[Equipment] Resmed machine vs Luna II

[hamlinsw]

My wife and I both had the recalled Phillips machine.  No replacement, yet.  I have an AirSense 11 and love it.  My wife had the Luna or wait option and selected the Luna II.  Some nights it has had a loud buzzing sound (not related to rainout), but it's not consistent.  If it continues, we will end up returning it.  Also, it is larger and heavier.  She had rainout with the humidity setting on 3.  As for the features, they are pretty consistent with the Resmed, but not having OSCAR import available is a bummer.  I'll post more, if we learn what causes the noise, and how to remedy it.  Good luck.

After using a CPAP for 18+ years under the benign neglect* of my PCP, I had to get a new sleep test so that Medicare would cover new supplies. I've been very happy with a Resmed S9. But it's no longer under warranty, so the new sleep Dr. and I worked out that I'd get another Resmed--I was expecting a Airsense 10. At the appointment, they put a Luna II on the desk. I was confused; I'd never heard of the brand, so I told them I didn't know anything about the brand, and that I couldn't take it until I'd done research on the machine. I asked if it had remote access and was told that the manufacturer hadn't upgraded it yet.

They told me this model was all that was available since the recall had created demand across all brands. I told them that Dr. [name] had promised me I'd be getting a Resmed. They said they didn't know who Dr.[name] was. Lol, his office is 2 doors down in the same practice space, using the same waiting room and receptionist. I asked when I could get a Resmed. July, maybe. I said that I was happy to continue using my S9 until July, and he called up the chain and said there was a Resmed "in the safe" that he could give me. To my surprise, it was a spanking new Airsense 11.

I've never been so happy to be a squeaky wheel. The Luna II is very heavy (but sturdy!), and I travel a lot.

*Benign neglect= asking me once a year if I'm using it at least 4 hours a night, and prescribing supplies.

Many years ago, I made a "sock" of sorts out of a cheap, like microfiber, blanket cut and sewn, then slide your tubing down through and rainout is gone. Who needs heated tubing when you have insulation?

Hi I have their machine. Please tell what app you use with it

[robertiv]

The windows software that displays Luna II sleep data is called ReSmart. Just do a search from your windows device. My sleep practitioner said she really liked the reports because they are "really easy to read."

Hi unfortunately I don’t have windows.  I’m all apple.  Thanks for update

[hamlinsw]

Same here.  RESmart.

[commercial DME link removed.  Instead search google for "downloads ukcpap"]

I’m not aware of any other software for the Luna II.

You can download the newer version of the RESmart software free-of-charge here:

That's the newer RESmart version 3.6.1.0000 version.

The one from the DME referenced above is the much older RESmart 1.07.39 version

Have you found out how to stop the noise? I have a brand new Luna II, and it starts humming after a few hours.  I'm at my wit's end.

[Crimson Nape]

Is it the CPAP or the power supply that is humming? Have you tried placing the "hummer" on a piece of foam or a folded hand or bath towel to reduce the noise?
