Help me find some info

Post by flatag » Thu Sep 27, 2012 5:12 am

I had a link to someone who did a review on cpap machines. It listed the machines by prefered, good or machines to avoid.

I found out this morning that I have a coworker who was diagnosed with SA and the DME is coming over to set him up this afternoon.

Already the DME is telling lies. (Suprise suprise) I would like to give him the list of perfered machines so he won't get a brick but I can't seem find it.

Help.

Is this the link you were thinking about?
http://maskarrayed.wordpress.com/

Personally I would zero in on the Respironics System One models and ResMed S9 models. Both have easy to use and obtain comprehensive software.
With ResMed...avoid anything with the word "Escape" in the model name.
With Respironics...avoid any model number lower than 450. Model numbers are plainly shown on the bottom of the machine.
The link above provides model names.
