Has anyone used this battery?
Re: DRY MOUTH
This might sound of corny, but until I get my DreamWear Full Face Mask (currently it only has a nasal mask), I'll keep using paper tape to keep my lips closed. Works like a charm. Can't get dry mouth if you're not breathing through your mouth.
Travel Tips
I am travelling to Italy next month. Will my machine work there? Or do I need something else? And how can I use it on a plane? It's a very long flight
Re: Travel Tips
Hi Barbara! Nearly all machines have a voltage range of 100-240V AC which means they are compatible both here in the US and in Europe as well (although you will need an adapter so that the prongs will fit the outlets in Europe). ResMed actually has a lot of great information on traveling with your CPAP. To view this information you can click here.
Re: Leaks, noise and sanitation issues.
I finally broke down and bought the SoClean 2. So much easier than trying to wash the hose and mask every day and I never have to worry about residual water in the hose! Worth every penny!
Re: I can't make it through the night without wanting to pull the darn thing off
Do try different masks. A lot of them offer free return if they don’t work. I tried about four before I found the one that works for me.for a long time (like a year) I only did 3 to 4 hours a night. But that’s better than nothing. Now I get 6 to 7 hours. I consider that a full night’s sleep. I feel so much better, I could never go back to sleep without the mask.
DRY MOUTH
Tried everything but still wake up with a dry mouth and it is very disturbing. Anyone have anything that worked for them?
Re: Need Help
That usually means there is something from the previous mask stuck in your tube. Both ends of your tube should be soft rubber. If there is a hard plastic piece in one end, it needs to be removed.
Re: Does AirMini use water?
The AirMini is a very small travel machine. As such, it does not have a built in humidifier. Instead, the machine uses an inline humidification system that uses the moisture generated from breathing to act as a humidifier for you. Each AirMini comes with two humidification units - the HumidX and the HumidX Plus. The HumidX Plus is meant to be used when you need more humidification than the HumidX.
Re: PLEASE HELP ME!
You might be able to get some cloth to put in between yourself and the mask. There are mask liners if you are breaking out from the cushion: click here to view. You also should consult your doctor about this. If you are having an allergic reaction to the material in the mask you will want to change as soon as possible, or at the very least discuss some options with your doctor on how to get rid of these hives
