RE: Details Matter
Opal Rose's experience was not unique. I recently accompanied a friend to his DME to pick up his "new" Resmed Autoset. The tech was surprised when I checked the run time and determined it had over 100 hrs on it. He explained that they sometimes get them back from patients who quit using them and that it was not a significant number of hours.. I insisted on a new machine for my friend and they grudgingly complied.

RE: Details Matter
Wow! I never even thought about checking hours when I picked up mine. I just assumed it was new!
RE: Details Matter
new or old, same difference which is an oxymoron IMO as it's either same or different

Jaswilliams - I requested a change to one of the masks with the hose coming off the top because I thought it would be more comfortable. As a mostly side and stomach sleeper, my nose hose always seemed in the way. I also found myself tangled in the hose as I rolled from side to side. I'm a bit of a restless sleeper and I had read that this mask was designed for my kind of sleep habits. I felt a little more comfortable trying it knowing that if all else fails, I can always go back to my old dependable mask. I'm in trial and error phase right now. I haven't written it off yet.

Donna:
If you want to get the hose out of the way look on Amazon for '' CPAP hose holder ''. Not expensive & made a big difference for me.
( or you can do it yourself )
