Re: Continued use of recalled Philips Dreamstation machine

I will admit I didn't read everything but wanted to say... I don't know where you are located or what kind of hospital she was at but any Dr. can write her a script. How about the doc who said this is the worse he's ever seen? Whatever you get make sure it is an Auto-BiPap. IF money is avail you sho...

Re: using a borrowed machine

My neighbor has sleep apnea but he does not have insurance therefore can not afford a sleep study. My CPAP machine is set at 11 pressure. Could it hurt my neighbor to use my machine at 11? My thought was, better to have something than nothing. What do you think? While it may not hurt - the neighbor...

Re: Do I need a new sleep study?

My last one was about five years ago, and things haven't really changed. My CPAP died, but we've moved halfway across the country. This is exactly why anyone using a cpap should have a spare. And a spare of everything needed to make it work. Is there any issue with getting my old prescription from ...

Re: Downloaded Oscar - Data not appearing - Help!

My old profile name from SleepyHead shows up. Does SH have the data you need? Anything you can use? I'm thinking there is nothing on your SD card for some reason. Is it unlocked? IF worse comes to worse maybe you can bring your cpap in for your Dr visit? Call and ask them? That is how it used to be...

Re: Downloaded Oscar - Data not appearing - Help!

Let's start here... With your profile open - top left of the Oscar window is "File" below that is "Profile" now look to the right of that row for "Statistics" - click on the "Statistics" tab. Anything there? IF so you are in luck - print that. That is what your doc wants. How long have you used it e...

Re: Airsense 10 - noise from air intake

My plan is to replace with the airsense 10 given the reviews I’ve read comparing the 10 and 11. Good Plan. Hopefully the doc wrote the make & model of the cpap you want on this script. But even if s/he did, the DME often will want to push on you something else. Just be up front and clear about what...

Re: Airsense 10 - noise from air intake

I cleaned it out a little bit, and washed the grey foam piece. All of the silicon connectors appeared to be in good shape, but I gave them a wash for good measure. If I had to guess, somehow there's a connection somewhere that is not sealing properly - but I can't identify the issue. My sleep is me...

Every night I end up leaving bed to sleep in a recliner due to pain &/or husband's snoring. I'm looking for ideas for how I can easily moved my c-pap with me.
Having two is the easy (best) way out. But you really should have a spare.

Re: Philips CPAP accessories discontinued?

I use the Dreamwear mask which I like very much, I’m not sure if I should stock up on them if they will soon be no longer available. I have seen it happen many times even when the situ wasn't near this bad and (for reasons unknown) they have stopped making someones favorite mask. IIWM I would stock...

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.

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...
