Advice on getting new machine

BTW the measurement for pressures used with cpap is centimeters to water....cm to H20 or abbreviated to cm and not mm hg which I have no idea how it correlates to cm to water.
Small annoying thing I have is that I like to use correct terminology for just about everything. I am a bit OCD in that regard.
If you look at all the spec pages for all these machines they talk about cm to water and not mm to anything.

2. I have had the same Airfit P10 nasal pillow for 1.5 years . I would clean it daily with lintless CPAP wipes (https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/90E2 ... 6FD275ED94); and every 2-4 weeks with lukewarm water and dish soap.

two things. if you have a waterpik, this is a wonderful way to clean that exhaust port! (thanks and tip o' the hat to chunkyfrog.) the other thing is in re: wiping your mask. a cheap and effective solution is baby wipes.

good luck!

@Pugsy:
LOL I am so sorry, you are totally right, in my sleep deprived mind I typed mm Hg (we use it for bp in the hospital so I am so used to typing that) instead of cm H2O, that shows you how gone my mind is nowadays. I looked at the data using Oscar yesterday, and it seemed that my pressures started at 8.2ish and by the end of the night were up to 8.7ish. I surprisingly did not find any spikes in pressure, but then again that was just one night. I will try your method of cleaning it, but I am considering trying the Bleep (based on your review post and the positive feedback from many others).

@Zonker:
If I stick with the P10 for the long haul I will consider the Waterpik, it definitely looks like a convenient and easy way to clean it. I had tried baby wipes in the past but the lint left behind by the wipes kept tickling my nose and I couldnt stand it lol, so I switched to the wipes I linked in my post. Do you have a specific recommendation for lintless baby wipes?

Thanks!

That's okay...I understand...old habits are hard to break. Been there and done that myself more than once.

oh! i was just running my yap about generic as a cost cutting measure. if there is a special need for what you're paying for, carry on. mine aren't a specific brand. it's whoever co-packs the baby wipes for winco groceries! and i don't particularly notice any lint, but then i'm not looking for any.
