Have machines improved?

Post by bt_rox88 » Mon Mar 29, 2021 8:00 pm

I purchased my dream station dx500t11 about 5 years ago. It still seems to work well. Have there been any changes over the past 5 years that would be worth looking into?

Check out the Airsense 10 Autoset by Resmed on Cpap.com (and the 'For Her' model), way more popular than the DS or others.

If your current therapy is treating your OSA adequately, I would keep using the machine as is.

After five years it's probably time to consider making this one a backup and getting a new one as primary.

Up until now machines have improved.
We can only hope the pattern continues . . .
