Just found out today I was approved for a new device, I recently had a sleep study on May 22, and my pressure went from 11 to 13, but my doctor offices call last week and said they finally got my study back. The nurse stated that I will be switching to and auto pap. I learning more about sleep apnea, but I don't know the difference in devices, auto, cpap can someone be kind and help me understand the difference. Also what the top pap machine on the market. The device I've reviewed was the resmed9 like their climate control they offer. I currently have and old remstar m series device.

Thanks Bighunt

There is a difference between models;
the S9 Autoset will supply valuable data necessary for optimum treatment--
the Escape Auto--not even close!
The name is on the top left, next to the power button.

A while back I wrote a detailed review of both the S9 AutoSet and the PR System One Series 60 Auto CPAP. You can find it at:
