinue that neat looking travel case ?!. Having never had a travel CPAP - its very small, but there are alot of little pa...

Re: Hello - Travel CPAP

Not to muddy up the waters - but I love my Mirage Quattro full face mask. Anyone ever find a lighter full mask they like for traveling ? Other wise I will use the Quattro.

Re: Hello - Travel CPAP

I've got one on order that should ship on 3/26. I had a Z1 Auto. I used it one night. My sleep was OK. 3 AHI. Similar to my Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset. The unit did have some noise issues. I was OK with it, but my wife veto'd it after one night. I would have kept the unit. The noise was not an issu...
