PB, I wrote the Dr a letter explaining why I wanted an M Series Auto as opposed to a straight CPAP (Based on what I learned in this forum) and they were very receptive to my desire to want the Auto. I have had it for 2 weeks and would recommend asking for the auto as opposed to the straight CPAP. Th...

The VA is issuing the M series, also they will allow you to try just about any mask. The DME they work with in CT is very responsive and the VA specifically told me to call them if I had any questions or problems. They had no problem giving me an M series Auto, all I had to do was ask. All they aske...

If you are in need of any of the manuals for the M series Auto, PM me and I can send them to you, I have them all including the Provider setup.

I believe in the freedom of information and feel that we should have all the information available, not just what a Dr or DME feels we should know.

Have you tried it for a night yet?

Let us know how well it stands up to the usage test.

In case anyone else is looking for the manuals, you can download them directly from Respironics.

Here is the link to all their manuals in PDF format.

Good morning,

Birdshell do you have a count on the number of entires? Looking forward to seeing everyones creativity.

I have to agree with snoredog, I only started 2 day's ago, but using the m series Auto it has recorded FL both day's.

Thanks for the advice, my second night also went well, so I'm happy to be getting off to such a good start, last night was 8.5 hours on the hose, no Large leaks and my AHI was 2.4. I'm already starting to see a sweet spot forming, but I'll give it a week before tweaking anything so I have a decent b...

Linda, Thank you very much, but the real credit goes to all the people posting and helping on this forum. This is an incredible source of information and I look forward to being able to someday help and add to the collective knowledge. DrBandage, Thank you as well and I agree, I am absolutely amazed...

My hat is off to everyone on this forum that has posted. My first sleep study was in Dec, In the morning the RT said I had OSA, but could not say more, "I'm not allowed to give an analysis, but yes you have OSA" That day I started my search for information and I found this forum, since then I have r...

Thank you all for the help, Last night was my first night on the hose and this evening I have been trying to get encore and my reader setup. This posting helped fix the problems I was having.

My first night went well, 9.5 hours on the hose without a problem, now to see what the data say's

I've had a very good experience working with the VA, much better than working with private Doc's and all. I had my sleep study done by the private Dr, they said I have moderate OSA, but won't write a script until the results of my second study are in (I'm still waiting they said it would take 4 week...

This won't help on this trip, but I found this to be very interesting reading

Good luck on your trip.

Has anyone else used this Battery Pack? An Alernative I'm looking at is an N-Charge battery pack from http://www.valence.com/ncharge2.asp As described in this article http://www.episteme-software.com/cpap.html Both look promising, I was wonder if anyone has experience with either solution. For Home ...

lvwildcat, I know I'm new to this, but I've been reading the forum waiting for my study results. I just got off the phone with Cigna and they told me I can't use Apria because they terminated the contract with them. Perhaps this is just for the plan I'm in, but they said I can't use Apria and they a...
