Re: Bleep Eclipse Machine Mask Setting

I however notice a change in the flow though compared with the P10 and the dreamports. I love the flow of the dreamports it's so relaxing and comfortable. I've been very busy lately though so I wear my P10 more than anything because it just slips on. THe dreamports are by far my favorite though.

Re: Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

That deal fell through. There was 0 used hours but I asked for the run hours and it was 21000! So I passed on it. I wish someone could trade my prisma 20a for an aircurve . Don’t care which model but I’m out $1600 and it still hurts because it’s a lot of money

Re: Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

I have a chance to get an aircurve 10 tonight. Do you think my therapy will be more comfortable with it than my airsense 11? I have small airways and I feel the ps support is most important for me.

Re: Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

Sounds like what I need for sure. The easybreathe mode in S mode how does that compare to using vauto? Does it time your breathing pretty well while asleep?

Re: Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

I have read about people having trouble with the transition to biPAP from APAP as well. Not sure of their main complaints but I do think it has to do with that timing. I think the majority said to put it on rapid response or whatever it was. I know that some people also ordered the wrong machine. Mo...

Re: Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

I haven’t tried the FFM setting and I don’t think the lowenstein has it, at least not this model. So the EPR 3 dips effective pressure to the Epap right. The bi level machine lives at one pressure? So if I had inhale at 10 and exhale at 6, it will live at 8? I can take a video of what I’m experienci...

Re: Acupuncture and Moderate Sleep Apnea

Eating healthy, regular massage, no electronics before bed is what helps me. I use cpap though. I don’t think accupuncture is for sleep apnea. It will help you sleep but it can’t cure apnea?

Moving from AS 11 to Lowenstein PRISMA 20a

Hi I have been using Airsense 11 since 2021. I recently researched and purchased the Lowenstein Prisma 20a (for sale in the forum). I spent a lot of money on this machine and don't want to give up on it so easily, but I just don't want to lose any more sleep. I have dialed in my Airsense 11 settings...

Re: Lowenstein algorithm for early inhalation

Is it bad to have it start at 5ipap and 4 epap? That is how I fell asleep any higher it is too much to fall asleep. I have it starting at 6ipap once I fall asleep and my old settings on air 11 were 9 iPap with 3 epr

Re: Lowenstein algorithm for early inhalation

Yes I’m finding that out. Last evening I was able to finally sleep with it on. Only for four hours though. That’s more than the previous nights when I took it off after an hour each night not being able to fall asleep. Hope each day gets better because my Oscar waveform and rest was great this morni...

Lowenstein algorithm for early inhalation

So I have been struggling to get used to the early release of iPap with my lowenstein prisma 20a. The timing of breathes make it very hard to fall asleep with it. With my airsense 11 my exhale relief is full then it waits for me to inhale which is great but then when I need the inhale it takes a whi...
