Remstar Cpap Machine

An Excellent Choice For Treatment of Your Sleep Apnea

First and foremost, you should understand the accessibility of the REMstar Cpap Machine - or any cpap machine for that matter - depends on whether or not you have a prescription for one. Unlike regular humidifier machines, one size does not fit all! Since respironics Cpap machines are adjusted to fit individual needs (pressure) and treat a sleep disorder like obstructive breathing, snoring, sleep deprivation, apnea, insomnia. You can't simply walk into a medical center and purchase one. A REMstar Auto C-Flex CPAP Machine, for example, must be set to two pressures dictated by your doctor: a high pressure and low pressure.

This REMstar cpap system starts working at its low pressure setting (determined by your doctor) and then increases that pressure during sleep - when it senses a bout of apnea. After a while, the REMstar cpap system will decrease its pressure back to its original setting - and the respironics system will continue to act this way throughout the night. During all of this self-adjusting, the respironics system seemingly trains itself to work according to your specific case of apnea.

The mask that you wear for this treatment may need to be adjusted for proper fitting and usage with a new respironics machine, should you choose to continue using a mask that you've used with other machines. A mask may be exchanged with different respironics machines, however other tools may not. For example unlike a mask, filters need to be replaced on a regular basis and you really should get new humidifier tubing every month to three months. To preserve your machines and equipment, you can clean your mask and humidifier filters by rinsing them and then air drying them every other week. However to prevent illness from bacteria growth, humidifier filters, humidifier tubing, and even water chambers must be replaced.

You should also be aware that your pharmacist may not bill your insurance company for your system. This does not mean however, that you can't get reimbursed for this cure. It simply means that you may have to do a little paper work to handle its finances.
