Re: Insurance Fraud? Airsense 10 and ROTECH.

Could you possibly give the OP an example of how he is saving money? I gave an example of how I could/did save money. Did you not understand the math? OP is a big boy and needs to do his own math. I have yet to have my insurance buy me a machine. 15 years on cpap. I do the math. Have a nice day.

Re: Insurance Fraud? Airsense 10 and ROTECH.

And you call this an Advantage? I think I would NOT sign with another Advantage Plan. How is this saving money? When you have perpetual rental - such a deal. Live n' Learn or NOT or just get another *Advantage*. 1....Not all Advantage plans do this (though I admit more and more are going to perpetu...

Re: Unclassified Apneas

You were in the middle of a large leak for one thing.
You weren't asleep for another thing.
It really doesn't matter what they are if you aren't asleep because you have to be asleep for anything flagged to really matter.

Re: Mysathenia Gravis and Bipap Machine

I do not know if they would help or hurt in your situation but you might talk to an ENT doc about your problem and what you think it is and would something like "lacrimal plugs" be indicated as a possible solution for your problem.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

Quick report as I am short on time. Funeral to go to this morning. Anyhow....found a negative (for me anyway) and that was a strap mark on my face this morning. Probably the side that was "down" on the bed pillow (buckwheat so a bit firm) as I am primarily a side sleeper and I rotate sides often. Al...

Re: OSCAR Question with new machine

I would use the new machine while it is under warranty.....just in case. If you wait until the other one up and dies it might put your new machine out of warranty and if something should happen to it when out of warranty then you will be kicking yourself in the butt. Odds are nothing will happen but...

What are the noise levels like? I'm currently using a Respironics DreamWear nasal mask.
Pretty much silent unless the vented air bounces off something.

Re: OSCAR Question with new machine

The new machine may not like the old card if it has the old machine's data on it.
You may need to erase the old SD card if you want to use it.

I would just use a new card in the new machine if it was me.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

Thanks for this. Do you find it has any advantages over the N30? I think it is a little more stable than the N30 because of the easy way to adjust the tension by small incremental amounts.. I wanted to compare it to how the N30 feels against the skin but I seem to have put my N30 in a place that is...

I assume that is Nick not the model farting in the video.

I didn't watch the videos. Technical difficulties on my end. So I don't know who did the farting.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

One night under my belt with the Solo mask. No problems. It's a nice little mask. I could use it long term if I had to but while it is a nice little mask....it won't be displacing the Eclipse from the number one priority of use spot. Had a small amount of leak which was probably mouth opening leak b...

Re: Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum

It's not fixed. I have seen the same message (I posted a screen shot of it above) no less than a half a dozen times already this morning. Last night was so bad I couldn't get online for about an hour and I thought maybe they were working on it....so I went to bed with my fingers crossed last night.....

Re: Need a new cpap machine

What is the brand and model name of your current machine that is broken? Do you happen to have (or can you get) a physical copy of your cpap RX? Do you have to use insurance or is your wallet deep enough to pay out of pocket without insurance involvement? Places like cpap.com will require a copy of ...

Re: For Sale: VirtuCLEAN 2.0 CPAP Equipment and Mask Cleaner

That's an Ozone cleaner. It will void any ResMed warranty if you use it. I don't know about other brands. I do know that Respironics doesn't promote ozone cleaner use either but they don't sell cpap machines any more (in the US anyway). Ozone cleaner use has been known to damage or cause breakdown o...

Re: Rough First Night On Bi-level

I would be over my head with the ST machine. :lol: :lol: It wasn't your best choice of models for sure. It was designed to work better for people with some very specific respiratory issues because it works more like a ventilator forcing a person to breathe when they don't/can't breathe on their own....
