OP on the linked thread promised to report back and never did. I assume the experiment left him unable to report. :cry:

Re: Resmed P10 Nasal pillows cracking/splitting on bottom rim

Had to Google that one. I understand the stuff is good for removing silicone oil, so I would question its suitability for this task. Seems like it might suck the very oil out of the pillows that keep them soft. https://technotes.alconox.com/industry/ ... cone-oils/

...and I rigged a 'cheater cord' to connect it to a 240v RV plug I'd installed in my driveway.
Also known as a suicide cord for good reason, and no mention of a transfer switch. Do it right or don't do it.

Re: ResMed AirSense10 and generator

#1 Don't be responsible for starting a fire yourself during a red flag event. Shut the generator off and let it cool before refueling, keep it well maintained, and run it far away from flammables. #2 Fuel may be hard to come by. The same power outage will likely turn off the fuel pumps. The stations...

Re: Heating system error AS11

Warm but not hot sounds about right. The only time any of my CPAP humidifiers got hot was when I allowed them to run dry.

Re: Freedom V2 battery

Battery failure one week, ice storm bringing power failure the next. Three nights without CPAP, and I'm surprised at how well I can sleep. Spouse is out of town, so no feedback on snoring. I might remain battery-less.

Re: AirMini USB-C Power, Hose Adapter for Dreamstation GO hose.

JerryChicago,

With the recalls and law suits flying over what might land in your lungs during CPAP use, how does the glue and heat shrink you used stack up? I doubt the manufacturers of these products ever tested them for this use.

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Anyone get anything from this settlement yet? I went ahead and set up Zelle which supposedly allows faster payment. Nothing.

Re: Freedom V2 battery

Update: The second battery failed in the same manner as the first (flickering display, restarting CPAP and no juice at all when AC is lost) last week. I'm once again at the mercy of the power company and weather.

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

And it does not appear to be a release of any future liability either; that's kind a requirement for me to participate. If you don’t want a payment or any other benefits from the Settlement and you want to keep your ability to sue the Philips Defendants or the other Released Parties or Ozone Cleani...

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Notice they will pay your claim, but if you've used So-Clean they would like your claim against that company assigned to them. The litigation continues.

Be sure to watch the last 5 min. where he mentions the times you cannot change from an Advantage Plan. Worth knowin...

What effect would the magnetic field have on your brain over a long period of time using a mask with magnets?
Probably the same effect as having your brain exposed to the Earth's magnetic field over a long period of time.
