This is my third machine over the past 10 years. I have not had any luck with the previous models.
Does anyone have the above mentioned machine?
Does anyone have Complex Sleep Apnea?
Thanks for your responses.

Hi,

I have the older model, the M-Series BiPAP Auto. It is a very good machine. I didn't get along with one of its features, and I find that the ResMed VPAP is a lot smoother. But I still use my M-Series as my travel machine.

I don't have centrals, but I have both OSA and positional sleep apnea.

How do you mean that you have hand no luck with the other machines? Did they break sooner than you thought? Since the PR One that is in your profile is a relatively new machines, your other 2 machines must have lasted at least 4 years each. 4 years times 365 days times 7 hours per day is over 10,000 hours on each machine, so I think that is doing pretty good.

I have severe complex sleep apnea! My machine is the Resmed Vpap St and I use oxygen at night (that is when I use my machine which is not to often). I just cannot get used to my machine and the mask and most times I use it I end up taking the mask off in the middle of the night. Sorry I cant help you with your type of machine. I can tell you that my pressures are 17/30, I don't know if that helps you any. Good luck! Terri
