Indeed, they fought me tooth and nail, claiming my failing machine meant nothing as I was out of my compliance period. BS, it's MY health! :x Thankfully, my company has a Healthcare Advocate service included in my benefits. They got me in touch with management at my insurance, who gave me the inside...

Thank you. I thought it was BS; every interaction with that person has been BS.

she thinks I make have burnt out the motor with humidity set at 7.

For the same reason you can't blow your car engine by turning up the cabin heat, you can't turn out your CPAP motor by turning up the humidity.

Three weeks after my insurance approved a new machine early, I finally received the latest ResMed AirSense 10 yesterday. The MES upgraded me to heated tubing and changed my mask to a DreamWave, as she thinks I make have burnt out the motor with humidity set at 7. I registered 8h17m of great sleep la...

After a month of multiple frustrating calls with my medical equipment supplier, insurance, and doctor, I received word yesterday from my doctor's office that they were able to get early (it's not quite 5y) approval for a new CPAP setup that would be covered by my insurance. I'm calling my medical eq...

The AirSense 10 is a great machine, but like anything, can go bad. I had an adventure with my first unit. The initial symptom was smart start went wonky. OK, I could have turned that off, but I shouldn't have to. The other issue is that I would wake up several times a night gasping for air. The DME...

Have you had a thunderstorm power outage ? A few years ago, during the night a thunderstorm rolled through, power went out, once power was restored my Resmed cpap didn't work properly, stating unit was unplugged, when it wasn't, incorrect data etc.... I can't remember exactly, what got messed up du...

Okay....last idea I had shot down. It was a long shot hail mary anyway. :lol: Something is likely wrong with either a sensor or writing any data to the SD card. It's shutting off all on its own which is never good. I am of the opinion that when I can't trust a machine I need to go find a machine th...

Try turning SmartStart off and see what happens.

Thank you. SMARTSTART OFF was one of the options I've tried a couple of times. No luck, but thanks!

Last night's data with a new 32G SD card installed. No luck; it wasn't the SD card.

I would say your machine is malfunctioning and not working anymore. I have the same machine and weird things starting happening last week and it would turn off in the middle of the night and the hours would not report correctly. It would also say the tubing was blocked and but the tubing was fine. ...

However, the machine's display shows bad data as soon as I turn it off in the morning. Does the machine write to the SC card throughout the night, or only when if uploads via WiFi to myair.resmed.com? I ask because one time I loaded OSCAR immediately in the morning before WiFi upload, and it showed...

Ask your insurance company directly if they require a new sleep study to get a new machine since yours appears broke. Don't ever, ever take the DME's word on things like this....go straight to the source. I don't know your insurance but even Medicare doesn't require a new sleep study if a machine n...

For what it's worth, here's last night's data using a different power cord (same transformer/brick, though) and outlet. I tried to turn off the ramping feature, but the feature was permanently ON and not changeable. I was going down this path because it seems the first time the machine stops recordi...

The only thing I would rule out is a reporting error caused be a corrupt/bad SD Card, by swapping it out. I might think reporting error (either machine or bad SD card) if the OP wasn't reporting waking up and the machine being off and his feeling of suffocation causing distress. Makes me think the ...

Unfortunately the OP's DME is an idiot and thinks that if you combine all these interruptions and it adds up to 4 hours then everything is all hunky dory. Absolutely. The only thing I would rule out is a reporting error caused be a corrupt/bad SD Card, by swapping it out. Then, if the problem persi...
