I can totally change the time on my Airsense 10;
But I choose not to. DST is stupid.
Once I retired, I no longer have to play that damn game.

Re: When to end CPAP
The AHI reported by the cpap is TREATED.
The low numbers only mean your cpap is effective.
I can see fine with my glasses--but can't see crap without them.
Same thing.

Re: Semi-OT reminder: Never leave melatonin out for the visiting grandkids to get to.
We had neighbors who lost a toddler, due to finding his mother's iron supplement. This was in the early 60's. Almost anything can be deadly. Kids are very clever at getting things open. "Child-safe" containers are little more than a challenge to a bored child. Lock and key is better; at least until ...

Re: is the myair app accurate
I would trust what you see on the machine itself.
That data is closer to the source--and MyAir is slightly suspect, IMHO.

Re: Medicare and Masks
So, "Mask of patient's choice" is no longer acceptable?
That kind of makes it harder to get started successfully.

Wi-fi requires a compatible device within a few FEET, like in McD's or at home. The hardware is very small, as is the signal strength. Linka...

Re: valves seem to close when I exhale
If you are looking at a flexible valve at the front of a full face mask, that is the ANTI-ASPHYXIA valve. It should be closed unless your machine is not running, like in a power outage. The exhaust vents always release gases while the cpap is running. They wash out carbon dioxide, which you want gon...

Re: A question to those who have successfully mouthtaped
Does Trident contain xylitol?
I hear that's why xylimelts work.
If so, Trident could be an alternative to xylimelts.
Thank you, Granny, for sharing.

Or a FLIR (infrared) camera.
My heated tubing never feels "warm" to my skin.
(Skin temperature is usually significantly lower than body temperature.)
