It is a ResMed Aircurve 10. And right below that brand name is a box with the letters VAUTO in it.
Good news. That's the best machine money can buy for regular, garden-variety sleep apnea. Unless you have other issues, that's a fantastic start.

Re: Buying In-Person or Online Auto CPAP Machine

Changing your settings is easier than TikTok. The very helpful folks on this forum can help you dial in your settings so your therapy is optimized.

Re: Private Messages (or PM)

Hey, pagers were great, and they'd keep beeping until I woke up and took care of whatever when I was on call... unlike, well, you know, pocket computers that don't have the 'reminder beep' feature, at least none of mine have, like my old flip phone, and pager. Hmph. That's a design issue. Our custo...

I'm hoping he'll have to tell me in a thread how and when to check my PMs and then I can play dense.
You could set a daily reminder on your phone to check your email for notifications about PM's from cpaptalk.com. Or maybe a fax.

Re: Private Messages (or PM)

I understand what you're saying and generally agree with your position. However, I often have to remind myself that the average age of posters on this forum is higher than, say, the motorcycle or aerobatics or scuba diving forums where I participate. It makes a difference. When I send my dad an emai...

The trail run I offered my relative with my extra Dreamstation2 was incredibly successful! He slept better with APAP than he has in a long time.
That will be a huge contrast to the mouthpiece. I tried that route. They are extremely uncomfortable and make you drool like crazy.

Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

I guess they have to ration them. It's not a huge deal either way, but I wanted to make sure I was talking to the right person. There's nothing they can do about a supply chain issue.

Re: Swallowing Saliva with CPAP Plugs My Ears

Two things: First, the pressure will reduce in a few minutes on its own. Second, you can disconnect the hose momentarily, perform the Valsalva maneuver, and reconnect to the hose to make it go away immediately. Close your mouth, pinch your nose, and gently exhale against the pressure. You'll feel yo...

I got an order the end of December and one mid-March. I've been waiting for another shipment since mid-May. I need to follow-up, they said it to expect it the beginning of June.
From Aeroflow? The new Bleeps with the magnets?

Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

Is anyone getting the Eclipse halos from Aeroflow? I've been ordering from them for 9 months now, and they keep telling me they don't have the Eclipse, only the Dreamports. If no one has them available I understand, but I don't want to just be getting whatever they have in the warehouse.

There are many, many battery configurations and many threads herein about them. You need to define your requirements. How many nights do you need a battery to last? Will you have daily charging available? Do you need solar? What's your weight limit? Will you have a support team that can bring you ba...

Sleep studies are torture because you have to sleep without your CPAP for several hours.

Re: Is it just me but are CPAP masks getting smaller and LOUDER?

Unless its leaking, my current mask is silent. My wife can't hear the mask or the machine at all.
