Rider, I have no experience with CPAP machines.
I think your right.
I have fired up the genny more than once to run my CPAP, just thought with the new lithiums I could run it of the batteries and not have to make all that noise?
Midnight,
Is that the implanted device? Like a pacemaker? 😳
Yes you are correct. That is why they have you gfo to an ENT (not an EWT) to check throat structure. But they do work. IT does take a little time working with the sleep therapist to get the electric sign waves adjusted to the correct pattern. If your sleep therapist is doing all this, that could be the problem. Every time I was with my sleep therapist, a trained Inspire Technician was doing the actual adjusting and ensuring that the device was doing what it was supposed to. If your satisfied go on ya, I just know that is an awesome piece of equipment and makes sleeping much more enjoyable and with piece of mind that your heart isn't going to stop. I am a firm believer that sleep apnea is a killer. Many people die in their sleep because of heart failure and chances are they had sleep apnea.
George, Yes, its about 2" in diameter placed on your right side right below your clavicle. Little wires run up to your neck to a muscle nerve and is attached. It sends a signal every 4 sec to that muscle and it make your neck contract and keeps your throat open for breathing. There is no pain pre, during or after. I will say tho that if you forget to pause it and try to talk, you sound like a drunk, your tongue just doesn't work right. Gotten many laughs from that but I LOVE it!!
I’ll just keep my CPAP?
Sorry, you are so wrong. First there isn't enough voltage to "light you up". It is very very small charge.
