No, no....the 460 is not a full time APAP like the S9 AutoSet. For full time APAP you need the 560 model in the PR S1 line.
The 460 has limited APAP capabilities only..30 days at a time and I think maximum of 5 resets.

After all the APAP time is used up then it reverts to being a fixed cpap pressure machine. It is a full data machine though.

Thank you! The lady keeps mentioning the 460. Sooooo helpful to have this information!!!!

HealthyandHopeful,

Pugsy just caught a real blooper on my part. (Thanks Pugsy!)

I stupidly "thought" 560 while reading and typing 460. I apologize for the confusion. But hubby just came home and started the "what's for dinner conversation" and that distracted me I guess. We've sorted out dinner and it's on the stove and I just sat down and noticed Pugsy's correction.

As pugsy said before: The 460 is a full efficacy data STRAIGHT CPAP machine with very limited Auto PAP capacities. If the doc wants you on a FULL TIME Auto range of 7-12cm, then the 460 is NOT going to work.

Clarify with the DME that the doc wants you on AUTO 7-12 FULL TIME, not for a mere 30-day trial.

Do NOT accept the 460 since it won't run at your new prescription full time for the next five years.

Do accept a 560 System One Auto CPAP. It will run at your new prescription for as long as you have the machine (or until the script is changed)

Thank you and no worries! I have the right info in time! I just can't believe what they keep trying to pull over on me. So thankful for you all here!!
