Re: Battery recommendation?

I'm going to assume, tobindia, that you don't want to attempt a homebrew solution and, like me, feel more comfortable with an off-the-shelf solution. It might help you narrow things down if you ask yourself these questions: 1) Do I want to plug my bipap into an AC outlet or a DC outlet on the batte...

Battery recommendation?

I am going to take an African safari, and the tour company advises using a battery with my bipap, as power at some of the safari camps is not reliable. I use a Resmed Air Curve 10. I can sleep without my bipap, though obviously not nearly as well. I am definitely not fluent in electronics, and specs...

Confused about the recall

My wife and I both use Phillips ResMed AirCurves. Hers is a 10 ASV. Mine is a 10 S. When we first heard about the recall, we checked the model numbers on the Phillips website and, not seeing our devices listed, were relieved. However, she recently received a recall notice from Phillips indicating th...

"Which AirCurve 10 model?" -- I have no idea. On the front, it just says AirCurve 10. Is there another way to tell>

Re: Is this aerophagia?

Wow! There's a lot to unpack here. Thanks for all of the responses. First, the equipment. I have a ResMed AirCurve 10. I do not know the pressures, or how to find them. I just took it from the supplier, who presumably setup the device as prescribed by my pulmonologist. I use a Swift FX mask with pil...

Is this aerophagia?

I have complex sleep apnea and have been using a bipap for several years. I go to sleep about 11:00 +/-. About 2 years after beginning with the bipap, I started waking up anywhere from 2:30-6:30 with discomfort in my stomach. Whether I sit on the edge of my bed for a moment or go right to the bathro...

Does anyone know of a CPAP battery backup that is approved by the TSA for plane travel?

What's new in bipeds?

My wife and I both have Phillips Respironics bipaps. I’ve had mine for 7-8 years. My wife a bit less. We travel a lot, and we are finding our bipaps to be more and more cumbersome. With the humidifier attachment, they’re each about the size of a shoebox, necessitating a carry-on suitcase just for th...
