Please help with treatment review

[DaveL]

Thanks so much.
Thinking hard!

On my As10, I click the big round button, the select 'My Options' and click again. I rotate the knowb to scroll all the way down to 'About' and click again. two or three lines down is 'Run Hours' - that's the number you want.

I'm sure the procedure will be similar on a Series 9 machine.


Thanks.
I appreciate your help.
I did find out: 22,000+ hours on my machine.

S9 Run Hours:

Thanks! This was perfect!
Answer is more than 22,000 hours!

Dave,
Go to the Daily view and select the day you wish to delete. Then go to Data ⇾ Advanced → Purge Current Selected Day.  You then can import the data again.


Thanks!
Follow up: I tried; didn't work.
I got another card.
I've used it, and it works.

My machine is a survivor! 22,000 hours on it!

[DaveL]

The S9 has 2 ways of getting to the same place.
1. Press both the Info and the Setup buttons for about 5 seconds.
2. In the Clinician menu, press the Info button.

Thanks!
That's very helpful.  It took me a while but I used the Clinician Menu/Info Button route.

My machine was used when I bought it.  A friend had typical Ontario Canada diagnosis  Her sleep doctor proscribed here machine, a humidifier, and full face mask; said come back in 4 months. She never went back.  She sold me the machine, used with 2 full face masks for less than I pay for a mask. I am very lucky. 

I don't know when I assumed ownership...it ws a long time ago. I bet she had several hundred hours on it.

DaveL think you better look for a replacement machine take a look a our supplier list http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...plier-List  either supplier#2 or suppler#33 in the US are good I don’t know about Canada but allegedly in some states the Resmed 10 Autoset for her is considered a CPAP and will be funded


Thanks!
Great advice!
I expect I'll end up paying about $700 Canadian out of pocket....I do qualify for reimbursement. However, Canadian prices are so very high.

[DaveL]

Ontario is one of the places that classifies an Autoset for Her as a CPAP machine, so It can be had for a slightly lower price, at my DME at least, and without the hassle that an Autoset requires for the ADP programme..
If your DME won't sell it at the ADP approved CPAP price (approx $825), find one that will.

Thanks very much!

I'll check around.
My DME is very helpful; prices are high. (buyer beware! ;

My first 2  machines just recorded hours run. 
I found my S9E used! I *think* I didn't qualify for the ADP programme because it was within my 5 year interval.

My first machine lasted 9 years.  noisy awful beast.
My second machine I used for 3-4 years?
This machine has lasted a long time...22,100 hours

DaveL find out if your DME is registered with Ontario's Assistive Devices Program. If you have a sleep doc, they should also be registered for you to get the government assistance. If you have other health insurance, they may have less restrictive requirements for reimbursement. I am not certain, but a registered DME may be required to sell at the ADP price regardless of ADP reimbursement.
There are several PDF files on the Ministry of Health website.

Thank you!

I have HORRIBLE benefits. I'll check there first. (Grateful I have benefits at all; I lost them completely when I was 70 plus a day. I fought. Talked about wrongful dismissal and age discrimination...age discrimination still applies.)


A touch of reality just hit.  A co worker passed away in his sleep on Saturday morning.  52.  I'm very lucky! 

R.I.P. Bill Brown.  You were a good man and friend.

Clearly I'm mouth breathing when I first sleep.

I've been terribly claustrophobic with full face masks.  I've tried 10 or so; I've never made it through the night. 

So I use a self made pad under my chin.

I just upgraded OSCAR.  I'm grateful for the wonderful team that made it possible.  I'm a computer-klutz
and use an iMac.

My numbers are good.  However, I don't sleep well and don't feel rested.
