I noticed my AC10 auto shutoff didn't work w/ the AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask when using a medium pillow but it works fine when using a large pillow.
Works fine w/ the Brevida mask w/ the M/L pillows.

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But
I would highly recommend you go with the AirCurve 10. The algorithm is the same in both machines, and the AS10/AC10 motor and electronics are well tested over many years. They changed the look of the 11 and it uses a different humidifier chamber and hoses. Have heard of problems w/ the humidifier ch...

Re: general question about flow limitations
ps - If you try this and find it is too hard to breathe initially, set min pressure to 7 instead of 6. A lot of people need a min of 7 to be comfortable but some are fine w/ 6. In case you don't know, central apneas (clear airway apneas) occur when the airway is open but the brain doesn't detect a n...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Great. Yes, that is what I wanted to see. Your waveform looks good. No flow limit problem that I can see. You are running on CPAP mode (fixed) with EPR of 3 so it won't report flow limit values, that is only done when running in APAP mode. But the shape of the waveform looks good. Your obstructions ...

Re: general question about flow limitations
You can also select Flow Limits to be charted and displayed on the right (by picking Flow Limits from the event types pick list on the bottom left) and then look and what you see. Hopefully it is mostly at 0 with a few spikes that are less than 0.5 https://i.postimg.cc/Pxd2xDX9/Flow-Limits.png And h...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Oh, no worries. Yes, move the slider on the bottom to the right and then left until it shows 3 and then your flow waveform should show nicely. Use your left and right arrows (on your keyboard) to scroll left and right till you find a typical area and take a look at the top of the inhalation curve. S...

Re: Mouth Tape?
I think you will find this silicon tape much gentler. Other tapes were too painful to take off, no problem with this.
1" by 5 yards is $9.99 on C&C. Not sure about other locations.

Re: general question about flow limitations
If you can, post an OSCAR screen capture showing your breaths in about 3 second spacing (go under events and select 3). And also your summary on the left side showing your FL numbers. Posting images here is problematic due to space so if you can post them elsewhere and link that would be great. Or e...

Re: general question about flow limitations
Flow limitations, or UARS, are partial blockages in your upper airway that are too low to be considered a hypopnea but can still affect the quality of your sleep. Something most experts agree need to be watched and accounted for when optimizing therapy. The best way seems to be by increasing the dif...

Re: Lowenstein CPAP Machine
I've been on the AC10 using custom settings for inhale time, exhale time, trigger, and cycle for years. The Prisma did feel a little strange at first but I got used to the different inhale/exhale very quickly. Due to the 1 cm inhale boost in softPAP3, I found I could lower my IPAP by 1 cm on the Pri...

Re: Lowenstein CPAP Machine
Wow, what a difference a few tweaks made on this machine. Definitely a keeper. SoftPAP3 makes this a Tri-Level machine (EPAP, EEPAP, IPAP) and the quick ramp up from EPAP to IPAP is great for keeping the airway from collapsing during the end of the exhale. That along with changing from standard to d...

Re: Lowenstein CPAP Machine
Softpap is Lowenstein's version of EPR. The Prisma 20A has up to 4cm (in Softpap3) of pressure support, depending on the pressure you are breathing at Softpap1 - PS up to 1.5 Softpap2 - PS up to 3 Softpap3 - PS up to 4 Softpap3 is also a Tri-Level in that it raises your IPAP by 1cmH2o and applies it...
