Re: Air 11s actually do OTA updates

I'm not great with reddit so I couldn't find the picture. I don't see a date on the reddit posts, just 1 day ago... I just got my machine so I guess it's already got the latest software.

Re: Air 11s actually do OTA updates

Page 2 of the AirSense 11 manual states it will automatically and periodically download updates and upgrades to the the software by means of Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or cellular networks. On the Home screen go to +More then to "About" on your touch screen. Mine shows SW 04600.05.5.0.1. When you check le...

Re: Excess Carbon dioxide in the mask?

The one thing I find different between the Phillips Amara View and the ResMed F30 mask is that I can't feel any air exiting the mask with the F30. I know the exhaled air is exiting though since I don't feel like I'm rebreathing it. My little dog appreciates not being blown across the bed anymore. Ye...

Re: Resmed F30 mask causing AHI to dramatically increase

The ResMed F30 is not made to attach the tubing to the headgear. Check out the F30i - the mask fits under the nose like the F30 but the tubing attaches at the top of the head.

Re: A brand new Dreamstation 2. What to do with it?

I have a similar experience. I stopped using my Dreamstation 1 when the recall started and waited for a replacement. After 6 months I was at the doctor for shortness of breath and having falling episodes. Luckily my unit was about 6 y/o. After trying to find a DME with a machine in stock I had the d...

Re: Prices on masks

I should have asked for a supervisor. I've been a bit stressed with all my medical issues lately and didn't think about it. I'm in Mississippi so B/C of MS is who I called.

Re: Prices on masks

I was talking to a Blue Cross Rep. I doubt they would have bothered to look up the prices if I had given them the codes. I called 3 separate times trying to get information from them. People don't seem to want to do their jobs anymore.

https://media.resmed.com/sites/3/20210629212432/398230-AIRSENSE11-CG-AMER-ENG.pdf Link for the clinical manual. Should explain how to go into the setup area and turn ramp off or change the starting point of ramp if you wish to use it. Thanks, I watched a short youtube for now but I do need to take ...

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 Received Today!!!

You can raise your ramp minimum, and you can also just turn the ramp off. I’d recommend a ramp minimum of at least 7 so you can get the full benefit of you EPR of 3. (The machine can’t go lower than 4.) I don't know how to change the ramp min yet. I suppose I could let the DME do their job and chan...

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 Received Today!!!

Are these real differences or just the way they are reported by the 2 companies? my thinking was that whether you drive a chevy or a ford, the speedometer should be showing the exact same mph. i mean, if it didn't, cops would have a much tougher job! I'm just trying to understand the report better ...

Re: Prices on masks

I have the bill from my local DME supplier for my new ResMed Airsense 11 and mask. I have Blue Cross Basic (a federal employee/retiree plan) which will pay 70% of the allowable charge as long as I use a preferred provider. I have to use a preferred provider or insurance will pay $0. The preferred pr...

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 Received Today!!!

I'm comparing the settings and results with the ResMed to the Phillips and notice some differences in average pressure and some other pressure stats. The mode is APAP vs AutoCPAP. Are these real differences or just the way they are reported by the 2 companies? I had the provider set my new machine w...

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 Received Today!!!

Yes, I think that was the message. I'm running OSCAR 1.3.1 which is the latest available version. I'll watch for an update. Thanks

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 Received Today!!!

So my AHI was .11 last night, the lowest its ever been. When I uploaded my data to OSCAR there was a message that OSCAR doesn't have enough data about the 11 yet but it should work. I can't remember exactly what it said but I think that was the gist of it.
