Intus' CPAP Intro Guide

[Tom @ Intus]

Hello all,

For the last few weeks we've been working on a new project, developing an Intro Guide to CPAP therapy.

As many of you know, we do private sleep studies and, from those, provide CPAP equipment for those who need it. As part of our continued efforts to further help and educate those with OSA about their condition and therapy, we've put together this guide to help get those new to CPAP up and running as quickly as possible.

We think it'll be a very useful thing for new CPAPers to have. It explains what OSA and CPAP are, how to set of their equipment, cleaning, how to monitor their progress, troubleshooting advice, the benefits of using CPAP and more.

What we'd like to do now, is have a few established CPAP users have a read of it and give us their feedback. What they like, what they don't, what we could add to make it even better.

At 20 pages it is thorough without being excessively full of information. We're looking for about five people who have been using CPAP for a good while (3 months +) and at least 30 or so forums posts for their feedback. We'll work out a thank you for your efforts as well

Send me a DM or reply to this thread and we'll get it sorted out for you! We're looking forward to finding out what you think and your feedback will have a big impact on the final version of the guide.

Thanks!

Hi Tom
I will give it a read if you like you can have a woman's opinion.

[Tom @ Intus]

Thanks Jackie that'd be great! Yours is in the post and should be with you tomorrow

Still two or three more to give out to anybody interested, it'd be great to have some more real-world feedback from CPAP users and we'll give you a little something as a thank you!

Got to ask.

What is the time scale on this?

[Tom @ Intus]

We'd like to have some feedback by the end of the week ideally; the sooner we get it the sooner we can start providing them to those new to CPAP. However we feel it's more important to get it right, so there's no particular deadline.

If you'd like a copy then send me a DM and we'll get one out to you, it'd be good to hear your thoughts

[Sparticus]

Why Not!

I'll give it a go, its good to put something back into the forum

[Tom @ Intus]

Thanks Sparticus, DM incoming.

Still one, maybe two, more up for grabs - let me know if you're interested!

[Sparticus]

Have posted your request on the Facebook group as some members are on there as well, should get a few replys from them.

I would also be interested to have a look

[Tom @ Intus]

Great stuff Sparticus, thank you.

I'm hoping we can get on Facebook sooner rather than later, we've got a few pressing things to get done first (this guide and a complete overhaul of EU-PAP for starters) so hopefully early next year we'll be up and running on there - better late than never!

Thanks Silvercarper, yours is in the post (just beat the postie, phew!)

You and Sparticus should both receive your copies tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what you both think.

Hello Tom. Have been on CPAP for about 8 years now and have experienced quite a few problems. All sorted of course by reading posts on this forum. Edinburgh sleep clinic is my main port of call for reviews and supplies but if you would like me to cast an eye over this I would be more than willing. Sorry but I cannot match your number of post requirements but hope I can still be valuable to you.
