Replaced my 4yr 10 months old Curve Auto with another

Post by deerhound » Thu Sep 26, 2024 1:00 pm

In August my Trusty VCurve 10 Auto started going haywire. For no reason pressures would climb to max and I had tremendous mouth leakage. Swapped over to my Backup V10

Sounds like you could use a new machine so your back-up can keep being a back-up.

I didn't think this posted. it was an unfinished post I decided to not post. The rest of the story is, I contacted my sleep doctor's office and told them what happened. My machine was a couple of months shy of 5 years old and we weren't sure if medicare woul let me get a new on until January. She wrote the order and Rotech sent me an AirCurve 10 VAuto. The only thing I was disappointed in was that the new machine had 280 hrs on it. Normally I would have instead on a brand new one, but I didn't want an 11 series machine since Resmed doesn't have a ClimatelineAir Oxy hose available. I also use my machine connected to a 12 volt battery and by getting a 10, I didn't have to buy a new DC converter for 95 bucks. Medicare and my supplement pay 100% of the 13 month rent to own.
I was sure glad to have my backup machine from lsat.
