Best machine for UARs

Post by Zolty123 » Sun Aug 07, 2022 12:12 pm

Hi,

My current bipap asv broke and in currently looking for a new one. I had the philips resmed but I got it when I was still self treating and I didn’t really know what I had. Now thst I have an official diagnosis it’s much easier to get the machine that would best fit my needs.

Unfortunately my doctor is not the best at telling me which machine I should use so I can’t go to him and I was wondering what machines you all use those who have uars and how well it’s working?

There is no such brand as Philips ResMed.

Exactly which brand/model did you have that broke?
Did it help and/or relieve your symptoms to your expectations?
Did you try other brands and models and find them lacking? If so, what?

Unfortunately there isn't any brand or model designed specifically for UARS.

If you are wanting another ASV model then the ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV is probably you best bet.

With the recall of the Philips machines they aren't really making the ASV model in the DreamStation 2 model line yet that is supposedly using the "safe" foam. Were you aware of the recall?

If it were me and I was only wanting the ASV model....the ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV would be my only choice if it were me.
You don't know the status of any Philips Respironics ASV in terms of being refurbished with the new foam or not.
And I don't know that I would necessarily trust the "new foam" anyway.
