1)... you need the Micro-Chip Monitoring? 2)...ResMed Air 19 has been discontinued and the ResMed Air Sense 10 will replace it as the entry level Unit 1) by "micro-chip monitoring," I assume you mean full data capability saved on an SD card. If so, the answer is yes - if you want to know what is go...

Re: Query: AirSense 10 AutoSet timing difference

Example: start session at 11:30 PM - end session at 7:00 AM - I compute this as 7 hours 30 minutes... To clarify: the time I refer to is that displayed on the machine immediately following the session; it is always longer than the actual time I use the machine. Agreed, the total run time will alway...

Query: AirSense 10 AutoSet timing difference

I have noticed a consistent difference between the daily hours of use as reported on the data panel of the machine and my computation as well as reported by SleepyHead. Example: start session at 11:30 PM - end session at 7:00 AM - I compute this as 7 hours 30 minutes of use; SH reports the same. The...

Re: Uars friendly doctor or sleep lab near baltimore md?

You might also attempt Dr. Christopher S King at Walter Reed Medical Army Center in DC. He was the lead investigator in a clinical trial to evaluate the use of ARES, a non-invasive device in the diagnosis of UARS. His phone as given in the clinical trial data was - at the time of the original trial ...

Re: SleepyHead stopped working?

Try copying the card into a new folder on your desktop to see if: 1) it actually copies 2) there are actual files copied 3) if 1 & 2 are successful, try importing to SH from the new folder If successful, reformat the SD card using a program called SD Card Formatter 4.0 from the SD Association. https...

...the resmed E8 is still working fine, but I want to get a backup unit. possibly a cpap with humidifier that has an easy to clean reservoir... Is your need for a straight CPAP (single pressure setting) or an APAP (high-low range automatically selected as needed)? If CPAP, I have a RESMED S9 Elite ...

Re: So what is considered the Rolls Royce of CPAP Machines

Perhaps you might help in defining what you mean by "Rolls Royce of CPAP machines." If you are looking for the most luxurious machine, the question of "what is luxury" in CPAP would come up. If, on the other hand, you are looking for the most reliable, then why not use Land Rover as an analogy? The ...

did you happen to notice the date on the post you're replying to? Of course I did; my comment simply quoted what I considered to be to most salient point in the thread.

Re: mouth breathing problem solved

Watching a football game the other day I found my solution. I purchased a football type mouth guard which covers the outside of the lips something like a baby pacifier. This solved my mouth breathing problem and it can be removed quicker than the tape method. If the mouth guard is like the one post...

Where it should remain. Your solution (no pun intended) is to buy a new tank and never listen to friends who suggest that strong chemicals be added to your breathing environment. Imagine yourself trying to sleep the night surrounded by an oil refinery.

Query: PR DreamWear frame sizes

I recently purchased 3 DreamWear masks fully expecting them to be an acceptable and more comfortable alternative to my normal masks (ResMed AirFit P10 and Swift FX). The one copy I tried using did not work as well as expected; the medium cushion was way too big and the small did not seal properly (t...
