New CPAP machine recommendation

Post by kkb » Wed May 10, 2017 12:54 pm

Hi all,
I've been using a CPAP machine since 2011 and absolutely cannot imagine sleeping without it! I use a Resmed S9 Autoset with Heated Humidifier. As a mask, I wear the Swift FX for her with nasal pillows.

I had an appointment with my sleep apnea dr. this morning and we're going to get a new machine since mine is 6+ years old. I know that alot has changed in the apnea world since the Resmed S9. What's a recommendation of a good machine with data capabilities? I see the Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset. Is that the latest and greatest?

Thanks for the help!
Kim

The AirSense 10 AutoSet is the latest and greatest in the ResMed product line.
Respironics makes a similar machine but it does have a different algorithm that it uses. They both do the same job but go about doing the job differently.

I actually suggest that you stick with the ResMed. ResMed's algorithm is a bit different from Respironics and we know that ResMed works well for you and no real urgent need to change.

You can't go wrong with another ResMed.
