I have only just worked out how to take my humidifier tank apart after nearly 2 years. The brown sludge on the bottom was pretty disgusting and probably explains why the air from the pump smelled so…Continue

Resmed Airfit F20 Woes
Dear FolksI have been using the Resmed Quattro FX mask ever since I was diagnosed over 7 years ago.https://www.resmed.com/en-us/healthcare-professional/products-and-s...However this has become obsolete and the "new improved" mask I have been given is the Airfit F20. This is bulky, hurts my nose and leaks all the time. A recent email from ResMed told…See More
"Hi
All I can say is I feel your pain! I got the F20 as a replacement this year and it is very uncomfortable. I have just ordered the new Resmed F40 which is very small and light and so far it has been a lot easier to use for a mouth breather that…"
"Me too, but may be an option for those who aren't able to use CPAP. It won't work for everyone though and AHI has to be between 15-65 and BMI not higher than 32.
I'm at a conference next week where the ENT doctor mentioned in the…"

"Great news Ian and it sounds like you've not been given the 'card-to-cloud' AirSense 10 with you being able to see your data. Your S9 has served you well, so now time to friend your new machine which will continue to look after you…"
"I collected my new machine today, a Resmed Airsense 10 and I have setup an account at their web site so I can see the data from my sleep sessions. The new machine is very dinky and "senses" when I put on the mask or take it off. I was sad…"
"That's a shame to hear Iain and hopefully things are improving now more clinics are seeing the benefit of using telemonitoring. Yes, I know Sleep HQ and also Oscar to see your data, but it won't work on the S9 Escape if you have that one,…"
"I must admit I can't remember the last time I had a review or when the sleep clinic looked at the data on the SD card. I have seen a site called the SleepHQ (Aussie?) https://www.sleephq.com/ where you can upload your data?"
"Agree Ian, as I think delaying a change of machine is wise at the moment too if it "ain't broke". A lot of clinics are having to accept 'card to cloud' Resmed AirSense machines at the moment due to the shortage of chips,…"
"Thanks for the helpful reply. Scanning other OSA forums the general opinion seems to be the same. If it ain't broke don't fix it! Also the latest ResMed Airsense 11 machine (which is probably what I will get from my sleep clinic) seems to…"
"Hi Iain
Resmed are the only manufacturer that schedule that message to pop up after the machine has been used for a certain amount of time (20,000 hours I think) in the hope a new one will be given or bought. You can mention it to the clinic at…"

"hello linda
i think the feeling of not being able to breathe is tied in with the initial feelings of claustrophobia when first wearing a mask. i am not sure which model you are using? perhaps you need to experiment with the straps to make sure you…"
"hi
your gp will refer you to r local sleep clinic. they will test your pulse a o2 levels during the night. if the results indicate sleep apnea they will provide a pump and a mask. i wouldvise asking for a humidifier unit as…"

"Hi
The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"
"Yeah I was wondering about email address. I thought probably if they wanted me to mail them they would have given out an address. I can imagine heart data is considered more acute than sleep data, so it would make more sense to have that…"
"Hi.
I didn't use PatientsKnowBest (ironic name), but I have an email address for my heart department for sending in ECGs. I was just saying that they may be able to review a PDF when then cannot review a data file from your O2 ring.
I am…"
"Hi Jonathan, did you do that through PatientKnowsBest?"
"On an unrelated topic, I've been able to send ECGs by PDF to my heart clinic.

Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
Moving some furniture my long lost O2 ring continuous oxygen saturation monitor turned up. So I've been wearing it and it tells me I have loads of saturation drops during the night even though my Airsense 10 says I have very few apneas.So I get two…See More
"Hi,
Just thought I'd give an update. So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study. My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm…"
"Hi Sally from what I read the airsense doesn't suffer the same foam degredation issues as the infamous Phillips machine.I can conceive it's possible that microplastics may be shed from the flexible main tube.What worries me more about the…"
"Hi
My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"
"Hi
You don't say how technical you are, or what sort of machine you use. However https://www.sleephq.com/ has software which allows you to upload data from compatible machines, and analyse your sleep "score", including a…"
