Welcome to the SG forum, Brad Boling. Its always a special pleasure to have sleep professionals join us. I'm "just" a bi-level OSA/COPD patient in mid-Michigan. I have the January 2008 release Resmed VPAP Auto (not the July release Auto 25). I'm doing well at IPAP 12, EPAP 7, PS 5 in Auto mode. Spontaneous mode and I weren't on the friendliest of terms. I use the old Respironics Simplicity simple nasal cushion or the ProBasics Zzz-Mask full face.

we welcome you and are glad to have you aboard and look forward to your comments and perceptions in the field of sleep

Thank you, Brad. And I wish MORE local DME provider's felt as you do and encouragaed their patients to become more educated about their therapy. My first local DME provider's RRT was an absolute, less than truthful disaster. Do you have any patients on the VPAP Auto or VPAP Auto 25? What brand or brands of xPAP does your company prefer to provide? Our local hospitals sleep lab staff and VNA host an apnea support group here. The A.W.A.K.E. group is dormant.

Welcome Brad
