Re: Success with ResMed AirSense10 Auto

Thank you. I am pleased with the machine. I had the PR set at a humidity level of 3, with is the middle of it's range of 0-5. If I am reading the manual correctly, the Auto setting on the ResMed model corresponds to 4, the middle of it's range of 0-8. As you say, those ranges may be very different.

Success with ResMed AirSense10 Auto

I have recently switched to a ResMed AirSense10 Auto from a PR System One 60 auto. The PR was over 6 years old and starting to drop data and make some odd noises, so I figured it was time. (My very first cpap was a ResMed S8 auto, followed by two PR System Ones... a series 50 and a series 60). With ...

Re: 2 nights without electricity (so far)

200w unit with a humidifier.... less than one night. I have a 500w unit and get about 13 hours with humidifier and heated hose. Without those, I think I would get at least two nights, possibly a bit more. Another variable to consider is what pressure. Higher pressures use more power. It won't be a d...

I usually smell something "off" slightly before the tank goes dry.
It tends to wake me up--most unpleasantly.
I hate the smell of burning metal in the morning......

Re: Has anybody ever used the AC power on a aircraft to run a CPAP?

I personally have not used my apap on a plane, but I have a very good friend who flies monthly for business (domestic and overseas). The overseas flights are all over-nighters, and he has used his ResMed AirSense 10 Auto successfully on these flights. I believe he turns off the heated hose and humid...

Re: 2 nights without electricity (so far)

PG&E has had Californians by the short hairs for way too long --thanks to their long-standing MONOPOLY. There are laws . . . PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E have all cut back on maintenance of their equipment and infrastructure over the past 10-15 years, in large part to maximize profit for their investors (a...

Re: Hose cover with heated hose

Thanks, both! (And I am glad I'm not blind yet!) It's the ClimateLine ResMed hose, not a stand-alone, so it look like it's OK to use the cover..

Cheers!

Hose cover with heated hose

So the question is..... I have a new apap with heated hose. In the past, I have only had regular hoses and have always used a fleece fabric hose cover to help prevent rainout. Does a hose cover affect a heated hose in any way? Use or not use? :?: BTW, am I blind or is there not an equipment listing ...

Re: OSCAR Suggestions & Bug reporting

Hi, guys!
Is there any progress on the ability to set a date range on the Statistics report in OSCAR? Is there a date for release of the next version (not beta)?

Thanks!
