I definitely would get the software. Kind like a diabetic monitoring their blood sugar. If you change pressures, try to keep them in a narrow range, say 8-13. If the nose congestion becomes a big problem, you may want to try a full face mask. Not fun, but can help. And be patient, as it took me many...

Maybe she can get that techie to come in here on this thread and explain exactly what he used and how he did it. Sounds like he just place a second replacement cushion (same size) over original.I too wonder how it would stay in place.

Well, guess I am a slob lol. I wash my masks(I have two that I rotate with) every few weeks. I just remove the headgear and wash whole thing in hot soapy water. I don"t take it apart ever. I put a little soap in hose with hot water, shake it and attach it to my faucet-slips on end on mine. Then i ru...

Ultra mirage FF vs Mirage 2 FF

I am buying a replacement mask and as wondering if anyone has tried the Mirage 2? I like my Ultra Mirage but was thinking of trying the Mirage 2? Anyone tried both or the Mirage 2? Seems like it may have more cushion and be more comfortable.

I had problems with my sleep doc getting an auto, so I just went to my family doc. I went in very well informed on what I wanted, why and the benefits. I printed out the mschine etc i wanted and he wrote rx for everything. He was impressed I was so knowledgeable about apnea. So maybe skip sleep doc ...

Your wish list is very good. Make sure it has an humidifier too. And don't let them talk you out of what you want, which is VERY common. They usually try to pawn off a cpap instead of an auto. Good luck.

I have a 420e which I too notice is using lots more distilled water. I fill it up quite a ways above the full line. Its set at about half, and after 7-8hrs, is nearly empty. This started when the temp went down and gas furnance use started, which really dries out the air. And I haven t had any probl...

As one who has fought to get my AHI down from the teens, and who now averages around 5, your observation that 1.8 isn't TOO high is exactly right! Your AHI is very good. Anything under 5 is usually ok. Its great that you are trying to find the optimum pressure, but don't fret on little increases. If...

When I heard I stopped or partially stopped breathing 60 or so times an hour, my reaction was"My heart ain't liking this". It would seem pretty obvious that OSA is a real risk for heart attacks and strokes without any studies. If xpap treatment can stimulate regular breathing, how can it not decreas...
