Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

Well it took about a year and half, but I finally have all 3 of my bi-pap machines replace due to the recall. The last of the recall replacement machines arrived today. They replaced my dream station one with dream station two, and my 750 and 760 machines with dream station one. They also gave me th...

Re: Vibratory Snore Problem and Crazy OSCAR Data: Please help!

It would be a good idea to plug up the leaks. Snoring is usually cured with extra pressure. I would start it out at 12 and let it go up to 20 if it needs to.
Give it a few days and see what your results are.

Dream Station Bi-pap Humidifier issue

My Bi-pap settings are 23/19. My machine seems to be stuck on 19. If I take the humidifier off of the machine it functions correctly. Seems like the humidifier is leaking air out of it also. I can hear and feel the air coming out of the tank. I tried re-seating it and same issue. I have never taken ...

Re: Why are there so many bad reviews of the Philips Respironics DreamStation?

I started on my Bi-Level therapy 5 years ago on PR System One 760. The machine gave me the best therapy. I decided in May of this year since my machine is 5 years old I should probably should get a replacement. The DME brought me a Resmed AirCurve 10S machine Bi-Level. It turned out to be horrible c...

Re: Scared new user

You should start getting used to wearing the mask while sitting watching TV or reading.. Some other activity. You have to teach your brain that it is OK to have that mask on your face.

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

Well I got rid of that fussy AirCurve 10 S machine this past week. I could not get the leaks under control. I guess I am just a sloppy mess and thank goodness the Dream Station can tolerate the leaks. I think I move around to much in my sleep because I start out good but than it gets terrible during...

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

So for whatever reason the machine did NOT like the mask liner. Well, the mask liner is creating a large leak. Try a different liner. Well the thing is the liner is new and also a new mask to go with the new machine. I had planned it all out and wanted to go smoothly :? . Oh well if stupid can happ...

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

Well I worked with this machine and the Resmed Mask for about half hour and could not get the green smiley NO matter how i adjusted. I had bad sleep the 2 nights prior. I gave up and slept with the 760. Well I started messing with it again this afternoon and I now have it figured out. The problem is...

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

Do the same bi-level pressures feel more or less the same while awake between the two different machines? Did you create a new profile on Sleepy Head? The way leak is reported is different between the manufacturers. I wonder if Sleepy Head is smart enough to change the leak threshold per profile if...

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

I think the problem with the leak was related to the mask and the machine not being able to get a handle on the venting and reporting too much excess leak when too much excess leak wasn't really happening. I have seen this happen on occasion with other ResMed machines and some masks on some people....

Re: New AirCurve 10 S

yes I slept though the events.. I never heard the leak alarm.

Last night was about the same, but this time I kept hearing the alarm. I ended up hooking the mask to the 760 machine, and went to sleep.
I called the company and told them to come get the machine out of here.
