Re: Determining the Minimum APAP Pressure

Instead of asking how to interpret the OSCAR data and then make adjustments. Post the OSCAR data and ask for suggested changes from experienced members. This way you'll get reliable advice and can learn the rational of any suggested changes. If you don't know how to read a chart to make adjustments,...

Re: Question about possible mold / bacterial contamination

Maybe this should be added to the Distilled Water "sticky".
The "Minerals Added" language was pretty prominent on the label.

Because people who don't read labels are likely to read "stickies". :)

Re: Leaks and machine capability/reliability

Meeting soon with my "new" sleep doc (prior retired) Should I suggest to him that the events observed during the >35 leak episode just be ignored? It would substantially change my AHI values as in general the majority of my events are detected during these leak periods. I wonder how successful I'll...

Look for: How long they've been forum members How reasonable they are Have they been helping others Do they get along with others Do they handle conflict well The OP had be...

Excuse me, you didn't say read reviews and see if the product works for you?

Read reviews and see if the product works for you? Are you serious? I didn't say "Read reviews and see if the product works for you". Reputable have an obligation to return defective products. They don't have an obligation to return products that simply don't work for you. You should also read Amaz...

You read the reviews, and then based on experiences and ratings of others, you decide if you want to take a risk to see if the product works for you. Considering the the cost of shipping would be well over the $3.00 restocking fee (if unopened), and a huge loss (cost of product and shipping) if it d...

Re: Oscar login

I moved away from my Mac about a year ago. But, OSCAR doesn't need to be continously reinstalled. It sounds like he, copied the OSCAR Installer into the Applications folder, and not OSCAR. Here's a good link to properly install on a Mac: https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/OSCAR_Installation:_...

Re: How to disable cellular signal on Resmed Airsense 11

As much as I think disabling the the Modem is silly and unnecessary, it should be pointed out: This is a fairly simple method of disabling the modem It's not permanent and could be reversed with a dab of solder or electronic paint There is (an occasional) demand for disabling the modem on an Air11, ...

Re: Husband says CPAP is scary and unattractive...

Despite what this post will sound like, I do have a wonderful, kind husband. No, you don't, He's an absolute selfish ass. You're approaching 30 years of marriage. This also means, in the next 10 to 20 years you're approaching life stages that might require more health care needs. Believe me, there'...

Thank you

It's what virtually all engaged members here use.

Re: Airsense11 bluetooth?

Your phone *may* be able to connect to your Air11 via Bluetooth, but there really is no point. If you're Android version is too old to run the App, then there is nothing functional you can do. It is the App that facilitates what can be done between the App and the Air 11. You still can access the My...

Re: "AUTO OFF" Dreamstation and Dreamstation 2

Auto off *used* to be accessible via the clinical menu. Now, it's not. It can only be accessed through Philips Care Orchestrator software, which only medical practitioners have access to. So basically you need to pay someone to turn it off or on. Why people keep buying Phillips is beyond me. For yea...

Re: Airsense 10 is 8 years old, keep using it?

The Airsense 10 was recently on sale for $399 at cpap.com ... I was debating buying one just to have as a backup. I didn't, as I think my 8+ year old machine is still working fine. Wonder if I should have. I'm cheap, as my high deductible insurance is crap! Your 8 year old machine is not going to l...
