Help me to design a new machinery for u!

[elena88]

I came on here to try to help people who were having issues with cpap. I posted in a post about how to design a new machine. I posted FACTS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE YOUR DOWNLOAD. Fact. The number one way to show if cpap is working for you is HOW YOU FEEL.

I got countered by an intellegent, thought out response. I debated the point, and conceded some. I tried to answer questions, with a bit of humor. I tried to have fun. I tried to help.

Sorry. Will not happen again.

The single most important thing for me is that it is quiet and monotonal. Right now I have a goodknight 418 that is fairly quiet. But it maintains the same sound level all the time. Kind of like a white noise generator. When I needed to buy a new machine I tried a bunch of them and they all sounded like a British Ambulance as they changed tone between inhale and exhale. This neither the wife or I could tolerate. I found an old used Goodknight 418 again and can sleep.

All the other stuff is nice but if its not a queit STEADY sound I cant use it.

All the other whistles and bells mean nothing if its not quiet and monotone in sound.

Size-adjustable nasal pillows so they can be completely individualized and will NOT KEEP COMING OUT! Also, a built-in eye mask with the option to keep eyes moist while the machine is in use.

I second that, and they would individually twist to different angles and it would have headgaer secure enough for it to stay in place

I recently had my Respironics SystemOne Auto BiPap in for repairs and they just sent me a new machine instead.
Looking carefully at the machine, it seemed to me that the parts cost to Philps should have been on the order of $25 US with an assembly cost of perhaps $2 US.

But ... the best price I could find for this machine was about $1,300 US.

So the remaining money must be allocated between the DME, Philips, and regulatory overhead cost.
I'm guessing that the regulatory costs far outweigh all other costs combined.

Philips and ResMed for that matter could easily make a base level design that could be upgraded via firmware to meet any criteria necessary. If they did, then the total market size would collapse since older machines would compete with current ones and drive the price further down - and make the regulatory cost skyrocket in terms of percentage of overall cost.

I thnk that's why Philips is abandoning all prior models and switching everything to the SystemOne platform but they won't be making them firmware upgradable between models.
