Lost screws to ResMed AirSense 10

I had a cockroach problem in my apartment when I moved in. One day I discovered a cockroach in the water tank of my AirSense 10 so I freaked out and took the machine apart and made sure that none others had crawled in my machine. I found that was the only one. I wasn't even using my water tank most ...

Re: Cheapest good pulse oximeter?

I tried searching for the Contec 50F online, and came across people selling them on eBay used, saying they were floor models, for around $50. I figured that was a good alternative.

Re: How High Do You Fill You CPAP's Water Tank?

After moving to Houston, the ambient humidity is so high that even on low humidity levels, the mask gets water in it. So I think after my first couple weeks here, I haven't used any water. Except when I had a cold.

Ants in my Cpap!

My nightstand is right in front of a window. I’ve had an ant problem in the past. It went away for a while, prior to me getting my CPAP (Resmed airsense 10) a little over a year ago. The ants are back. I killed one the other day on the outside of my water tank. Today I woke up and found that the mac...

Re: Best nasal mask and get Aerocare to give me 3rd mask?

I really like the N20. It is very comfortable to me and has fewer leaks than a ff mask. It is advertised that it fits like 98% of all faces. I don't know about that but it fits mine. :). When I first started out people were kind enough to send me spare masks to try because like you my provider woul...

Re: Best nasal mask and get Aerocare to give me 3rd mask?

Just leave a message with his nurse and say you need a copy of your prescription. In person. Works for me. I just drop in--lets them know I'm serious. I'm not sure there's a nurse there, just a receptionist. They have 5 locations with the sleep lab company and I don't know which hours/days they are...

Re: Best nasal mask and get Aerocare to give me 3rd mask?

My insurance is locked into AeroCare or another local DME. I'm considering going through CPAP.com, but I still have to get a prescription from my doctor. And my lovely sleep doctor that sent me to Aerocare has no way to contact them other than scheduling an appointment for a couple months out. Their...

Re: F30 - sizing, other questions

I didn’t like the F30 in size small because it felt like the nostril holes were too small and didn’t line up right so the mask would shift, I would block the holes and then end up mouth breathing. That would knock the mask loose and I’d wake up with a leaky mask and dry mouth.

Best nasal mask and get Aerocare to give me 3rd mask?

So I’ve had bad luck with the first two masks I got from AeroCare. They may also have given me the wrong size. The second mask (Resmed F30) was worse than the first (Resmed P10). They wouldn’t let me try on the mask prior to permanently choosing it. Or they would only let me try on one of the masks ...
