Re: ResMed Mirage Activa & Mirage SoftGel to be Discontinued

Thanks for the info. I use the regular Activs and DMEs said they don't carry it any longer.

Now I know why. One said the mask was discontinued and the other said that THEY had discontinued carrying it.

I have to find a new mask after using the Activa for 13 years.

Re: My Airsense 10 Autoset leaked water

I was expecting the worst and held my breath waiting for my tank to leak.

But it's been almost 14 months and not a drop has leaked out.

I hope I don't jinx myself by saying that !

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset turns itself off in use

I know this is a rather old post, but the very same thing has been happening to me with my Airsense 10 Autoset.

My plug is firmly plugged into the socket and not loose at all.

Anyone else ?

DME Problem - Humidifier tank

Here is my latest DME fight. I have an Airsense 10 Autoset and due to my having severe allergies, my Sleep Doc told me he wanted me to use the "Dishwasher Safe" water tank so I can run it thru the Sanitize cycle. Crapria never really gave me any grief about sending me that Dishwasher safe tank rathe...

Re: Anyone want a free Amara View cushion?

Hi Pugsy !

I just wanted to publicly THANK YOU for your generous offer to send these extra cushions. :D

Many CPAP users don't have the insurance coverage to help pay for these.

What you are dong is great, and I am sure very much appreciated by the CPAP users on the forum.

Re: difference between activa mask cushions

I've been using a Mirage Activa mask for 12 years now, and all I've ever used was the size "Standard".

I can't answer your specific question, but it seems like the Standard size would be the same as a medium.

Hopefully someone will haved a definitive answer.

Re: Amara View mask

I used the Amara View during my most recent sleep study and it worked well for me. It was light and un-obstructive. I was pleased enough with it that when I ordered a new mask, I ordered the Amara View. Unfortunately, once I started using it at home, I had a heck of a time getting it adjusted. It wa...

Re: A new mask by Philips Amara View and Dreamwear combo

I was given an Amara View after my last sleep study and did like it. I was extremely light and non-intrusive. But I had to fiddle with it WAY too much to get the leaks stopped. But once I dialed it in, it was great. My sleep Doc keeps suggesting a FFM, and has actually prescribed the Quattro and Qua...

Re: New DME Procedures and policies

I have CIGNA insurance, which contracts with CareCentrix to administer the DME supply stuff for them. Then, CareCentrix has a network of "Authorized" private DME Suppliers who actually supply the equipment to the patients. I have not had any problems getting whatever Mask I need/want so far. I used ...

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset Clinical Manual

I had read that some people DID get an SD card with their machine, and others didn't. No way to know if the DME had removed the SD card prior to delivery or if the machine is now shipped without an SD card. I am more inclined to believe the DME removed the card and will try to sell it to other custo...

Re: Airsense 10 Autoset Clinical Manual

The clinical manuals do not ship with the machines. They are sent separately to the DME when they are contracted to sell/provide them. Even the sleep doc doesn't have one unless they also sell machines although I expect that the manufacturer would send one to a doc who requested it. Just print it o...

Airsense 10 Autoset Clinical Manual

Hi All. I have a pdf copy of the Clinical manual for my Airsense 10 Autoset, but wonder if there are OEM copies available anywhere. I know I can print one from the pdf, but would rather have the nice little booklet. I believe the Clinical manuals used to ship with the machines, but the DMEs remove t...
