Re: Anyone used the Snore circle YA50G?

Thanks for the link, I did find that video this morning. Not great! It's a shame there isn't a good machine around that price point. The market needs a disruptor to come in and shake things up, I feel were being fleeced by Resmed/F&P's for what is essentially a fan, some pressure sensors and some fa...

Re: Anyone used the Snore circle YA50G?

Thanks for detailed reply, appreciated. I had a Z1 and it failed after 18 month. HDM weren't interested is repairing it as I'm outside of North America, Therefore never getting another HDM product... I use the S10 as my main machine, but think it's too big to travel with as I do a bit of backpacking...

Anyone used the Snore circle YA50G?

I'm looking for a travel CPAP but as it'll only be used a few weeks a year can't justify spending big on Resmed Mini etc. I've seen this CPAP on AliExpress for less than 1/3 of the price and wondered if anyone here has used it? https://snorecircle.com/products/ya50g-vvfly-apap-device I buy lots of i...

Re: N95 filter for Remed Airsense 10

I did see that one after I posted my version. Looks tidy but only uses a single 3M filter. The 3M respirators are designed to use 2 so as not to restrict air flow, which would be particularly important with CPAP. Probably not a big issue with N95 but would likely be a problem if using activated char...

Re: Defective CPAP Filters

The standard Remed filters do discolour as they pickup dust so are doing some filtering but the filter is so course there is no way it's managing to filter pollen, mold and bacteria. I still get hay fever with the standard filters. I designed an adapter for my Resmed 10 that allows a pair of 3M N95 ...

Re: bacterial filters

I found the same thing with those style filters. There is a setting in Resmed S10 that is supposed to compensate for the pressure resistance but I thought that didn't really make a difference. So I developed a different solution that works so well: https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=188649...

Re: 3d printed Airsense10 bayonet filter safe?

Thanks, I found it on Amazon. Looks like they are using a 3d model that someone posted on printables. I did a version that uses 2 x 3M filters as that's what the 3M respirators use to ensure low inhale resistance and I think is safer for your machine as puts less load on the motor. Mine can also be ...

Re: Larger better filter?

That’s nice! If I’d seen that I would have done that instead, I already have extra filters around. Thanks, it's working really well for me. Like you I was thinking there had to be a better filter option than the one that's on the machine and wanted to make sure that the solution didn't restrict air...

Re: Larger better filter?

I designed a simpler option that uses any 3M respirator filter including N95.

If you don't have a 3d printer there are lots of online 3d print services that print and courier parts to you. Like PCBway.

Re: N95 filter for Remed Airsense 10

No worries. I think you'd have to remove to door to access the inlet. It does just unclip but there is a small risk of breaking the plastic so I wouldn't do it unless your really keen on hooking up my n95 filter. I found some good pictures on line so might have a crack at a tapered oval that should ...

Re: N95 filter for Remed Airsense 10

If anyone is able to accurately measure the height and width of the oval I can make an adapter.

Re: N95 filter for Remed Airsense 10

Looks like the hole on the Airsense 11 is a little obscured by the filter door. I think you'd have to unclip the door at the hinges.

I notice your maker page offers making adapters for other CPAP. What information do you need for the AirSense 11?
I'd need the shape and dimensions of the air inlet port. I imagine the Airsense 11 is the same as 10 (round 14mm hole)?

N95 filter for Remed Airsense 10

I sometimes have allergy to pollen and needed a good filter. So I designed and 3D printed an adapter to take 3M respirator filters and cartridges and a hose adaptor that allows me to use a spare CPAP hose to connects to my Resmed Airsense 10 inlet. https://i.ibb.co/1r46Yrq/PXL-20240811-015555730.jpg...
