Thanks so much for the advice about buying a new motor! I got the “motor life exceeded” message and my doctor wants me to get a new sleep study. I don’t think I need one, and it’s a hassle to get one.

I ordered the motor, and will check out YouTube.

I'm wanting to buy a generator because I live in a high fire risk area and an earthquake risk area. I want to make sure that the generator can run my CPAP. From the manual, I see that the peak power is 100W. Is that with the humidifier on? That doesn't seem like a lot (one 100W light bulb), so I fig...

I ser the ramp for 10 and it goes up to 10 and hangs out there. Is there a way to tell what the pressure is while it’s in treatment mode?

Thanks so much! I guess I did panic.

Lindsay

It’s an airsense 10 autoset.

I watch the screen and it shows the pressure as it ramps up.

Min pressure 10, max is 18. 20 minute ramp.

How do I do the “factory reset thing?”
I have a Resmed Airsense 10. Instead of staying at a pressure of 10, it starts at 0 and only goes up to 4, then stops.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Lindsay

Here's the sleepyhead data for last night with the Respironics machine. As you all said, there is, indeed, leaking, but it's not reported as a "large leak." In fact, it's about the same as it was with the Resmed. I suppose it could be mouth breathing, though I do tape my mouth. The paper tape I use ...

Pugsy, first of all, my version of sleepyhead does post a leak %. It's in the list on the upper left.

Good to know about the differences in leak reporting, pugsy.

Yes, it is an AirSense 10 Autoset.

I got a new Resmed CPAP a few months ago. I've had a hell of a time with leaking since then. I didn't have that problem with the Respironics. I tape my mouth and use a nasal mask. I decided to do an experiment and go back to my Respironics with the same mask and see how much leaking there was. The R...

Thank you!

I didn’t know the user guide was so detailed and cool. Thanks for pointing me at it. Fascinating reading for CPAP geeks and former scientists who use cpaps (me).

Lindsay

Pugsy, I believe I fixed my plots and zoomed in on the area you are interested in. THis is for the night I had the nasal mask on. I'm going back to that tonight.

Further criticisms welcome.

Thanks all!

Lindsay

OKay, nasal pillows last night. Taping held all night.

This just looks like a total mess.

Sigh.

Lindsay

Yes, the tape was still stuck to my face this morning, so I highly doubt that the leaks were mouth leaks.

Lindsay

OKay, I really taped my mouth shut last night. Still getting large leaks, though not as bad. What I'm curious about in the sleepyhead data is that I had a period of lots of CSR and CA's when there was no leaking. What do y'all make of this one? Tonight I want to try my old nasal pillows, but I belie...

I'll use extra tape tonight and see what happens. There have been a few nights where there was no leaking and my AHI was < 1.

Thanks,

Lindsay

Thanks, guys.

I tape my mouth every night.
