Anyone have Resmed Auto Spirit S/W?
I thought I read someones post a month or more ago that they were willing to share their software with other Resmed users(?) I finally broke down after my insurance ran out and got me the above mentioned machine. The reason I went with the Resmed is that when I asked questions on their website, they...

What's the difference between a ShopVac and a CPAP?
I was visiting one of my favorite online stores, Harbor Freight Tools and see that they have ShopVacs that both vacuum and blow and work in wet and dry modes and only cost $29.99. I had to laugh the other day when my sleep Doc said he couldn't see how those smaller light weight CPAP 's could be effe...

Now are you talking about falling when you get up to go to the bathroom because you got your feet trapped in that long hose on the way to the bathroom? Just trying to navigate all the way around the posts on the rice posterbed, past the cedar chest at the end of the bed, past the wing back chair, pa...

Well I have been on the machine for about 2 months now and I still find myself doing that exact same thing. I’ve concluded it has something to do with the comfort level. The first month or so I would have my mask too loose and it would whistle or gap a lot. The past 2-3 weeks I cinched that baby up ...

Liam , Have you ever checked out http://www.dotmed.com? They have all kinds of used CPAP 's and have seen APAP's there too. They have big equipment also in case you want to start your own sleepstudy business. My wife doesn't think I should buy a used CPAP machine cause it would not be sterile and a...

ComfortFull Mask making clicking sound
I am up early (on the West coast) because my mask is making a strange sound and woke me up. It has happened twice this week. I have a Respironics ComfortFull FF mask. It is making a sound like a float would when it is lifted and closed. I've looked in the mask and see that it has a rubber flap that ...

Mask leak alert?
The Remstar has something called "Mask leak alert". For the life of me I can't figure out what that would mean. Believe me, when my mask leaks (which it does often, I have the Respironics ComfortFull FF mask), I know it and I sure don't need an "extra" alert to let me know. What happens, do you get ...

Ok, now I am starting to understand a little more why you titled this subject the way you did. I just received in the mail today my first invoice from my DME company. I still have insurance this month. They charged my health insurance company $1250! When I picked up the machine in December, I had to...

Does an APAP let you snore?
Ok so the primary reason I went to the sleep Doc in the first place was to minimize my snoring, that my wife says is louder than the afterburner of an F-18 Fighter jet. I have a concern. Someone mentioned (I think it was Mikesus) that his APAP was recording “snores”. Does an APAP allow you to do aud...

JK, Liam ) and that is, all the things that some of these machines do could be really interesting the first day or two, not quite so interesting...

Rested gal, Thank you very much for your explanation. Skipping the data collection differences for a minute, I was under the impression that C-Flex provides the same type of "auto adjusting" when you exhale as an APAP machine would. So what is the difference? Their information on a CPAP C-Flex machi...

I may take you up on your offer to get the information off the Smartcard if I end up buying the Remstar. After reviewing things for many days, it seems the best way to go may be the Remstar Pro C-Flex w/humidifier that cpap.com offers at $613. It comes with the smartcard but not the software. Snoren...

But in order to use the card I would have to have the software to determine what the data is, correct? Muck wrote The Remstar Auto without C-flex is no longer being manufactured because on the the new model the C-flex feature can be turned off. Now that they have added C-Flex, would the Pro w/C-Flex...
