Resumed ASV versus Phillips ASV

[BRB2]

Hello all. First time poster here, but long time reader and fan.

I have a Resmed Aircurve 10 for Her and a Resmed Vauto bipap. Neither worked for me. After 2 more successive sleep studies I have been prescribed an ASV. I have used a Resmed ASV before, liked it and had success. So I’m familiar with Resmed.

I’ve searched here but couldn’t find clear answers.

My question is: Which machine is better? Resmed or Phillips?

I realize a lot of this is personal preference and I am not technical enough to understand differences is algorithms. So plain English answers are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Many find the Resmed algorithm more sophisticated.
I expect to stick with Resmed unless it becomes too costly.
This is that rare situation where you actually get what you pay for.

I have the Phillips (60 series auto SV advanced) and I don't like it. I feel like I have to adapt to it instead of it adapting to me. I don't sleep well using it and my AHI is terrible with tons of hypopneas. It just doesn't seem to react quick enough for me. I have just purchased the ResMed AirCurve 10. I can't wait to use it. Should be here tomorrow.

Thanks all. Others say the same. I’m going with Resmed.

They used phillips machines in my titration years ago. Even their asv was not so hot for me. The resmed asv did the trick.
