Has anyone tried this RESMED product? Is it useful? Where to buy and how much does it cost for a bundle?
Plus one 10char
CPAP machines and masks require a doctor's prescription to purchase, so he'll need a sleep study performed before he can buy one.
Have the clinic refer your dad to the specialist for a sleep study. From there, they can best advise on his options.
They are also significantly overpriced in Singapore. I bought a new ResMed S9 AutoSet from secondwindcpap, and it was about 35% cheaper than buying locally. You could save even more if you're willing to buy a used unit.
While I do sleep better with it, it does take some getting used to, and not everyone can accept it. There are nights where I can't sleep with my mask on, but having a night of poor sleep was still better than no sleep.
The main complaint that I have, is that it is quite bulky and not travel friendly.
Thanks for the headsup dreant. I've been wanting to buy one for myself, but the local price compared to prices in other countries have put me off. Looking at importing. One question though- do you have to get a transformer, since the voltage is different here?

Hello! I was travelling in Singapore last month and got into a similar situation. After doing some research online, I went to a vendor near Mount Elizabeth Hospital of Orchard Road. This vendor is different from the other vendors that I can find online because they are more clinical. They provide advises and consultation on how to use the CPAP machine, the ways to maintain it and more. This vendor also gives me an impression that they are not hard selling their CPAP machines. You can visit their website by googling sleep easy centre.
Cheers!
May I recommend thecpapshop, just do a quick google and u will find them.
I was quoted by a local vendor, the mask for $330 and the RESmed S9 for $2400.
Going to thecpapshop, i shipped with gst, it amounted to $1250+
I do need to email them a scanned copy of my sleep study report, which I went to CGH to do.
After using the CPAP, my gf can sleep properly, and I do not feel lethargic in the day. Quality of life has improved greatly and I am more motivated now to start exercising.
Hope all friends out there who are suffering from OSA or know friends or loved ones who are snoring every night, to give CPAP treatment consideration.
Sleep tight!
I am looking to get a CPAP machine after sleep study recommendation. As I understand that online is much cheaper than the selling price in Singapore, I would like to know on how do you resolve the warranty and servicing issue.
Would the shop carrying a particular brand be willing to service the products that you bought online as well as honoring the warranty?
Any feedback on how to resolve this?
thanks a lot in advance!
Thanks Dreant!
do you know on which machines are better? Resmed or Respironics? Any reason on why do you go with Resmed?
Thanks again for your advice!
Hi all,
I highly recommend the Philips Respironics System One Auto CPAP Machine.
You would not need to adjust the pressure plus, there is an option to add a humidifier which work wonders for me as I used to wake up with a dry mouth and start coughing.
Not any more.
Really easy to use and whenever I do my visit to the doctor, just bring the memory card along.
Highly recommend this set. Have a pleasant night sleep ahead.
Any alternatives besides RESMED?
Don't like RESMED cos they only carry 1 brand and it will "discontinued". Can't even service the spoilt parts. Kinda fishy to me. Then persuade you to buy another "newer better (but not cheaper)" brand
