sleep apnea

[bowj]

Who sent the letter and how did they know about your sleep apnea?

it was either my family doctor or the sleep doctor. but the sleep doctor is who had to sign off on the treatment. yes it is there ethical obligation to report you if it is untreated.

I gotta get a battery for mine. everytime we go camping now I get barely any sleep and cannot sleep in at all. not to mention everyone else around can hear me snore.
I surrender to the fact that I wont be able to use it while backpacking or portage camping, but atleast for car camping I would like to have one.


funny story, before I started carrying the CPAP when I went overnight I was staying at my moms trailer. the neighbours thought there was animals fighting behind there trailers. it was me sleeping with the windows open....

Your pressure must be insane.... my s9 ran for two nights on a 12v7ah battery... and a 60w inverter... pressure 11cm ... of course I didn't use my humidifier...

my pressure is set at 9 cfm, and yes I use the humidifier and heated hose, so there is a bit of power consumption.

you can get a back packable battery, but it's going to cost you $$$ http://www.batterypowersolutions.net/
They were over $300 went I priced them last year

Much cheaper to build your own... all you need is a battery and an inverter )for resmed) if your running a humidifier however you will need a sine wave inverter... so that will add extra cost.

Last time I checked, most just needed a 12v cord to run off a battery, if you did not use the heater on the humidifier...(or hose)

Mine is a 24 volt

i have 12 volt power plug wired to the deep cycle agm battery and then plug my 250w inverter into it and then plug my regular cpap power cord into the inverter.

An invertor is not needed. Your CPAP is a 12volt system to start with so why start with 12 volts, go through an invertor to get 120V and then reduce through that again to feed your CPAP.
For years now I run mine on a 12V deep cycle battery. All you need is and adaptor($30) from your supplier for your particular unit and then a connector with 2 alligator clips to hook to your battery. If not using humidification you can easily get 3-5 days without recharging.
I have 2 batteries and have no problems running my humidifier all night, I just recharge the battery when I can either by generator or off the solar panel system we have for lights.

Resmed systems REQUIRE a resmed 12/24 adapter if you don't want to use an inverter... it has been tried before... and the system will NOT turn on... resmed are also 24v.. it is far cheaper to purchase a 12v battery and an inverter than the adapter (100+) from my supplier...
Battery is $40 (assuming you know where to get it) and an inverter is $50.... of course it's not as efficient as you get a loss going across an inverter... but it's more economical... I get 2 days off a 12v12ah battery. . With no humidifier... I can charge it from a solar panel... or my car...

Most people already have an inverter kicking around...
And a battery.

The battery I use is 3" high 5"long and 4" wide. alot smaller than two deep cells...

I have a home auto switch system I built.. out of an old ups I find in the garbage... took the buzzer out so it makes no noise when power shuts off.. and replaced the bad battery.. (common cause of people throwing then out) I put a bigger battery in though. .
