Re: Replacement for AirCurve 10 VAuto?

Re: How to disable cellular signal on Resmed Airsense 11

Same Question...Why?
If you disable the modem and it was purchased through insurance, there may be a problem. Most likely voided the warranty too.

Re: Just getting started - advise appreciated

Go into your settings and find EPR.....That is the pressure relief. You can set it to 1,2,3,. That's the amount of pressure reduction when you exhale.

Re: OT:::::Medicare Advantage plans "are taking over Medicare and they are taking advantage of elderly patients,"

The Advantage Plans vary by zip code. We have had ours for over 10 years and love it. My wife just ordered new glasses....Retail was $179 for frame and $85 for the lens...Our cost..$0. Most of our Meds are $0 cost.

Re: Switching from APAP to CPAP

Why not just make the switch and see how you feel. It's really no big deal. If you know your average pressure on APAP, use that as your fixed pressure on CPAP setting. Personally, I would always take APAP with a pressure range. Some people dislike the feeling of pressure changes and prefer a fixed p...

Re: Using other filter media

Since the air coming out of your CPAP is coming from the room where the machine is located, I would be concerned about any odors in the room.

With that negative attitude CPAP may be a problem for you. You have to want it to work.

Re: Made A Cleaning Mistake

Whatever is in the water tub NEVER enters the machine.The machine blows it into the hose and mask. If cleaning doesn't get rid of the alcohol smell, buy a new water tub and possibly a hose.
