Re: i need a new mask, any sugestions

Hi, Sleep Buddies, Some of you use the P 10 with obvious success. But not me. Just got one and my mouth opens as soon as I drop asleep and wakes me up. Can anyone help me understand how to use this thing? I love the design and would really like to make it work. Nels Some people tape their mouth. So...

AirFit N30 straps also work with P10.
They also have a clasp that allows adjustment when the material stretches out.

Re: Acceptable leak rate?

On ResMeds the threshold for acceptable leaking is 24 L/M, anything above that contributes to reducing the machines ability to detect apneas (or the type of apnea), and therefore reduces its ability to address them properly. The grey bars are the times when the leak rate is above 24 Litres / Minute.

Re: Online Rx and DME

Has anyone used an online telemedicine service to obtain a CPAP Rx to provide to your insurance’s DME provider? How did it work out for you? I spent $90 through healthsqyre for a CPAP Rx. Online DMEs accepted the Rx. The forum sponsor sells a home study for $170 that included a teleconsult for refe...

Re: Magnetic Clips keep breaking.

Are the clips breaking at the same place?

If not, I'd guess you just got a bad batch.

If yes, strengthen the weak area.
Try thickening the area with epoxy, or baking soda and super glue (cyanoacrylate).

Best of luck.

My autoset is just under 2 years old
ResMed has a two year warranty.

It wouldn't hurt to try for a warranty repair.
If it is denied, you're no worse off.

Re: Feeling so tired after 1 month of using Resmed Autoset Airsense10

I mean I know how to change settings but it's not allowed by medical providers. I just can't because they would see and stop to lend me the machine, unfortunately. Are you absolutely sure about that? Like you, arezius is in France. He adjusts his own settings. And he has not reported his doctor obj...

Re: 15 days with ResMed AutoSense CPAP: Seeking Advice on Mouthbreathing

F20 mask. But I found it very difficult to use. It made me very claustrophobic Should I continue with F20 and persist with it despite being an active sleeper? Or would you suggest that I move to N20? Or would using F20 only on the days my nasal congestion is worse be advisable. You can consider a t...

Re: Philips Dreamwear Nasal Cushion-Manufacture Issues

There is a medium wide size (MW) for these cushions.

It's still a QA problem, but could it be that a MW lot was mislabeled as M?

Re: I just found out that I have very bad bruxism and tmj

Do NOT use the TAP PAP CPAP mask that uses a mouthpiece attached to the nasal mask. The TAP PAP states in its description that it's function is to move the lower jaw (mandible) forward, in addition to holding the nasal mask in place. Mandibular advancement devices are not recommended for TMJ patien...

if folk actually used the quote feature, it would be a hell of a lot simpler.
@zonker Thank you for clarifying.

Using paragraphs instead of "wall of text" would also make it easier to read and understand.
