Hi Margaret, Do you calibrate your Newport whenever you make any changes to your system such as changing circuits? Have you tried calibrating it when it gets stuck? Just a thought.
I also use a vent (Newport) mostly for sleeping paid by Medicare. At the time I asked for a back up vent (several years ago) I was told Medicare would not pay for a back up vent. They said if my vent fails I should go to the nearest hospital. That was there rule!?! But if I required one for daytime use, Medicare would ok another vent for my wheelchair. So, my doc wrote a script saying I needed a vent for my chair. Medicare then ok'd it no problem. Sometimes you just have to play by their rules. One thing though, the second vent had to be cheaper than the Newport so I got a PLV-100.
