As stated in other reviews, there is a 5 second delay from the time feet hit the mat till the time the alarm actually goes off. Fortunately for me, I haven't actually had any incidents regarding my dad yet. You know, even with the delay, I will take this mat any day over having nothing!"

In between needing to reapply the gel, after each session with the pads I simply put a few drops of water on the electrode pad backing sheet, then set the pads in place and put them in the ziplock bag."
"It will leave a ton of sticky residue on your skin when you take off the electrode. Then after a couple of days it will be set and won't leave much of a residue on your skin when you remove the electrode. I highly recommend it to those who want to continue to use an electrode(s) that otherwise works fine except it lost it's stickiness."
"I would suggest ordering a package of extra electrodes since the ones supplied will need replacing after several uses...besides..they're inexpensive !"

"The shears are comfortable to hold, stay closed when not in use, and easily cut surgical dressings, paper, cardboard, plastic, and virtually anything else I’ve tried them on."
"After I bought this pair my co-worker pulled out his new pair that is heavier duty and is like a leather man tool."
"I don't like lugging around equipment too big in my pockets, so I knew I could make it work with the carabiner. Although they are on the larger size, I can slip them into my pocket and let the carabiner clip on the edge. Still sharp, clip is holding up perfectly, and thanks to the clip, they never disappear too far from my pocket."
"The carabiner clip has a smooth open/close action, and it doesn't feel like the pin securing it will get gummed up over time preventing it from opening and closing easily."
"They are a little uncomfortable to use, in my opinion and feel kind of cheap BUT for a five-ten minute dressing change or simply cutting a piece of clothing, they are worth the buy."

All in all I would recommend this to anybody curious, who struggles with ongoing muscle pain and weakness or spasms, and will be reordering pads soon (I find I get about a week or so of good uses out of each)."

I wonder how many of those people understand that cardiology stethoscopes are for advanced medical specialist that truly may need a little more acoustics, and have the proper training and technique to really use and understand what the medical tool is providing. This classic 3 has more than enough acoustics for most nurses and specialist in the medical field. Let me assure you that a well trained professional with good technique and training will do a lot better in terms of diagnosis with a Classic 3 than a person that just relies on having an expensive stethoscope (in other words a professional poser)."

It took less than 5 minutes to put together, 6 screws and 2 bolts with one screw you remove and replace with a shorter screw. The directions have an assembly diagram showing you putting in the 6 screws and 2 bolts, just like any other directions kind of showing you how it all fits together before starting with the directions. HOWEVER in this case because it is so simple the diagram is your instructions, then when it says STEP ONE, you really are on step 3, you must put the thing together by the diagram (6 screws and 2 bolts with a washer for the 2 bolts) BEFORE you go to step one, which is removing the retaining screw and then inserting a short screw so that the stand can raise and lower."
"So you might look at this table and think that it's a hospital table and yes, that is where you probably have seen a table like this. First a little about the table. One thing that makes this table different than other lapdesk type tables is that it is very narrow. The table has four wheels that all lock so that the table is secured and won't roll. I have not found the table to lean or tilt even when everything is sitting on the end of the table."

I get so much relief that hours later I'm still pleased that my pain level is low to moderate. When I use this on my neck or lower back and I walk or stretch very slightly... my spine will pop which means that trapped bursa is released and relief floods through my whole body and I get relaxation that I never can get without the unit.

Activated oxygen. SoClean uses the same safe and proven sanitizing and disinfecting process found in water purification, produce handling, hotel housekeeping and hospital sanitizing. EASY TO USE: Sanitizes all CPAP equipment, including water in the reservoir, without removing the mask, hose or reservoir.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I am very pleased with my SoClean 2 CPAP Cleaner/Sanitizer. The SoClean does a great job at sanitizing my CPAP tank, hose and mask/cushion/headgear, but it does NOT clean off the perspiration and skin oils that accumulate on the cushion/mask/headgear. To see what I've learned about using the SoClean2 with my CPAP equipment please read on... WHAT IS THIS SOCLEAN 2 THING? If don't know what the SoClean 2 does, here it is: It's an ozone generator and circulator. The SoClean keeps the Ozone in a closed loop and when the treatment is over uses a filter to convert ozone back to regular oxygen over a couple of hours. The SoClean 2 works by feeding ozone through an adapter that goes between your CPAP machine and hose. If you have a humidifier tank there is a hose that snakes into the tank to bubble ozone through the water (keeping it bacteria free) and then it passes through the hose and back out the mask which is inside the SoClean where the hose enters via a rubber sealed opening. A NOTE ON OZONE: According to the SoClean web site "The ozone concentration is up to 25PPM (parts per million)" when cleaning That's inside the SoClean and is circulated through the CPAP equipment. When the cleaning cycle is finished the SoClean takes 2 hours to for the filter to reduce and neutralize the Ozone to safe levels. The SoClean does NOT really "CLEAN" your equipment. The included instruction booklet (downloadable from the SoClean web site) is quite good and covers how to setup the SoClean with your CPAP machine. A nice feature if the SoClean 2 is automatic cleaning. The SoClean clock lost track of time and before I noticed I thought my SoClean was broken! The automatic cleaning schedule wasn't lost with the power, but with the clock set about 8 hours early so my mask wasn't getting cleaned when I expected. LESSON: Remember to reset the SoClean clock after a power failure to assure to your automatic cleaning cycle happens as expected. One less thing to keep on my shelf... :-). While not directly a SoClean consumable it's worth noting my mask and hoses seem to last a lot longer saving me noticeable money ( I pay full price until my insurance deductible is met). I'm very pleased with the SoClean 2 and it has noticeably and significantly improved my CPAP experience since I got it."
"Second, I HATE cleaning the mask and hoses from the CPAP, it's impossible to get to all the little grooves and ridges in them and no matter how hard you try... after several weeks they start getting that "musty" smell. wake up, pull the mask off your face, dump it into the top of the unit and close the lid (there's a notch in the side for the hose to stay connected to the CPAP itself). I had one REALLY minor issue with the adapter and contacted support via e-mail and they were back to me within a few hours and had a solution immediately. I will add a couple of things though: The SoClean does leave an odor in the hose/mask, but it's one of Ozone, not mildew, a definite improvement and one that is immediately removed by just turning on the CPAP for a few seconds before I put it on my face and let the air blow through it."
"It does have a slight ozone smell for a few seconds, but disperses quickly."
"My mask turned a brown ting after a week of use, i swapped masks and again it turns the mask brown."
"It is out of warranty and the shipping costs to send it to the manufacturer to "troubleshoot the problem" was excessive, so my husband took it apart."
