Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

I received another email yesterday from the Settlement Administrator. They're still waiting for me to supply them with my CPAP prescription numbers so that they can send me a refurbished machine. :shock: Even though I have already received two replacements, and I have also been paid for two machines...

Re: My son refuses to use his Cpap

There's no way that you're going to get a teen to use a CPAP machine if he doesn't want to use it, no way. Someone is going to have to explain the benefits of using the machine compared to not using it. If that can't get through to him, nothing will. As for you paying $800 for the machine? Did your ...

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

At some point in reading the fine print and disclaimers in the original settlement offer, it was stated that the payments for the Device Replacement Awards wouldn't start going out till all other awards have been paid. I'm not holding my breath for this one as I'm sure that the money will 'run out'...

Re: Recommendations for low-profile earmuffs/noise reduction sleep masks?

Hi all, New to the forum but long-term CPAP user (10+ years). I am also autistic and have been going through autistic burnout for over a year. This has exacerbated my sensory issues significantly and I am now finding that noise (and temperature) are having much more of an impact than they used to i...

Re: F20 elbow mold

Is the foam some sort of gasket or what?

"I followed the manufacturers instructions on cleaning exactly. It says to soak all pieces, including the elbow, and let air-dry."

What did you use to soak your stuff in?

Re: FDA petition to grant OTC status to CPAP machines

I was, And in my time on the two apnea forums. I have seen that a majority have been sent home with 4-20 settings. Of course there are exceptions from exceptional Dr's.

Re: changing pressure settings on a dreamstation gen 1 bipap st

Google is your friend.

Why are you still using a recalled CPAP machine? Are you not worried about your health?

Re: FDA petition to grant OTC status to CPAP machines

Well, The vast majority of routine uncomplicated apneas found in a patient in an in lab study. (Like me) Were sent home with a pap machine that was set at the factory 4cm-20cm setting. And just let the machine adjust on it's own. That is a rubbish way to treat a patient. So, what's the difference o...

Re: FDA petition to grant OTC status to CPAP machines

I think Nocibur gets it. As other posters have pointed out, insurance still covers prescriptionless items that have deemed a medical necessity. No medication or durable medical product has ever become worse or less affordable by having its prescription status removed, including hearing aids. Removi...

Re: I think I broke my Airsense 11

Somehow pulled too hard on the hose and the machine and it fell off a footstand I had it sitting on. Now when I plug it in I get a green light but my screen is dark and the machine won’t do anything. Does it sound like I did it in, or is there some magical reset I don’t know about? Thx! Not soundin...

Re: FDA petition to grant OTC status to CPAP machines

How will these people get their OTC machines set to what the RX should be?

Will they be expected to do the set up themselves? :lol:
