I may have to use this machine. Would like to get some info about this machine from people who are actually using this machine now, or have used this in the past. You can post here or PM me. Thank you very much!

For it is without doubt the best XPAP therapy machine I have come across.

I can't think of any other features or improvements I would want to make to it
other than to make it cheaper smaller & continue to work the way it does.

The thread on this machine was added to fairly recently so should show withing the last three screens of threads.

Cheers

A member of this message board nicknamed "dllfo" uses one.

dsm uses one.

Another fellow who reads the message board, but I don't think ever posts, uses one. I've seen his data.

Perhaps some others will raise their hands.

Thank you for the responses. As -SWS said, I had already entered that thread. I am looking for actual users who have controlled the settings and is knowledgeable about the machine, in preparation for me for a possible one night trial of that machine. The machine is so expensive ($6k+) that I would like to get the best trial on that night, so that if the results are not significant improvements for me I wont buy it.

I also use the machine. It is great. I am improving after doing some tweaking to my treatment.
