The RemStar Auto when on 12vdc power has a max current draw of 3 amps. It is only 1 amp on 120vac. Based on that a 22 amp hr battery will give you at best 7 hours at full current. Your time would increase depending on the pressure level it runs at. The lower the pressure the longer run time you coul...

I got my sleep study done by the VA. Took 3 months after my GP agreed that I needed a study until I was able to see the "sleep specialist", and after he agreed that I needed the study, took another 3 months to get in for the study.

Sorry Babette, but I think the only way that modern science has found to remove the female sex drive is for her to get married .

Actually anyone that has an account with respironics as a provider can have access to the software and cabling necessary to adjust the real time clock in the unit. Because we use these units where I work, I have the software and cabling for it. When you do the RTC calibration to the unit it adjusts ...

With the new chemicals that they use for treated lumber you no longer want to use the cement coated nails. They will still rust, unless you are using untreated wood. With the older treated lumber they recommended cement coated so that they would not be destroyed by the chemicals that were used to tr...

E 77 indicates the pressure sensor is not putting out a signal, either because the sensor is not getting pressure applied to it or the sensor is bad. You would have to open the unit and look to ensure the tube is still connected and not blocked. If it all looks alright, it is a matter of replacing t...

Thats the unit I use. Works great for me. Has full data capability. If you are happy using a CPAP vs an APAP, it is a very good machine.
