Hi all, just started my cpap machine last night. Sleep apnea diagnosed when I had my knee replaced on April 28th and wound up in icu when I had cardiac problems and then went into congestive heart failure. Sleep study showed severe osa and my pressure is set at 17. Have a res med s9 elite and a full face mask. Will check in aafter a few days. Last night had mask on for7.5 hours. I am so happy to find this forum!

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
