What ASV machine should I get? - Nyre - 03-16-2015

Tonight I go for another sleep study to be titrated on an ASV machine and I'm wondering what machine I should ask my Dr to prescribe?

The ASV is a Cadillac machine. Both the Phillips Respironics and the ResMed are good machines.

Thank you for the response.

Hi Nyre,

Good luck to you at your ASV titration.
Resmed and Respironics are comperable machines.
Hang in there for more suggestions and much success to you.

I started on the Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV 2 weeks ago and have had great results with it. I have not had a problem at all adjusting to the ASV.

Welcome to the forum Nyre.

Both the Resmed and Philips Respironics are good machines, but have a very different "feel". Some people love one and hate the other, so try them both if possible, over a week or so each. The PR is more tweakable while the Resmed does a lot more in software and has limited manual adjustments.

FWIW I have the Resmed S9 VPAP Adapt and love it. I couldn't adapt to the PR machine.

I just got the ResMed Aircurve 10 ASV. So far its been great. I've found it easy to get used to, but I've been on cpap for the past 5 years. The machine I had prior was a respirionics. I like the ResMed better....... That's my 2 cents.
