Hi Jennybunny , BTW, I notice that you mention taking regular morphine. Does the doctor who writes the prescriptions for that know that you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea? And does the sleep-medicine department know you are on morphine? Each person or department should be told what the other ...

You have to squeeze the tank with your right hand-- thumb on top and fingers on the bottom. Squeeze FIRMLY--I'm not kidding--FIRMLY; then wiggle it while securing the machine with your left hand. The tank contains a flexible gasket--make it FLEX. If it still will not separate, there may be a defect...

I am unable to remove the resevoir from the side

Nope... It won't budge.

Do you have a green light on your power pack when it is connected to a working wall plug? This is the most common cause of machine not powering on. if so, You can purchase a knockoff replacement power pack from a local retailer until you sort out your warranty claim. There's nothing else that would...

The forum sponsors, cpap.com, sell cpap related products--at decent prices. (Hint) That's good, because I am thinking about getting a 'spare' CPAP. I'll have a look. Also, I am unable to remove the resevoir from the side as I don't know how to as I was not shown how to when the ward I was on decide...

Two things - put UK in the title of this note so e.g. Rick Blaine (UK forum expert) will see it and hopefully advise, and second is that if you have a recliner, use it to sleep as it helps support breathing better than supine or prone if you have no machine. And 1-2 nights 'off' happens to all of u...

Yep, at 7:50 this morning my machine stopped working. I had my husband change the fuse in the plug, but it still does not power up. The Hospital Clinical Measurements Department who supplied me wiht the CPAP machine are closed from Friday when they finish, until Monday morning and there's no number ...

Before my daughter applied to medical schools we toured a school with a special ventilation system in the anatomy lab. Formaldehyde (or whatever they use these days) is heavier than room air, and there WERE vents near to floor to pull it out of the room. As a result, the anatomy lab didn't smell to...

Hi Jennybunny , These rules on non-Covid treating wards are there for the safety and protection of the doctors, nurses, and nurses' aides – and thru them, other patients. The hour between (a) you waking up and turning off the machine and (b) the nurses' aide bringing the cup of tea which is the sta...

I agree the hours allowed to use the machine are short, but likely enough to be sure you won't die the next day from OSA - we all have to adjust a bit now all things considered and I'm sure you'll be fine. After all, until you were diagnosed, you managed to survive without Cpap. I would not fuss ab...

I have been in Hospital quite a lot this year due to health problems (unrelated to CPAP) and the hospital (NHS) have this mandate where I have to stop using my CPAP an hour before anyone can enter my room in the morining. I have been told that it's due to CoVid and that there are vents near the floo...
