Re: Travel Machine, what should I buy?

I took the advice of some and went with a duplicate machine, as it is pretty small and now I have a backup. Went with Philips Respironics System One with C-Flex. Great price and service from cpap.com. Thanks for the advice.

Travel Machine, what should I buy?

I am looking to buy a new travel machine. I presently carry my 8 year old ResMed Tango. It “works” but is old and large. I do not use a humidifier when traveling. My main home machine is a Philips Respironics System One RemStar Pro with C-Flex+ (460P) with humidifier. I travel about 20%. So I was lo...

Insurance Code E0601

I have new health insurance. I was thinking of getting a travel machine but was unsure if they would pay anything for it. I called and they told me on the phone, for my policy: Newer advance machines, not covered. Backup machines, not covered. Allowed 1 machine per 3 year cycle under code E0601. Doe...

Re: SleepyHead Graphs no "axis" data

Well I got it to work. I was going to install on my newest laptop with W7, but thought I would try my 5 year old Dell laptop with XP Pro, SP3, 32 Bit, first……SleepyHead worked fine on this older laptop. I then decided to go back to the old desktop, that did not work, and NOT use the resident video o...

Re: SleepyHead Graphs no "axis" data

Well I guess I posted this without first reading all the history. After reading it may be some time before my 460 machine is fully supported by SleepyHead. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the developer. I did see that I could buy the Encore Software on line for $99. Is the Encore software accep...

Re: Problem with new machine Remstar 150P

Well after 2 months I finally got the machine I ask for, Remstar DS460. Seems like I expected stellar service from my DME but they treated me like I was a problem child. No direct line to the therapist---leave voice mail---call you back thingy. Calls me back and caller ID is blocked. I told them I w...
