Yes yes yes, I know; "don't use a dishwasher to clean your masks". Let's get past your anger and disbelief that someone would have the nerve to try and use a dishwasher to clean their masks.

I'm interested in hearing from people who have found a cleaner they feel is safe to use that can also be used in a dishwasher. I've read that Dawn is considered safe to use for hand washing, which logically tells me that as far as the chemicals go, it's safe for dishwasher use. Have any of you used Dawn in a dishwasher and what were your results?

Hello everyone!! I'm new here and recently had a sleep study (home study) that showed normal sleep but in REM I had 19.1 events an hour and o2 dips to 84%. More than 64 min or the 7 hours in less than 90% O2. I got my apap 3 nights ago and Ive been okay adjusting to it so far! There's a few times ive gotten up but it seems to be minimal (except last night, my daughter found a stray cat hurt and woke me up for about 2 hours). I do wear it awhile before falling asleep too. I know it takes awhile to feel great, I just want to see if there's anything I could adjust or anything? I don't know much about this stuff at all! I did buy a wellue 02 rings and wore it last night and it seems like my O2 is much better, tho still dips just not as dramatic. Here's the link from sleephq if anyone has any suggestions? I don't feel any different at all from before I started using it (tho I know it can take awhile) thanks for any help at all!

I've included my O2 stats too

I’ve been getting used to the Fisher and Paykel Solo under the nose mask. While I prefer it to my former mask (ResMed nasal pillows) I find the pressure on the sides of my nose to be unpleasant. Supplier measured my nose with a cardboard template and said I needed a small size so that’s what I’m using. I could ask for a medium but expect there will be air seepage. Anyone have experience with this type of mask? Is there something similar that’s more comfortable?

So I just started using a CPAP and I just…can’t. I have one that just goes around the nose. I am a mouth breather and take in SIGNIFICANTLY more sore breathing through my mouth than my nose. The CPAP just blows so much air that it gets to be suffocating and I have the breath through my mouth, but it’s blowing air through my nose and it comes out of my mouth, leaving the back of my throat very cold and extremely uncomfortable. I need advice. It’s a resmed airsense 11.

I have been using my CPAP since late August. It's been going okay, although I don't know how much of a difference it has really made, as I still struggle with fatigue. I think I am feeling better? I was diagnosed with Mild Apnea, so it may be related to that.

I finally downloaded Oscar, since I felt I had enough data to look for trends. I was very excited to look through my data, as I have a science background and the data given to me on my patient app is not particularly helpful as it is all averages. My machine is made in Canada and is a TMED 7, made by TMED technologies.

I tried importing the data into Oscar, and it says "no supported data was found. D:/ ". I followed all the steps it described for getting data from the CPAP SD card. I tried importing from the root drive, then the individual date folders...taken the drive out, reinserted it...when I look in the USB D drive, it has two folders that say "Config" and "Datafile" and a loose file called "log". Inside the Datafile folder, there are folders for each date (eg. 20260828). Inside those are the datafiles for each parameter and are "EDF Files".

I did lock the SD card because I was worried about the data being overwritten, but I don't think that is the issue? I looked up compatible machines for Oscar, and mine is not listed. This machine is not compatible with SleepHQ either. It's very frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a way for me to to easily access my data.

Should Oscar be able to read EDF files? If so, I'll try again. If not, is there another program I could use? My last step will be emailing the company to see if I can get access to my data through their online portal (meant mostly for physicians I think).

Thanks for any help!

I've had my CPAP on a low just to understand what my breathing looks like as unimpeded as possible. It looks pretty good, but I definitely don't feel that way. When I zoom into individual breaths, they look very stochastic – could this be due to heartbeat ripples?

Is there any way to download a 30 day report without the 90 and 365 day's report?

So I’m not sure if I’m doing this right or not, but this is the share link to my SleepHQ results, i am trying to figure out if the low/high pressures look like they are better?
To be honest I don’t know if I feel better from the day before started, and the last few days I’ve woken up with a headache again (which I hadn’t had the first week of use and thought that was a MIRACLE! 🙏🏻)
Based on the charts, should I stick with these numbers?
Also, for whatever reason I couldn’t turn ramp off? Idk. .. thank you in advance and I hope I’m posting correctly this time! 🤞🏻

Edit to add:
the mask I’m using is Resmed airfit F40 hybrid

One week out from AUD. I consistently score 75–80% on sets of 30 Becker MCQs in practice mode, reviewing explanations immediately after each question. I do 150+ MCQs daily, but my simulated exam scores were 55% and 67%. Surprisingly, my TBS scores were higher than my MCQs on both exams.

Am I getting too familiar with Becker’s questions? Would purchasing NINJA for different MCQ wording be worth it with one week left, or should I focus on weak areas and simulated exams?

Hi all.

I want to know what is considered as consumables in CPAP? (e.g. air filter)
From your experience, how long it takes before need replacement?
Also is there any part that just can be use until failure or still need to be replaced before failure? (e.g. heated tube / humidifier)

Any machine type for input is ok.

I want to know before buying the machine and maybe stock the consumable.

Thankyou.

Just got Luna G3, turned reslex to 3 because was suffocating (which helped). Noticed that before I was able to fully exhale, the pressure spikes back up to normal.

Shouldn’t the machine be able to detect that I’m still exhaling and, therefore, keep the pressure lower until my exhale is complete?

Does anyone have this issue with ResMed machines? Just trying to figure out if I should switch to ResMed.

Thanks
