Re: How to test a Climateline heated hose

The S10 Climate Line hoses have 3 pins at the electrical connector, and the newer S11 hoses have 4 pins. I'd like to know how many users even own a DVM, much less how to use it. That said, on A11 the outer 2 pins are the thermistor contacts, inner 2 the heater (they now have separate grounds). I th...

Re: How to test a Climateline heated hose

The definitive manual for troubleshooting ResMed Climateline tubing and similar devices is covered extensively in Electrical Testing And Maintenance Handbook, Vol. 11, AKA "The Electrician's Bible". Referring to Chapter 5, page 86, it is noted that evaluation of heated tubing can be classified into...

Re: 12mm micro-flexible Dreamstation 2 tubing?

I should have mentioned that on the Resmed hose I have an extension on it which makes the end more flexible and closer to the 12mm hose. It doesn't appear to be available presently on Amazon (was about $10US), but possibly might be found on a CPAP supply retailer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GKBX88...

Re: 12mm micro-flexible Dreamstation 2 tubing?

I used a DS2 for about 4 years using the 12mm heated tubing. It was extremely flexible and I hardly knew it was attached to the face mask. They held up really well and the hoses lasted for a long time. I do use a hanger that keeps the hose overhead which I think helps keep the hose from being rolled...

Where does that money come from? :wink: Taxes..... :lol: :lol: Unless the OP doesn't pay any taxes for any reason then I guess he pays for it .....just in a different not in your face way. There's a reason the UK has one of the highest tax rates of all the other countries. Kinda like someone here i...

Glad we have the NHS in the UK... as we don't pay for CPAP machines etc
Someone pays for the CPAP machines. Where does that money come from? :wink:

Re: BRAND NEW AIRSENSE 10

For those that may be relatively new to this board, LSAT has been selling CPAP/APAP machines here for a while. I bought an AS10 several years ago from him and I was very satisfied with the machine I bought and the transaction. Don't hesitate to message him if you might have any questions.

Re: Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

FWIW and if it helps anyone else I ohm'ed out the connections on two hoses and they were comparable, so likely not an issue with the hose. The sensor in the hose appears inversely temperature sensitive (temp goes up, resistance decreases. temp goes down, resistance increases). Measurement shown is a...

Re: Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

Heated hose as noted set at 82-84 deg. No hose cover. No gurgling in the hose as 'rainout', so the hose seems to be doing what it should and does feel slightly warm to the touch. The condensation is occurring in the mask. I've kinda wondered if the humidifier heat is not being regulated by the dial ...

Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

I use a F&P Vitera FF mask with my Resmed AirSense 10 Auto. I've finally got the mask adjusted that leaks are at a minimum, but it seems in doing so any excess moisture in the mask is trying to escape through the vent holes in the frame and when it does it creates a sound like a tiny whistling teapo...

Re: AirSense 10 Autoset

I took delivery of a Resmed AirSense 10 Auto from my DME this past week. Manufacture date was 2024 and came with '0' hours. When I had called the DME to check availability of the AS10 they said they had a good number of them in stock as well as the newer AS11's.

Re: PulseOx shopping

Can your current oximeter use rechargable batteries? The voltage is slightly lower than regular alkaline types, but if they could work it would definitely save some money. I couldn't find a downloadable manual for the CMS 50-BT Charger and 8 AAA batteries.... https://www.amazon.com/EBL-Rechargeable-...

Re: 5 Year Replacement & Medicare/Insurance

Any new machines I have seen always have ZERO run hours. For sure I am going to check the run hours when the RT sets it up for the demo and instructional session. I already have an AS10 (bought it here a few years ago) so am familiar with getting into the menus. I did find some comments in a Reddit...
