Repti 15W Heat Works Great!

Repti 15W Heat Works Great!

No more rain out on setting 2.

My DME did suggest nor tell me about getting a isolative sleeve to avoid Rain Out. I bough the ResMed sleeve and still experienced Rain Out on setting 2 and above. Last night I sewed a isolative cover for the Swift and added the Repti Heated cable to the main tube. No more problems.

Great site, thanks.

FYI: I about ready to give up on my "treatment". Getting less sleep than ever. Before Rain Out AHI 23.6. Last night with tape on my mount 12.2. Still very tired. I've had AHI in the 30s during "treatment". I actually noticeably quit breathing ("predominately centrals") on the Auto 25. Schedule an appointment with another sleep doc/lab to use my equipment in their environment.

15w is about all you need too. The Repti heated cable is an inexpensive fix too. Just be sure to add a timer to make sure it is off every morning. We sleepy heads tend to forget things like this.

Don't go saying 'No I won't forget' cuz YOU will.
