I also have a barely used Tesmes AirCurve 10 with case. I

There's something like 5 different "Aircurve 10" models, which? how many hours? How much smoke stench?

“Splint” in the sense to maintain a position. If it "maintained a position" and that "position" was it's normal (closed) with apnea, then cpap wouldn't do anything. Why am I even discussing this? Tell ya what, instead, argue with chicagogranny who says that (in defiance of all evidence) FFMs don't ...

The DME is always wanting me to replace my humidifier chamber (and everything else). It seems like overkill to me. Even though I’ve never seen signs of my humidifier chamber needing to be replaced I’ve replaced it 2 times since I’ve had my machine (about 4 years). Unfortunately this morning when I ...

Yeah, sounds logical, but that seems to contradict the popular theory that the Pap can't expand a toy balloon at max pressure, so it would seem dubious that the Cpap pressure is sufficient to push the jaw forward. Well then, I guess CPAP doesn't do anything at all then, eh? Not even close… what I q...

MOST DMEs are known for their continual spew of inaccuracies, falsehoods and outright lies.

You can be cynical and say the only want to cut shipping costs, but it boils down to the same thing: less fuel used per machine shipped = less harm to the atmosphere.

Less space on the nightstand.

??????????
Not what I heard!

That's because it's not true.

Thank you. They aren't the same size, though. If filled to "max" line, the A10 has more space. As has been pointed out to you, you are MISTAKEN Reducing the humidifier capacity is in part how Resmed was able to reduce the size of the A11 slightly. Only, they didn't. Resmed S9, Air10 and (surprise) ...

Can I use the machine without the humidifier, using that plastic seal side piece instead - at leas to see how the noise develops during the night? Should I try to buy a new humidifier, or should I start thinking of a new machine? The present one, which had a blower replaced during warranty is about...

Apart from the CPAP machine which can be replaced when it is damaged from an ozone cleaner, consider your own health..... https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-reminds-patients-devices-claiming-clean-disinfect-or-sanitize-cpap-machines-using-ozone-gas-or and the bits of foam that ...

I also use a Soclean unit after every use. ... I discovered black "hard" particles in the tank in addition to black "streaks" floating in the water. It has happened before, that black "fines" from the carbon filter (these were Soclean filters) were installed in the Soclean Machine. My question is, ...

Simple, if your airway is inflated, it can (depending on your individual anatomy) push your jaw forward as it expands. Yeah, sounds logical, but that seems to contradict the popular theory that the Pap can't expand a toy balloon at max pressure, so it would seem dubious that the Cpap pressure is su...

When using a nasal or pillow mask, the pressure can push your jaw a little forward which opens up your airway more. a FFM keeps the jaw pressed backwards, narrowing the airway. Not sure why the nasal would push the jaw forward, but a tight FFM could surely press the jaw towards the spine, unnecessa...

Some people simply need higher pressure when using a full face mask. Trying to imagine why that would be. Assuming equivalent leakage between nasal and FFM, why would additional pressure be required to achieve equivalent splinting? It has nothing to do with leaks. When using a nasal or pillow mask,...

My guess is that the chamber wasn’t completely seated and caused a runaway pressure increase. No, what you describe * did not happen * All a improperly inserted water chamber will do is cause a loud leak. the machine *NEVER* "runs away". yes, it will blow more air, to compensate for the excessive l...
