Does this newer model provide the same full range of reports that the previous S10 model does? My doctor needs to generate printouts that I have to submit annually for job-related medical certification. I'm ready to replace my older unit, but I want to make sure I don't create any new headaches with regard to reports.
My test drive says that the seal is good but a few seconds later, it says it needs adjusting. I have done all I can to fix this but it still keeps saying the same thing when I test it. It worked fine when I was tested with it in the clinician’s office. New user FYI
Hi! If your CPAP mask seal isn't holding, try adjusting it while the machine is on- you'll hear the difference! Also, check for leaks around the mask and ensure it fits snugly but not too much. If issues persist, reach out to the retailer where you bought it for help they can adjust your machine remotely as well.
The replacement filters are different from the ones that come with the unit. No changing instructions are provided with the machine. Does the rough or smooth side of the filters face the machine at the air outlet?
Hi! For most CPAP machines, when replacing filters, the smooth side of the filter should face toward the machine (air outlet), while the rough side faces outward (air intake). However, it’s always best to double-check with the specific manual for your machine or search online for a digital manual, as filter types and placements may vary.
Hi! Most CPAP machines can be used without water, but it’s generally recommended to use water with the humidifier to prevent dryness and irritation. The humidifier helps add moisture to the air, which can make breathing more comfortable, especially in dry environments. However, if you’re okay without the added moisture or are traveling and don’t want to bring water along, you can usually run the CPAP without it and distilled water is recommended.
Same with mine. I wondered if it's because I don't have the heated tubing, just a basic transparent one. Got my machine through the VA so I'm not sure if it's a slightly different machine or what, but I'd love to be able to warm up the freezing cold air that's blasting on my mouth all night long, there's no way I can fall asleep with this cold air.
@@AlphonsoSnorkelli-dg2qb i have humidity set on automatic anf fill the chamber to brim., no rain in mask What would you do different? It isnt rocket science
Im new to cpap..this was perscibed to me...this machine is a poor design..a joke...thewaterchamber is a clamshell design..hard to fill without spilling if you are limited mobility..doesnt stay open well for filling...it should just have a screw cap to fill...imo fail 100%
I'm on my 3rd CPAP machine and this is the biggest piece of shit I've ever owned. The sleep center has set it up and made adjustments 3 times. They say the data says it's working great, but my wife says I sleep with my mouth open
Sounds like a full face mask or a chin strap may be something to think about here. Also most people open their mouths when they are congested, so that could also be a factor.
@@TheKeithHicks I had to Google it. Found some really gentle piece of material that worked. During the titration test in the sleep lab the tech made me wear something akin to duct tape! It was awful to peel off. all good now though.
I received my machine almost a month ago. Setup was easy, all the presets work for me, and the breakdown to clean is simple.
Vynikající zařízení pro zdraví každého člověka 👍
If you live in an area with power outages.. I put mine on a small UPS i bought at staples...

Try tightening the back of the head strap to keep the mask tight but not too tight.
Worked for me.

Do you have to use this with water?

I don’t have the auto option help ?
It is easy to change pressures.
When selecting My Options on my Resmed Airsense 11 it doesn't have Climate Control or Tube Settings. Only Ramp Time and Humidy Level.

How come you can’t turn this machine off unless you unplug it? Also how come the blue snowflake stays on non stop just flashing?
It's a cool down. Keeps the motor from burning up.
Humidifier warter chamber is too small, won't last 8 hrs for me
@@AlphonsoSnorkelli-dg2qb i have humidity set on automatic anf fill the chamber to brim., no rain in mask
What would you do different? It isnt rocket science
@@jimcollins8097that means that you are loosing humidity through leaks either from the mask or from your mouth if you have a nasal mask.
@@sebastiennudo7792 that's actually a good point. Thanks

Try the tape over your mouth - after a couple of weeks your mouth should maybe stay closed. Worked for me! Good luck
@billperkins3562 what kind of tape?

@@TheKeithHicks lots of varieties on Google - I used a gentle brand.
Too much vocal fry in this video. Couldn't watch.
The machine is a piece of junk. It is a dollar store cpap machine.
Needs a bit of you tube info to get things working for you
