new machine for my wife

Post by Sloopjohnb » Mon Feb 04, 2013 4:42 pm

My wife was recently diagnosed with OSA and the DME people came out today with her machine.
It is a ResMed S9 Elite.

Just wondering if this is highly rated? Haven't been here for awhile and I know there is tons of posts on machines, and when I get some more time, I will research back -- but I wanted a quick answer, because I know there are cautions against certain ResMeds.

Quick answer -- yes the ResMed S9 Elite is a good machine. The ones you don't want are the ones that do not record and provide treatment efficacy information. The Elite does.

The general consensus seems to be that it is a good, straight cpap machine with efficacy data. I have a s9 Elite and am happy with it. Most of the more experiences people seem to prefer the S9 Autoset because it can be used as a cpap or apap.

Thanks -- I couldn't remember the differences, but I am relieved now. I don't have to call the DME back!

You didn't get a S9 escape, you got the Elite which I believe will serve her needs just fine. If that machine turns out not to work for her the doc can always write for a bilevel or auto.
Good luck,
Mary
