Good morning everyone I’m just wondering if anyone sends their machine out to have it calibrated and cleaned and tuned up yearly. I came across a company That Repair’s CPAP that is factory authorized. They recommend even if your CPAP or BiPAP auto Pap or whatever is working fine it should be sent i...

If my equipment choice is poor, it isn't cast in concrete. I chose the AirStart because I'm a novice and it appeared to have features and performance similar to the Dreamstation, lest I run into a brick wall like "What is this patient's medical or financial justification for the AirSense 10 Autoset...

taken your sage advice and asked my DME provider for a ResMed AirStart 10 APAP. I have NEVER recommended an airstart machine, and I never will. You're just not paying attention. Once more, with feeling Resmed AirSense 10 Autoset . Actually, your only advice to me was "Get a Resmed". You certainly d...

it to the sim card One is amazed that someone who alleges to be so technical as yourself, doesn't know the difference in a SIM card and a SD card. :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm trying to be respectful, not a smart**s. All those plug-in thingies look the same to me. The difference is - I'm a ha...

Some people have trouble with words, don't make fun of their disabilities. "Breath assist" was the first description that came to mind. I believe if you Wikipedia under "CPAP", it, or a similar term, was used by the author, who appears to have the same verbal handicap. Nope. Unless by "similar" you...

Btw, the EPAP waveform reported by the current released version of Oscar is incorrect for PR Dreamstation CPAP/APAP. It is reportedly the rolling average pressure over a 2 minute pressure. It is not EPAP. I don’t know whether that is the average commanded pressure or measured. The IPAP waveform app...

I've been on breath-assist therapy for 2 months. Breath-assist therapy?????? Some people have trouble with words, don't make fun of their disabilities. "Breath assist" was the first description that came to mind. I believe if you Wikipedia under "CPAP", it, or a similar term, was used by the author...

Make sure the pantie liner or pad is unscented.

I'm a belly sleeper and mouth breather who has drooling issues. I just don't like nasal masks. I'm also concerned anything I put inside my mask might be swallowed, so I tried something with a "safe" adhesive - a piece of one of my wife's sanitary napkins, pantie liner or pad. If they're allowed anyw...

it to the sim card One is amazed that someone who alleges to be so technical as yourself, doesn't know the difference in a SIM card and a SD card. :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll eventually find out why the Respironics sensor readout isn't available, at least in OSCAR. It's not available becaus...

Those of you who question why your OSCAR pressure reading isn't varying - the RED trace - what you may be seeing isn't the actual sensed pressure - it's the programmed pressure. You're neither crazy nor stupid. Put your mind to rest. If you have an APAP, set to Ramp, the programmed pressure will ra...

Dear chicagogranny, I've been on breath-assist therapy for 2 months. 1 month ago, my Philips DreamStation APAP pressure was raised from 8 to 10 cm by my sleep therapist. I've set the C-flex pressure relief to 3 cm. That's not how *flex works, it varies, but never gets to 3cm drop. and exhaling, a b...

Somewhere, a readout should indicate cyclical pressure variation from 10 to 7 cm. How would this help any patient improve his therapy? Dear Chicago Granny, Thanks for the feedback. At this point, I don't think it would. But I'm also a biomedical electronics engineer (plz see my profile). Yes, I'm a...
