Hi, are you using a CPAP or a BiPAP device for your treatment?

My husband uses the ResMed air sense 11 with an airfit n20 cushion. It works really well for him. Does yours help?

My Sleep Apnea is not rated as severe by Mayo.

With the recent scandal involving the Philips company, it makes me wonder, as it should: most companies, even those not in health care, are not going to risk having their stock go down just because of one complaint by one customer.

However, the news about what the Philips company did is horrible. What about the company that manufactures ResMed CPAP machines? I have one. Do I really want to know how good their product is? I've been using it for over 1.5 years. 😀

I'm bringing it in again to the Mayo Store on the 17th floor of Gonda. I had been told that if I'm still having "trouble" with the machine, they want to see it again, and then they'll probably return it to the manufacturer (in Singapore?). In the mean time, Mayo wants to loan me
a sanitized temporary CPAP machine. I'm still not sure if I want to be loaned one, but Mayo can't tell me yet how long my machine will be at the manufacturer's getting examined/repaired.

Has anyone else had this problem? Have you used a temporary loaner ResMed machine that other patients have previously used? 😀
