THREE WAYS TO GET MORE FROM YOUR MACHINE

Turn On Special Settings.

Most machines offer "ramping" capabilities, which give you the ability to gradually reach your pressure setting instead of starting your air flow on full blast. Additionally, "Auto On / Off" features detect when you remove your mask, and start or stop your air flow accordingly. This means you don't have to turn off your machine when you get up in the middle of the night. If you have trouble finding these settings, contact us.

 Use a Humidifier.

Humidifiers are a great way to moisten air and protect air passages from drying out. Our machines offer integrated humidifiers. When using a humidifier make sure to always empty the water chamber when you move it to avoid water damage. Using distilled water whenever possible will help prevent build up on the heating plate.

  Ensure Fresh Air Flow. Always remember to change air filters as instructed in your machine manual for your machine. Just like air or water filters in your home, filters on your machine also need to be changed. Be conscious of air enters your machine and make sure it is not obstructed or dusty. Filters should be changed each month with your tubing and insert.

Please let us know if we can help you with any questions that you may have with your machine.  We are available Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. 

  We are on Facebook--visit us there for updates on products and meet others who are CPAP users.

Inspirational Words for New Users… 

“One thing that OSA does (besides causing heart damage, triggering strokes, and causing weight gain) is mess with your mind. It can cause symptoms very much like depression. As a result, even small things can seem hard for you right now and a change like using a CPAP can seem overwhelming. Let me assure you that once you get started your brain fog will lift and you will end up being best friends with your CPAP. It becomes your new normal. Once you get your optimism back and energy returns to your body, you will be very enthusiastic about the whole thing. There is nothing that boosts your attitude more than getting a good night of sleep.”

Important Reminder To All Supply Customers Concerning Hospitalizations

If you are hospitalized and receive CPAP supplies on a regular basis, Medicare will not cover those supplies if your “billing date” is during the time that you are in the hospital.  Although we know it is a lot to ask, and you have more important things on your mind… if someone from your family could call our office to inform us, we would greatly appreciate it.  The correct course of action would be to bill the client for the supplies when we are not informed of a hospitalization.  Although this situation has occurred several times each year over the years, we have never billed any client for supplies. When you have to go into the hospital, we are probably not the first people you think of…but it would really help us if you or someone in your family could let us know.  Thank you for your continued business!
