Re: Bad news from Philips

Please see my post above. The degradation can come from anything, not just ozone cleaning devices. There are millions of machines being recalled immediately. Follow my link above to the Philips recall.

Re: New User Confusion

Pugsy - great that you do rescues! Such a wonderful thing to do. Pugs are amazing, and we were devastated when we lost ours after
13 years. Thanks for the further info on the ResMed equipment.

Re: New User Confusion

Thanks so much Pugsy. Will be looking further into all of your comments. BTW, we had an amazing Pug for 13 years. We are a pug family all the way around.

Re: New User Confusion

Unfortunately there's really not a lot that we can do for CAs/Centrals with your current machine unless maybe you are using Flex exhale relief and reducing Flex (or turning it off) might (stress the might part) reduce the centrals...and that's only if Flex is causing the centrals but to be honest I...

Decision-making is difficult now because it is unknown whether the CAs are Centrals. If you are awake when these are happening, they are not apneas. The CPAP machine cannot tell whether you are awake or asleep. In a lab sleep study, you will be hooked to EEG leads, and it will be known whether you ...

Re: New User Confusion

Thanks for reply. Sleep test this week was not as hoped for. Confirmed severe apnea (home test was 40 AHI, and this laboratory sleep test resulted in 30 AHI), but they did not do any titration. So, now I must figure things out on my own. I currently have the (Oscar non-compatible) DreamStation 2. Mo...

(I actually used a Somnodent dental device for years, and thought that my Apnea was under control, but it turns out that I was completely wrong, notwith...
