Question

Post by LarryJ » Thu Feb 03, 2005 8:22 pm

Does anyone here know anything about the Invacare Polaris cpap machine? It is the machine that I use and was wondering if it's any good or am I missing out on something better?

Thank You,
Larry

Looks like a nice unit. Look out C-flex you've got competition. The price is a bit gagging tho.
At least it has a list price for all to see

It must be a good unit. Arnold Palmer is their talking head. He is a man ahead of his time.

To paraphrase their site:
It's simple contour design and silver color provides me an appealing contemporary style to fit nicely in my home.

This is my number one concern when shoping for a cpap.

Wow, I didnt realize the machine cost so much (insurance pays the rental fee) but here is the one I have. Does it compare well with others?

You can even get the clinicians manual online. Thats got to be worth something in itself. Might be worth a try if its made in USA. (like respironics)

Cheers,

Chris
