I used the Intellipap for a couple of weeks and I really liked the machine. Unfortunately, I had to give it back. The Intellipap is really quiet at 26dB and has a well thought out humidifier that pulls out like a drawer. You can't overfill the chamber. The entire machine is impressive. It doesn't ha...

AYR Nasal Saline Gel will help your nose recover quickly. You can buy it at most pharmacies in a 3 or 4oz tube.

Use a QTip to apply the gel. It will sooth your sore nose. I use it from time to time and it works great.

I am the goofball who made the video with the white filter facing the wrong direction. I have since changed it with the mesh side facing inward and the smooth side facing out the back of the machine. Thanks for pointing out that it was still up on the site. I took it down. It will be replaced with a...

Here is an article that details sleep architecture of infant to the elderly.

Medication will hinder slow wave sleep. It also drops off due to body producing less of a substance. I will have to look that one up to tell you exactly what slows down. But I do know that anti depressants hinder both SWS and REM. In REM sleep your metabolism speeds up. If you don't have much REM, t...

There is downloadable PDF files on the Resmed AU website. It distinctly states that EPR is only available in CPAP Mode.

The machine looks very interesting as far as the noise level and the new blower system. I am curious.

I was banned from talkboutsleep message board because I was supposedly giving too much information or information that they deemed inappropriate. In other words, they though I was giving bad information. Soon after, I started working for cpap.com with our intention of starting this message board. Wi...

Other than form factor, the biggest difference is the M Series can display AHI information on its LCD display. The Pro 2 records this information but requires Encore software and a card reader to access the data.

The solution I found that will allow you to save your data to a .pdf file is a free application called PrimoPDF. You download the application and it installs a PDF printer as a printer choice. When you are viewing the Viewer report, select print and it brings up a box that allows you to choose which...

The easiest way to remove smoke odors from a cpap is to place it outside and run it for a few hours or more. Ozone is what will clean out your machine and placing your machine just outside your door will suck in the needed ozone to clean your machine. You can also use an ozone machine, like an air p...
