Re: Cleaning climate line tubing

If you want your hose to last, clean it every day with baby shampoo for 10 minute or more. rinse out with warm water. let it hang for I hour. put in a hurricane dryer for 15 minutes. if you are on medicare. your insurance will pay for a new one, I think every 3 months. if your insurance don't cover ...

Re: Cpap for extended wilderness camping?

I called resmed 3 months ago about the air sense 11 adapter. they said it should be available by the end of 2022. I agree its the best way to go to power the air sense 11 with dc power. for 3 months now I have been using the portable outlet battery. I use this battery just for camping with the air s...

Re: UPS question: does the Airsense 10 require true sine wave power?

if you think my post was spam. I want you to study how electrical equipment works. all circuit boards in medical equipment run better and cooler with pure sine wave. all motors with oxygen, and c-pap need pure sine to run. if you try to run them on modified, your equipment won't last. they burn out ...

Re: Quick Question - Bix CP190 CPAP battery not charging?

Jackery 240 comes with a lithium battery. if you use this battery wisely. it will last many years. this battery stores 240 watts. I don't know what c-pap you have. you should be able to get 2 nights with 240 watts if you use air only. if you need heated air and humidity. it will only last for one ni...

Re: Quick Question - Bix CP190 CPAP battery not charging?

No battery will last if it sits for a long period of time. you must keep the state of charge close to 100 percent. do you have a dc converter with your cpap. if you do, just plug in to a deep cycle battery or get one of those cheap battery solar battery boxes.

Re: High MyAir Score but O2 Desats Continue

Does your doctor check your hemoglobin and hematocrit levels with a blood test. most of us that have sleep apnea have low oxygen levels while we sleep. my oxygen levels average around 93 most of the night. I had frequent level drops were my o2 dropped to the low 80s. when I got my blood test is show...
