Update... We had a phone visit with the nurse practioner for our annual checkup. She recommended that my husband get a new machine once we convinced her that it cannot give good therapy if it does not record any information about what happens while he sleeps. She agreed because his machine has been ...

Thanks bwexler! Great idea! They can't argue with that, now can they? I like the way you think. Actually the DME suggested the new machine when I talked to her the other day because of its age. Fortunately for us, we have the Medicare supplement that pays for everything that Medicare approves but do...

Thanks for trying, Pugsy. I have always had to bring in the disc to show the doctor. Could it be a state thing?

Hi Pugsy We have an old computer that still has Sleepyhead on it. I put the disc in there. It has data from 7/4/20 to 7/11/20 and old stuff from 2019. No other data from 2020. Not one bit. Looking in the P folders, it has dates of 7/11 and 7/12 which is last night and this morning. Other dates have ...

Thanks Pugsy. I have not used software to check the SD. I opened it with the Windows 10 that shows the drives. I looked at it yesterday and realized that the last entry had been dated a year ago, just about the time of the last in-person visit with the doctor. This morning, after leaving it in the m...

My husband needs to go for his yearly sleep apnea checkup so the doctor can collect the data from the previous year to satisfy Medicare so we can continue to get supplies. Somehow the SD did not get properly seated in his System One machine all last year. He can skip the in-person visit and have a t...

I remember you from long ago. Perhaps you remember me too. My daughter has CFS/ME and has been disabled by it for about 12 years. She also suffers with POTS and has OSA. Witnessing the effects of those makes me wonder how she can face each day. So much research needs to be done to find ways to help ...

If you can't read that, it is on a page Lovepet/TeeChip. I have no affiliation with that company. The price might be cheaper.

My husband went through the Medicare requirements for machines. He started with an auto-pap, had another study to qualify for bi-pap, then another study for the machine for central apnea. So, 3 sleep studies, but Medicare paid for all the studies and different machines. We have an excellent doctor w...

I agree that nothing compares to the headrest mask! I used it for years. I have changed to the Airfit p10.

It is quite light in weight and it has quiet and soft exhale.

What effect did that have on your hair?

Thanks. It looks very much alike. I needed a new hose for my Dreamstation and wondered if the one from my previous machine would work.

Thanks.

Is the heated tubing for the Dreamstation the same as the heated tubing for the Respironics system one machine? Other than color.

What I mean is are they interchangeable?

Thanks.

Thanks, Pugsy. Those examples help a bunch. I have a busy day today, but should be able to do some evaluating tomorrow. I will guess that I don't have many real events. I have an auto-bi-pap that probably takes care of things very well.
