Re: Best sleep study center
I am looking into buying a CCTV setup with a dedicated hard drive. That will work, just a bit more pricey, but may not reveal anything in the end. Be sure to compare price to the Arlo - It connects via wire to your internet but the camera is wirelss and can be placed anywhere and can be moved anywh...

Re: I am exhausted during day. Need help with OSCAR software
Also noticed you are using ramp and it seems to be set for a long time, possibly the max? How long? It's been a long time since I used ramp, iirc you have to manually press ramp? Also iirc during the ramp period the cpap doesn't respond to or record any events. fyi, That would affect your total AHI ...

Re: COVID-19 Face covering question

Re: Need a practical solution for recharging while off grid
I guess the DreamStation is much more efficient than the System One I have used a System One in the past. As mentioned when on DC do not power the humidifier. When I first started I needed the heated humidifier but learned to sleep wo the heat. I have been known to use the jump starter right at my ...

Re: Need a practical solution for recharging while off grid
I'm using a Dreamstation Auto BiPap @18/13 , while it does have a heated humidifier, always use any humidifier in passover mode when on DC. I have even added a Fisher & Paykel humidifier in line to increase the passover mode moisture. Esp if you are indoors in an air conditioned environment.

Re: Need a practical solution for recharging while off grid
jpek, I think you would do better to first focus on one problem at a time. I read a post on here some years ago about using a jump start battery for backup DC power. Since I already had one I gave it a try and have been using one for over 10 yrs now. Maybe you already have one.

Re: Using Manometer
You are one of the only posters in this thread, besides me, that is on Medicare afaik. You could direct your help to the OP but chose to join the "Derail n Bash" gang. What a disappointment.Okie bipap wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 6:23 pmHis mind is all ready made up, don't confuse him with the facts.

Re: Using Manometer
While Medicare has adjusted their requirements over the years apparently they have yet to relax the 2hr dx requirement. Someone corrected you on this further up in the thread, but you are again repeating it. For studies less than two hours, a patient qualifies for a Medicare diagnosis if: 1. There ...

Re: Using Manometer
Do let us know what you found out. ie. did your old PSG not meet some part of their new guidelines since your last PSG? This sounds so hopeful in the negative. I suspect you've been praying it did not meet new guidelines while thinking it would save face for you in the forum. :wink: BTW, Medicare h...

Re: Using Manometer
By all means do call Medicare but I believe Medicare requires 120 min. of diagnostic That's not true. I hope you haven't discouraged Blueeyes. A positive test for OSA is established if either of the following criterion using the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) or Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) are ...

Re: Using Manometer
I went to local DME here. They said since I had not had a sleep study in 18 years I had to have one before Medicare would pay. I have consistently used CPAP for 18 years. I took SD card to doctor and they said SD Card was empty so now I have to wait on sleep test. I have used software called sleepy...
