Re: Bipap called for?
Hi I wanted to thank everybody for their input. My Mom had a sleep study and her doctor prescribed CPAP. They prescribed an apap with the pressures at the standard crappy 4-20 pressure range. She was sold a Resmed Airsense 10 apap. When I went up the first time, I checked her usage and stats to get ...

Bipap called for?
Hi My Mom is an 86 year old who recently started using a CPAP. She lives around 200 miles away from me, and doesn't have internet service in her neck of the woods. When I go up, I download her data to Oscar I gave her an old CPAP of mine to use when she started. I ran her for a week and made adjustm...

Re: sleep apnea driver's license rules and laws
In the state of Maine, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles requires everyone diagnosed with sleep apnea to disclose this diagnosis on all applications and renewal applications for all non-commercial driver's licenses. The state then monitors everyone that has a current Maine driver's license with a diagno...

Re: Emergency Battery Back Up
I've read through captian loki's thread and it sounds like the deep cycle scooter batteries are the way to go. My question is with the price of the portable power stations having come down so much is it still the recommended way to go or would buying one of these 24 volt power stations w the solar ...

Re: Choosing a Battery
My mom has just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and I have an electrical/battery question. I have a cart that I have the tender and a 100ah deep cycle battery. I can easily roll it from the bedroom to the command module known as the recliner. Once positioned and in command, I can just plug the dc pl...

Re: Alternative to Ruby Red Chin Strap by CareFusion
My husband has been using the Large (not adjustable) Ruby Red chin strap for years but it is no longer made. I see other red chin straps but most are adjustable and I am not familiar with the brands. Is there an alternative brand that is as tight fitting as this one? He does not want an adjustable ...

Re: Lincare DME offered to sell me So Clean or other CPAP cleaning device
Thank you for sharing this interesting potential solution to my humidification problems. I wonder how well it would work with a ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset machine. Would the hose just be added to the A10 hose that hooks into the back of the A10? Thank you for this "out of the box" idea. When winter...

Re: Lincare DME offered to sell me So Clean or other CPAP cleaning device
The need for a refill every night before a full night of sleep is something I posted about when I first got this A10 machine five years ago. I posted my charts then, as I recall, and none of you came up with any reason for the need for a refill, based on my data. I recall that the advice was to com...

Re: Backup battery for unexpected power outages Resmed Airsense 10
Thank you for the reply. I am afraid that suggestion is a bit beyond my level of technical ability. Maybe my husband can do what you recommend. Hi gardengirl77 Being extremely charitable, I'm not comfortable or experienced with this type of stuff either. If you or your husband reads this thread, ht...

Re: Sound of breathing going through machine. Is it common?
Hi Everyone. ... it just sounds like my breath is somehow moving in and out of the machine, or something like that....but I do get the feeling that it shouldn't be happening. Your machine is maintaining a column of air at a specific pressure, from the machine to your throat. That column of air is w...
