With Respironics, I am under 3 AHI and the doctor does not seem to worry too much. I will post some data soon. "The AHI is measured on a numeric scale. Scores for adults are divided into three categories, which correspond to different levels of OSA severity: Mild: An AHI of at least five events per ...

I am using the resmed airfit 10 and the heated hose that comes with dreamstation II. I managed to put ductape on the mask hose and it now snuggles better onto the heated hose. I seldom remove the two (why would I? ) this is a recurring problem but I am not about to change masks as this is the best n...

I use a ResMed nose pillow with Respironics heated tube, and after a while, the two get so loose that they separate. I normally use duct tape or sticky medical tape to fix the problem, but that must be a better way. I am not used to any nose pillow from Respironics, and it seems to have had the same...

With Respironics, I often hit 7 AHI (the average was not THAT bad).

What was the average?

7 AHI is too high unless a good part of it is SWJ.

The average was still about 4-5, but I had these scary spikes that I seem not to have anymore.

Yes, I thought it was BS too, but what can you say when you go to the Medical office, and they laid this crap on you. I will not post any OScar data either take my world or not; I have no time or interest in deep analysis. Just accept my numbers are better now, so I stay with the noisy Dreamstation....

So due t the recall, I received a Respironics DS CPAP, but I also purchased a Resmed CPAP. My doctor said due to insurance issues, I must use Respironics, which they paid for?!! This way, I get free supplies. Ever since I returned to Respironics DS, I noticed two things. It is noisier, but my AHI nu...

While it only lasts 12-14 hours, I am in the process of purchasing this model. It'll do the job for the occasional storm that knocks power out where I live. In most cases, the power is only out for a day when there's an outage. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/portable-outlet-ups-battery I would ca...

I just purchased the UPS battery ( we still have this "atmospheric river?"), a very bad winter storm in California. So got a medical supply promoted but sold on amazon thingy. (I can return it if it is Chinese crap) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DDJHQ9C?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https:...

Sleep Apnea has destroyed my health & life. I am fortunate to be close to 100% recovery within 3-4 years. I like hearing stories of people who work through health problems and get good solutions. Congratulations! Wow!! I thought I had intriguing information to share. So, you were expecting a great ...

My insurance uses them, but out of pocket I would use a different store. These are just the items available, which store is good in your opinion?

These seem REAL, except I have no idea which one...https://www.apriadirect.com/cpap/power-solutions

I have the similar model Aimtom and it does not seem to charge, I used it fortnight before. Amazon has lots of crappy Chinese battery packs - I slept 4 hours with humidifier.

Just recently we had a 24-hour storm and no power, fortunately I had a cheap, crappy power pack, but now I am in a need for a Generator and a power bank for CPAP. Any ideas which one is the most cost effective. (battery), I think I can get a generator at Costco (that no online vendor can beat).

Yesterday I went to bed around 1am and resmed only started measuring my sleep around 4am and measured 2 hours only, until 6am when I got up. I had a few other times when this happed. Also my machine gets water in its hose at times.

I have not received but some reportedly got a new Respironics 2!
