Mary Z replied to Tom Cannon's discussion ResMed software update"I am only guessing that they are constantly updating, but the changes might just be with each new version of the machine.

Corey Stricker posted a discussionMRCA & infectious diseases
I am looking for advice regarding CPAP and infectious disease. A couple weeks ago I came down with a Staph infection, or MRCA, in my nostril. I have not used my CPAP machine since then as I have been waiting for the infection to clear up. I am concerned that the CPAP may have been the source of infection. If this is the case, I am concerned about going back to using the CPAP in fear of being re-infected. Is anyone knowledgable about MRCA and whether it can be transmitted through the tubing…See More

ZolliStar posted a discussionSoClean CPAP Sanitizing Machine
Has anyone tried this machine? If it does what it say -- fully sanitize the mask, headgear and tank -- it sounds like a real benefit and likely worth the cost.https://betterrestsolutions.com/SC1100-SoClean-CPAP-Sanitizing-Unit_p_17.htmlSee More

It involves a small camera going up the nose and then you are sent to sleep.

Henning replied to Henning's discussion Blood pressure medication and breathing."Yes, you can find links to OSA.
I think the biggest problem is that many of the side effects that can follow Enalapril, are also symptoms of OSA. Therefore, it may be difficult to separate symptoms.

Henning posted a discussionBlood pressure medication and breathing.
I have taken a smaller dose blood pressure medications (enalapril) for the last 6 years. I do not feel that this has given me side effects.But recently, I was acutely admitted to the ICU because of Edema in my throat. This can be life threatening.It turned out that I had built up an allergy to this agent, and I have, of course, switched to another medication.Enalapril is the first choice for hypertension in this country.The problem is that you can build up an allergy to this product over…See More

Sleep Apnea and screening.
I am aware that there in Sweden takes place a development and testing of a screening device for Sleep Apnea (I think this is together with some of the CPAP manufacturers, and maybe even sponsored by them). This device is not bigger than a cigarette packet, and is intended for use by the primary care physician (PCP).
As far as my information, this device is measuring on breathing, oxygen levels, and a couple of electrodes on the chest. It takes only 5 to 10 minutes to teach the… Continue

Mary Z said… - Henning, If you don't mind helping me out. I am in a position of not being able to use my CPAP for about five or six weeks, Before that I had to take 20 days off due to skin breakdown on the bridege of my nose. DId you find a boil and bite which would be helpful during this period of not being able to use my CPAP. I am really starting to feel lousy.
Thanks you,
Mary Z.
PS: I sent a friend request to discuss this with you, but if you just want to comment on your page that would be fine.
