Re: Flying to Mexico with distilled water and cpap machine
Just use local bottled water. As a frequent traveler to Mexico I’ll second PaleRider’s bottled water comment. Depending on your constitution one should avoid tap water for any use other than bathing, which includes CPAP use. You can find distilled water at most Farmacia’s, but any bottled water is ...

Re: Nose sores making cpap impossible
Something to consider is Bleep, either the original DreamPorts or the new Eclipse. The only connection is with some medical grade adhesive that holds the DreamPorts or Halos to your nose. A few have complained of allergies to the tape, but that seems to be rare. You can contact them and Stuart may b...

Re: ResMed AirSense / AirCurve 10 Humidifier Chamber running dry in middle of the nght
Looks like it was a fun project and quite an ingenious design. You may have a few patentable ideas there, so offering the designs for free is kind of you. One small suggestion is to come up with a way to cover the top of the water storage to filter dust and keep critters out, but still allow air to ...

Re: Bleep Eclipse...so far
Thanks for posting this as I’ve been thinking about doing some “Bleep Tips” from my experiences as a fairly new bleeper of a few months, so here are some subjective responses. One point to note is that Stuart has done some very good videos showing not only how to put on and take off the bleep produc...

Re: Serious issues after 25 years of CPAP
I do better sleeping on side and use a lot of pillows to keep me on side. I have some issues with numb arm or shoulder pain on side. Some nights I end up on back and wake up with my tongue stuck to roof of mouth, drier than the Sahara. My humidifier runs dry in 4 hours on Auto setting. I cannot hel...

Re: My First Sleep with Bleep Eclipse Halos.
I suggest just putting them away for a bit. Changing a mask is a big deal and it could just be you need to have the right opportunity to try them again. if at a later time you try them again and find they just don’t work, then you gave it the old college try. If you sell them off now and want to try...

Happy Christmas!
A quick thank you to everyone on the forum for your continued support of us newbies, oldbies, middlebies, and everyone in-between. I hope that Santa/Hanukkah Claus leaves you a brand spanking new Bleep Eclipse or other mask of choice in your stockings this year. You make using a CPAP bearable and yo...

Mine is only used a few times a week or so, but it is over two years old. Still works fine.

Re: WatchPat sleep study Question
Perhaps a better way to express my question: Is "pAHI" and "AHI" clinically the same thing? Put another way, could everywhere AASM mentions "AHI" be replaced with "pAHI"? The crux is: Apneas and Hyponeas are measured events, the criteria for those events are delineated by AASM. Are there similar cr...

Re: Airsense 11 Water Tank - Not "clicking" in correctly?
There is a design flaw in the AirSense 11. I was having trouble with my new AirSense 11 tank articulating with the machine and noticed the following. The silicone connector ON THE TANK is round. The silicone connector ON THE MACHINE (you can see when you look inside the tank space) is actually slig...

Re: TMJ comorbidity
I do not have TMJ but wear earplugs almost nightly due to a similar situation with a spouse snoring like a drunken sailor. I have not seen any change in AHI with or without ear plugs. I can imagine the change in ear pressure may affect some folks, but we’ll need experts to weigh in. I use these earp...

Re: New to CPAP - Help with pressure settings (ResMed AirSense 10)
Now, THOSE settings are crazy. Why is that? Because a setting of 4 is correct for very very *very* few people. many people have trouble even breathing at a pressure of 4. Reducing the max pressure is also foolish except in a few cases. Based on the screenshots you provided, your pressure should pro...
