Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

The manager was the one that told me that people are unhappy with the AC11 and want to trade it back for the AC10. It just seems so ridiculous to me to get a machine that's nine and a half years old in development and I won't be able to change machines till it's 14 and a half years old. That's how I...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

I'm speaking to the manager of the Lincare brand tomorrow or Tuesday. I will ask him if these machines are coming back or are the new users are complaining about these issues of the tube popping off, the water killing the circuit board somehow or the loudness of the motor. If the motor affects your ...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

No, I'm coming from the S9. When the guy at Lincare said you can't trade down to an AirCurve 10 if you don't like the AirCurve 11. Well if the 11 doesn't work right, either it gets fixed or another 11 replaces it. S9 a great machine. Same motor as the AS10. As far as the heated tube, which I think ...

AirCurve 11s are in But

I was told the AirCurve 11s are in but I was also told that you can't trade down for the older model if you don't like the 11. The general manager of the local Lincare branch told me that some people wanted to trade down but he couldn't let them. So that was a warning from a pretty good straight sho...

Re: New info on Airsense/Aircurve 11 problems

I'm still waiting for the ResMed air curve 11. You could have had an AC 10 by now. Yes, I know, I could have gotten one 5 years ago when the 10 was already a 5-year-old machine because I got my S9 few weeks before it was discontinued. ResMed was putting out new machines every 5 years, and I should ...

Re: New info on Airsense/Aircurve 11 problems

I live in Florida and because of that I don't have as much of a need for humidification because I don't wake up with dry mouth but I do wake up with a dry jaw every once in awhile if I'm sleeping on my side. I don't know if I need a heated tube for the same reason but I should have one in case I go ...

Re: Apria or Lincare

You started with a CPAP and then went to the BiPAP or VPAP? What made you make that change? I think more often than not, unless you have a good sleep doctor, then those people just give up and either return the device or let it sit in the closet and Medicare just keeps paying for it. That's what I'd...

Re: I just became compliant. But have a question

Absolutely, get used to it is being a great thing and you can't be too wide awake and too well slept. Sometimes I wake up at 6:30 leave the machine on put on Morning Joe and Steve for another 2 hours and I love it. Not only will you feel better when you wake up for towards the end of the day you'll ...

Re: Apria or Lincare

bwexler, I've had the AirCurve 11 for over a week now. And I got it a day after I ordered it. So they're definately being stocked in the industry. It may just be that your supplier is not as quick as others. I forgot to ask you, how do you like the Air Curve 11? Do you feel any difference from the ...

Re: Apria or Lincare

Pisco21 From which DME did you get it? Apria and Lincare doesn't have them yet. I haven't actually spoken to Lincare in about 2 weeks and my Doctor, after receiving the message from Apria that they cannot fill the order for the Air Curve 11 said they would send it to Lincare. Even though I reminded ...

Re: Apria or Lincare

It's not the Peter Principle because it starts with the doctors who don't know anything because they think they're beyond having to learn all this. My doctor's office ordered me an Air Sense 11, even though in my 21 years of using sleep apnea products I never once used a CPAP. The same doctor's offi...

Re: Resmed 11 humidity pot runs out of water

Please don't use the name resident 11 anymore because there are so many misconceptions between doctors and the people who work in the dme's and the people who work at the doctor's offices who send the information to the dmes and nobody knows what the hell's going on. If it's an ass 10 to 11 say that...

Re: Apria or Lincare

Order was canceled at apria in the general manager called me and he was very nice and said he doesn't know when they're coming in just like the guy at Lincare and just like with some of you people here said which is why this place is such a good place to come to. If I was living in Palm Beach Garden...
