Re: They laughed at my machine

No, it's not one of the serial numbers that was recalled. Are you absolutely certain it wasn't on the recall list? My understanding it was all machines after the M series and your 450 is definitely after the M series models. Both the 50 series and 60 series were included in the recall ....all model...

Re: Awesome first night with AirFit N30i

In my own opinion the N30i noise problem is from 2 things. The air movement in the frame can create a darth vader conductive noise sound effect (this bugged the hell out of me) and the venting system in the N30i isn't the same as the venting system on the N30. You did better your first night with t...

Re: Water Resevoir Question

I've kept mine filled with distilled till it empties itself, then I just add more. Never an issue that I know of, in over 10 years of doing that. Also, when traveling, I use tap water, no issue with that either. I'm unclear whether distilled is meant to protect the machine, or us. How does your res...

Re: They laughed at my machine

So today I went to a sleep doc for the first time in maybe 8 years, having moved to a new state. When opened my case to display the Respironics "brick," she laughed out loud! Later her assistant came in the examining room to say she couldn't read my SD card (SleepyHead reads it fine), and she also ...

Re: Question for TapPap users

It turned out my settings weren't correct. I had checked off Notifications, but it had to be selected in a couple different places in my profile, and I guess I had never done it right in ten years, haha. Now I have it right, which is why I knew you had replied. Thanks. in THAT case- test test test ...

Awesome first night with AirFit N30i

I'm not sure what the i stands for in N30i, nor whether this mask is actually compatible with my ancient PR System One. But my first night trying this mask was kind of amazing! I do have questions. - First time using a soft "cushion" and it solves most of the problems of nasal irritation. This morni...

Re: Is the N30 nasal cradle different from P10 pillows?

Now I still have to go find the AWOL N30 I seem to have put in a safe place....too safe...can't find it. :lol: :lol: Story of my life....put stuff in a "safe place" for later and forget where I put it. Didn't have time today to do much looking. Had other stuff I had to do. https://i.imgur.com/luLXa...

Re: Long time user.

I went without any sleep doctor or monitoring for the last 8+ years. I read my SD card on Sleepyhead myself (software downloaded from this forum), and everything was fine all that time, "pounds" set for 6, no ramp setting, no change in events all that time. So, you should be able to do the same. But...

Re: Is the N30 nasal cradle different from P10 pillows?

Thanks folks for the cradle info. Since I posted, I am now the proud owner of a new N30 cradle!! Went to a sleep doc appt today and they had a free sample, so I'll try it tonight. Thrilled with how soft the cradle feels, hope it works out.

Is the N30 nasal cradle different from P10 pillows?

I searched on this topic and looked at pictures on cpap.com, but can't see how the cradle works. It still has nasal pillows that go in your nostrils, right? I have P10 and the pillows move around too much and stimulate sniffles the next day, so if the cradle is less shifty, I would try that. Thanks ...
