You may be confusing myAir with AirView.
I never mentioned Airview.

What are the significant differences between the two applications - OSCAR and the ResMed myAir?
Like many others here - of the two I prefer OSCAR.

Re: Moved to new orleans - DME recs?

I moved from Albuquerque to New Orleans. My dme in NM does not ship to Louisiana. I have United healthcare. Anyone have recommendations for what supply company I should use here? Will I be required to go see a local doctor before having my supplies replenished? Lastly, I use the air touch f20. Migh...

Re: Battery Backup solution for Resmed S9 with H5i

I'm choosing to live by a "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" mentality with my CPAP machine, which leads me to ask. IMO anyone who uses cpap should have the DC cord that fits their cpap and a battery setup to plug in to. If you are handy you can build something. IF ...

Re: Airsense 11 upgrade - Disappointed

Long-term CPAP user (over 20 years). My provider replaced my 5+ yo Airsense 10 with an Airsense 11, and I am finding it rather disappointing. Exactly why I never jump on the latest and greatest anything esp. cell phones, cars, etc. Always give them time to work out the bugs. Any chance your DME wil...

Like I mentioned, I've never used either app.

:!: I know that Apria Healthcare, as well as my doctor, are receiving reports on a regular basis, as I have checked. What are the significant differences between the two applications - OSCAR and the ResMed myAir? IMO what your doc cares about is that your AHI is <5. What DME's care about is that yo...

Re: Kaiser changes machine settings

Remember we can't see each other's facial expressions or get instant feedback on what we put online.
Which is exactly why I rely only on the words in the post.
AND the OP never mentioned a CDL or any need for driving.

Re: Failed sleep study after 14 years on the hose

Wow. Thanks folks... I did in fact talk to an insurance chatperson today... there is no requirement for a periodic split-night sleep study. I also found that my doctor apparently owns the lab, or at least has his other office in the same building... a budding conflict of interest IMO. Likely a bill...

Re: My Resmed Airsense 10 Did Not Come With An SD Card, What Should I Buy?

wanted to know what kind/recommendations to get. As mentioned any capacity will do. You may have a used one laying around, just backup and remove any data on it. I found this in a quick search on Amazon for an example. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDXVT-032G-GNCIN/dp/B09ZS1...

Re: ResMed AirSense10 and generator

I'm wanting to buy a generator because I live in a high fire risk area and an earthquake risk area. I want to make sure that the generator can run my CPAP. From the manual, I see that the peak power is 100W. Is that with the humidifier on? Take a look at the specs on your cpap power adapter for spe...
