Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

I've been using the Innomed Hybrid for years now and I have a collection of unused pillows & cushions. I hate to throw them out. Maybe somebody here will swap with me for the sizes I use (preferred), or just take them outright for the USPS cost of shipping. The packaging has, of course, been opened ...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

I've got a sizable collection of pillows (s & l) and cushions (s & m) for the Innomed/Respcare hybrid mask.

I'd happily swap for M pillows and L cushions to suit this mask.
I'll also consider any offers for these parts.

Re: Hybrid mask parts swap

I've got the following Respcare hybrid parts to swap/sell/whatever:

3 small cushions
3 medium cushions
2 large pillows
3 small pillows

All are unused.

I'd like to swap for large cushions and medium pillows.
If you don't have parts to swap suggest another arrangement.

Re: ambien - cumulative effects?

Are you taking the Ambien at the beginning of the night, or after you wake up at the 5 hour mark? Is it Continuous Release or regular? For what its worth... I take the regular Ambien at the beginning of the night, usually around 10. I don't have any odd health problems, liver dysfunctions, etc. I h...

ambien - cumulative effects?

For the last month or so I've been on Ambien to help me sleep through the night. No, its not the mask nor leaks that disturb my sleep. I've had that sorted out for a long time. I was just waking up after 5 hours and I couldn't get back to sleep. That really messed me up for my job. Ambien certainly ...

Camping, cold weather & CPAP

Hi, I'm curious to know if anyone has experience camping with a CPAP in, say, 40-50F weather. That is just within the operating temperature range of my intellipap. I've got all the usual power supply stuff sorted out, but there isn't enough juice in my regular battery pack to run the humidifier/heat...

Re: Hybrid mask parts swap

FYI, I use the large cushion and medium pillows.
I've got some of all the other sizes if anyone wants to trade.

Re: Experience w/S9 & USB adapter/Oximeter?

I want to monitor her data, and send it in to the doc without having to deal with the hassle of getting the provider the cards, etc. I think the first thing to find out is if the doctor is on board with you sending in data via internet, or any other way that doesn't involve taking in a card. Also, ...

Re: Chili Pad?

I have one -- love it. Can you comment on how loud the pump/heater/cooling units are? Does the construction (primarily the liquid handling parts) appear to be sturdy and well thought out? etc. I haven't seen a review of one of these anywhere, but I just started looking yesterday. Maybe I haven't lo...

Re: Oximeter Kit for S9 and USB adapter

"CPAP Australia" cancelled my order. ... To the previous poster, I realize there is a SD card. The interest in the USB adapter is for instantaneous numbers. A few months ago I bought a USB adapter from CPAP Australia without any problems. I guess something has changed... I figured it'd be easier to...

Re: ZEO anybody use one?

It is possible to wear the headband-sensor + a CPAP mask (that has a forehead connector), though a person's level of success at it may depend on specific geometry + real estate of the head. I have worn it a few times underneath the CPAP-mask connector and with some adjustments of the mask, it works...

Re: ZEO anybody use one?

Nice! Yes, I usually take the detailed 30-second data and plot it into a bar chart in Excel. Yup, I've done that too. These days I mostly use their web site. Their blog has a post about "how it works". ... Also you probably saw on their developer site, they are supposedly working on a "Real Time" i...

Re: ZEO anybody use one?

thanks so much for asking this question, i had also been wondering about the zeo. so from what i gathered from mike sharp is that it may give you some (very little) data to use along with all our other devices to try and figure things out. i think it would be to labor intensive for me if you have t...

Re: ZEO anybody use one?

They released a firmware update + java SDK + sample code that allows you to have full control of all your data without uploading anything to their web site. You have to sign up for it on the developer's site, and also know a bit about compiling java programs. I've got the firmware upgrade and their...
