Thank you for the responses. The ones I listed are the only ones that their new insurance told them they use.

Re: Just Received Two Replacement DS1s via Recall - Has Anyone Else Received DS1s Instead of DS2s? New or Refurbished?

I received my replacement, a new DS 2, 18 months after filing for it. During that time my doctor changed me over to a Bi-Level so I had to purchase that out of pocket. Selling the replacement Philips DS2. A neighbor got her replacement, also a brand new DS 2 about 2 months after she filed for it. Sh...

Yes! My allergies as well. And some anatomical issues .... like a deviated septum can affect your upper airway resistance (UARS/flow limits).

Re: Weeks worth of data, need some advice....

Looking at your charts, I noticed the following: Fixed 12.4, flow limits were a bit high, but your OAs, Hs, CAs seem well controlled. 12-14 IPAP (w/ EPR 3 yielding 9-11 EPAP) gave good numbers. Your OAs just before waking were likely SWJ (sleep wake junk) and you can likely ignore them. But ... You ...

Re: Weeks worth of data, need some advice....

Flow limits are partial obstructions. Some people sleep fine with them, others like myself find they create a number of arousals during the night, interrupting sleep. Your flow limits are controlled by the pressure support (on bi-level CPAP), EPR (on standard auto or fixed pressure ResMed CPAP) and ...

Re: DME that carries Bleep and bills Medicare?

Thank you Pugsy. Very helpful information. I registered with AeroFlow. Will be nice to get away from my current DME that hasn't been all that great.

Re: DME that carries Bleep and bills Medicare?

Just thought of a question. Medicare typically pays for new headgear every 6 months and masks every 3 months.

How about the Bleep connector kit? Every 3 months or every 6 months?

thanks.

Re: DME that carries Bleep and bills Medicare?

Thanks to all who responded to this question. Great information. I too am starting on Bleep and my DME doesn't carry them. I will be contacting Aeroflow.
