That was an awesomely complete answer - THANKS!

It was suggested to me to use a mask liner to reduce a serious leak problem and it worked wonderfully. My DME specialist gave me samples of SilentNightHealth liners for the F30 with adhesive tabs. BUT when I read their website, they stated their fabric was treated with antimicrobial and antifungal c...

I am sorry that I am very late to this party, but I noticed that you said you have both obstructive and central events. I believe this makes your Daignosis complex sleep apnea. Often Complex SA does not react well to constant CPAP or BiPAP and can make deoxygenations worse. This is the reason I was ...

All helpful answers like I always get here! The Sinus Savers company is apparently still in business as they answered a facebook post, but not an email. I might start looking at the possibility of a hybrid mask such as the resmed airfit f30. Heck I haven't changed masks in 7 years and new stuff is o...

Hmmm, wonder what that would do to my skin every night? Might have to try.

Hi yall. I am a 7 year user of the Oracle mouth mask with the included silicone nostril plugs in size large. I have found especially on the right nostril that the large size is just slightly too small and sometimes slips out or leaks a air. The company does not make a larger size. I asked my Sleep d...

My Phillips System 1 ASV has 18,000+ hours on it it. The knob has broken off long ago and the auto start sensor has gotten very unreliable, but the machine otherwise is working fine as far as I know (Of course it has been recalled and I have been replaced with a new ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV)

Helpful!

Nice point. helpful perspective! :!: Having a great deal of experience in the medical field I have now come to understand there may be no doctor who scrutinizes much of anything anymore and if one wants absolute optimization, one is going to have to do it for themselves. Thank goodness we live in an...

Which then makes one wonder why my sleep specialist doctor prescribed the Phillips ASV way back in 2014 instead of the ResMed. I suppose there might be some synical answers to this question, but since he is highly trained and has apnea himself, he might have known this. He told me back then that he ...

Interesting followup on this subject. I discussed this with my new Medicare DME clinician (who was great by the way) and she told me not to turn it off because especially during the initial "rental" period, they absolutely had to have the data in THEIR system to prove compliance to the insurer. Afte...

Wow, well that is really good news! Hopefully it will continue. So interesting. Thanks again Pugsy; you have been a great help to me now for over 7 years.

Thanks Pugsy! I will take your advice and hold onto them. If they don't eventually fit, I will look to give them away, but from what I am hearing, the system one is ancient history. You are always so helpful. Thanks.

Because of the recall, I have been switched from a Phillips to a ResMed ASV machine. On my old Phillips, my AHIs were getting ever so slightly worse over 7 years, starting at 0-1.0 at the beginning of that time period and gradually increasing to 3-ish recently when I switched. With a week's use of m...

I have some reserve new system one heated tubes for my recalled Phillips system one ASV machine. I expect they will eventually give me a replacement machine which will most likely be in the dream station line. I can't find through various searches whether the old system one heated tube will fit the ...
