I have the same problem but with the Ultra Mirage Full Face & the Mirage Liberty. The Liberty is more comfortable and my leaks are better than the Ultra, but my AHI are around 15. When I use the Ultra my AHI is .6 to 1.4. Not sure why. Feel like crap the next morning with both.

My numbers are scary high and I don't know why. The only difference is that I went from the Ultra Mirage Full Face to the Mirage Liberty. I couldn't use the full face any longer as it was making the bridge of my nose raw & infected. The Liberty is great. It is extremely comfortable and quiet. The on...

Thanks all. I'll do some tweak'n with the lower pressures as suggested. How would changing the EPR to 1 change anything? Would it be because the pressure is more of a constant in the mask itself, therefore the machine won't work so hard going up & down with pressures. Maybe? Thanks again. This forum...

My settings are: Min Pressure: 6 Max Pressure: 15 Ramp Time: 15 min Start Pressure: 4 EPR setting: 3 (fulltime) My pressure from the sleep study was 11. So my family Dr set the script at 7-15. I tend to be a back sleeper, trying to stay on my side but I have no control once asleep. No meds or OTC pi...

I've been on apap now for a week and only started charting the efficiancy data. I'm curious is to why the machine doesn't eliminate all apneas/hypopneas one has during the night. I understand nothing is 100% perfect, but the amount of episodes that it doesn't help or fix seems high. I am just a newb...

Thanks Slinky for the definitions. I had a pretty good night last night. I kept the mask on all night so I guess thats a plus. My readings for last night were as follows: PRESS = 10.0 , LEAK = .06 , AHI = 9.6 , AI = 2.1 , HI = 7.5.

I didn't know about the efficacy mode until you just mentioned it. It says NO DATA for the day, but for the week it reads as follows: Leak = .16, AHI = 3.9, AI =.4, HI = 3.3. I must admit I have no idea what any of these mean. I guess I need to start doing some homework on this. I have the EPR at 2 ...

I just started treatment on 12-10-08 and it is definitely not fun. They gave me the ResMed S8 Autoset ll because my doctor just put on the script 8-15 for my pressure. The place I got the machine from put the minimum # at 4 and the high at 15. I understand what the machine is suppose to do, but I th...
