Re: Help - EDS worsened long term therapy
Welcome to the forum. Your charts don't look too bad on the whole - nothing to suggest the fatigue you are feeling. However, your respiration rate is on the high side, and you are breathing both fast and deep. This may be related to your various conditions or the medications you're on. This is well ...

Re: Confused regarding Mask/Tubing/Humidifier Tub Cleaner
It looks like the advice against using certain products is based on their strong odours or harmful vapours. I think the key to getting your gear back into a usable condition is thorough rinsing in hot water to get all residue out. The general advice is to let the gear air-dry, but I have found that ...

Re: Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum
I frequently get a "Site can't be reached message" but this disappears after a second or so, and the site then connects. It seems to be running very slow.

Re: Leaks and MyAir reporting
MyAir is a really poor way of managing treatment, and can give quite misleading results. However if you're consistently getting 0 out of 20 for mask seal, then there is a problem. As Miss Emerita said, the machine cannot properly diagnose events during periods of large leak, so you low AHI may well ...

Re: Prescribed CPAP settings setup for replacement machine
I will look into monitoring now. How does that work? I thought it needs to be done by professional, but it doesn't seem to be the case, correct? If you require compliance for insurance or licensing purposes, then professional monitoring may be an issue. But for most of us it's quite easy to do it y...

Re: Prescribed CPAP settings setup for replacement machine
G'day always-tired, welcome to the forum. You don't need to rely on a provider to set up the machine for you - it is an easy DIY setting. See here: https://www.apneaboard.com/resmed-airsense-11-setup-info To get the best out of the machine, get hold of the clinical manual, available from Apnea Board...

It was quite disturbing to see the amount of degraded foam actually inside the impellor housing.vandownbytheriver wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 2:50 pmUncle Nick has a video out today:

Re: Apria or Lincare
Almost 10 years and only cosmetic? How do you know that the fan and the motor is less powerful? This is not a technology that moves very fast. All the algorithms are pretty well understood and have been for a few years. In terms of the motor in the AS11 series, various people have pulled them apart...

Re: DeVilbiss stops making sleep apnea devices
Seems like I'm special too...
I vaguely recall DeVilbiss announcing quite a long time ago that they were exiting the sleep device market.

Many thanks Red.
Apart from AVG anti-virus playing silly buggers (easily fixed) it downloaded and installed nicely.

Re: Apria or Lincare
No the air curve 11 is a BiPAP. I never use it CPAP. So is the AirCurve 10. The 10 is a solidly built, highly reliable product that has been around for years. The 11 is a cosmetic upgrade and a functional downgrade (ie smaller / cheaper motor & fan), but the bilevel models have only been on the mar...

Re: Help for the clueless
Obviously the leaks are the main concern right now, and other factors really only come into play once the leaks are under control. You can ignore the flow limitations - Resmed ASV machines report limitations differently from other types. From the Apnea Board wiki: Flow limitation is a common charact...

Re: Can a CPAP machine truly revolutionize life?
Everybody responds differently. In my case, CPAP treatment (actually ASV):
- Stopped me falling asleep in the car on my way to work
- Stopped me falling asleep during work meetings
- Completely cured my heart palpitations.
