At higher pressures EPR (or PS) is needed to blow off CO2... that's why bi-level was invented, that's why bi-level machines go higher. Those clusters of H's look suspicious... verging on CA's? When you turned off EPR and went straight CPAP at almost 17cm you effectively increased your iPap by 3cm. ...

Miss Emerita wrote Sorry infrequent poster. Had typed a reply but I don't see it. Weird. Retyping a shorter reply. Thank you for your informative reply! I had not completely understood the article... oops! Sorry about the links, corrected ones are shown below that should provide access: https://sle...

Hey Zonker! Always appreciate your wisdom! I seem to be trying to fix something that ain't broke! I haven't played with my settings for a very long time so fell for the temptation, newer approach has got to be better! As you well stated, not necessarily so, we are unique individuals! Best!

Longtime user and feel like I have my therapy pretty much dialed in. AHI's are typically less than 1.0 and leak rates are very low. I read an article mentioned by Lanky Lefty which suggests that EPR is less beneficial for APAP machines (unless titrated with EPR turned on). The article can be read he...

Just wear it until the cows come home !!

Excellent!

Pugsy, I'm a dairy guy, I work with and know cows! :D retired now Yeah, I know most/all will not follow Resmed guidelines. I received good long term information from other cpap users on how long I could go with mirage quattro mask and cushions. Being a retiree, I'm looking forward to reading practic...

F40 looks interesting for those of us that are side sleepers and need a full face mask. But, yikes, the Resmed recommended replacement rate is every two weeks for the cushions ($54 each)! Major suppliers are suggesting replacement once per month. In contrast, I replace my Quattro cushions once every...

Thank you Pugsy, Vandownbytheriver, and Ozji for your assistance and guidance! Looking forward to getting some real data on the S9 with my present setup. I used it last night and had a green leak smiley while I have routinely had red leak smilies with the s10. Hard numbers are more meaningful and us...

I only have one SD card and it is loaded into my S10. I have temporarily switched back to my backup machine (S9 autoset). I want to compare leak rates between the S10 and S9. I have months of data stored on my computer from the S10 but need to record data on the S9. Questions: Do I simply insert the...

Vandownbyriver, you're my hero! :D :D Adjusting the hose up (air entry toward eyes) relieved pressure on the nose during a half hour nap! Slept like a baby. Having the hose enter from below was not a problem UNLESS there was a downward pull on the hose (could easily occur by changing position in the...

Longtime cpap user. Mirage Quattro FFM for 12+ years, Airsense 10, apap 16 to 18. Pad-a-cheek anti leak strap I've tamed the quattro very well when I can sleep on a bed. On Oscar the AHI is 1.5 or less and large leak 2.5% or less. These days I need to sleep on a lift chair as I'm recovering from pat...

And now for the rest of the story... :D Read on Amazon that someone had purchased a new climateline hose for their S9 and received an error message when installed (Humidifier failure, replace Humidifier). The customer replaced the new hose with their old hose and the error went away. I was receiving...

Thanks everyone! Worked like charm, slept like a baby for 6 hrs and the Mrs woke me up so I wouldn't sleep too long and disrupt my schedule. Thank you so much, I feel alive again after this awesome sleep. My S9 has always been a miracle box for me.

Any regular hose will work, and many people have used the heated hose reversed. (be sure and set the hose type manually on the machine). If you need a hose today, some truck stops have cpap supplies, (including hoses), since many truckers are on cpap. Hey PR, appreciate your help! I'm not sure what...

Apologies Pugsy, of course you were right! In my grogginess, I didn't see to take off the end piece that attaches to the mask. After removal, I have a tight fit on the blower unit so I'm to good to go! You're always timely and helpful Pugsy, you're the best!
