I'm no CPAP authority or expert, but I have heard enough by now to know the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet is at the top of the food chain.

This project was done at the beginning of the pandemic to explore the feasibility of using existing CPAP machines as ventilators. Once you have more than 20 posts and are a Preferred Member you can view threads on this subject in the COVID-19 forum. Since other solutions have been found for ventilators this project has been dropped by the Airbreak developers. My friend on a discord group hacked his very recently and said he could help. So I assume it's still possible to hack ?

A slightly used VAUTO is 799 from Supplier #2. I have bought 2 used machines from them. (one for myself and one for my son). Mine had less than a month and his had less than one week. These machines are warranted for 1 year. That is about the same as you will pay for an autoset new.

I know a seller here in the UK who is offering £140 for a used Air sense 10 auto, 5000 hours of use. Reliable seller for 10+ years. If I bought that and hacked it into a BiPaP, i would essentially be getting a bipap for very cheap?

I don't know about the hack. The VAUTO has pressure support up to 25 with .2 increase. I would not think that the hack would achieve that. And once it is hacked there would be no warranty.

It's not just him too it's a few of them. He said the Phillip's one can't be hacked into bipap tho only resmed.

They said to me that i can buy PAP from them without prescription as I'm not in the US so not bound by that law. Can I sell them my PAP? How much do you think I would get for a dreamstation auto CPAP machine that has been used for 80 hours ?

The best way is to ask them. The worst that can happen is they say, "No".

If you are referring to a news item a few months back, that was just a proof of concept and is not fully functional. Do you have any info on how to convert the dreamstation apap to bilevel? |
