Re: AirCurve 11s are in But
So the question is when did the air sense 11 come out and how similar is it to the AirCurve 11? It is my understanding that, just like the 10 series, the 11 series' distinction is the firmware only. Same exact computer hardware, motor, heater, plastic case... the only difference is what is flashed ...

Re: Kind of scared, split sleep study again after almost 20 years on PAP
My goal with this new sleep center honestly is to work on all the other “Not Sleep Apnea” sleep issues I still have, and while I’m at it, a script and order for a new machine [maybe an AirCurve 11, let me know if this is a bad idea, seams like I should just get a brand new Air Curve 10 as the 11 do...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But
No, I'm coming from the S9. When the guy at Lincare said you can't trade down to an AirCurve 10 if you don't like the AirCurve 11. Well if the 11 doesn't work right, either it gets fixed or another 11 replaces it. S9 a great machine. Same motor as the AS10. As far as the heated tube, which I think ...

Re: Unable to fall asleep with CPAP
The problem is when I start falling asleep I always "jerk awake" again. Sometimes (about 50%) it's with actual hypnogogic jerks, leg or arm. The other times it's like my heart jumps up my throat followed by adrenaline. I do not get either when not using the machine. It's so bad that when it happens...

Re: UARS? Please take a look at these Sleepyhead screenshots
Hello, I'm actually diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I guess I have UARS. because my AHI is always below 5. even without a BIPAP device. I currently sleep with a BIPAP pressure of 17/12 mbar, and unfortunately I still don't sleep very well. I'm still tired during the day... does the airflow in Sleep...

Re: Woke Up Gasping
Thanks all, The old unit is the Aircurve 10s with last best settings of CM=11 PS=9. Good to know concerning rehabbing the old unit with a new motor. That's some insane pumping... I can't see any way to get that kind of response out of an APAP limited to EPR3. I have an Aircurve 10 vAuto but I only ...

Re: Resmed 11 humidity pot runs out of water

I just noticed, looking at these pics, that there are two notches in the hinge line of the tub... this prevents the extra 55ml I'm sure... an...

Re: OSCAR missing data?
Check your machine's time... available in Clinical Menu. Resmed days start and stop at noon, perhaps that's what's getting you. Without a screenshot that's all I've got... SleepHQ is better for sharing nights, just post a Share link... and it's free.

Re: Resmed Airsense 10 tank does not hold enough water! How do I get rid of the smell?
Thank you for the info I will have to see if I can do that some how. Another question, how tight should my mask be? I feel if its too loose air gets out the top and blows into my eyes and then out the bottom when i breathe. So I generally have to tighten a fair amount in order to make sure it stays...

Re: Centrals?
Hold your breath for 15 seconds....that's essentially a 15 second central apnea...the airway is open but no air is moving but that's because you aren't even trying to breathe. But I wasn't holding my breath... believe me, I know how to breathe normally when laying in bed awake on CPAP. I induced CA...

Re: Woke Up Gasping
Yes, the gap is when I took off the mask to catch my breath. Not a great feeling for sure. The move to a Resmed 11 APAP from the 10 BiPap is the outcome with yet another sleep study, new Doc and her insistence that I needed an Auto machine and could not justify a Bi-Pap cost because the study showe...

Re: Important Jason/AXG video
The below video argues that the Resmed EPR causes a higher pressure when used. I want the best results at the lowest pressure. Keeping my fingers crossed. https://youtu.be/GaXA0ZIWj1Y I believe Nick says the exact opposite... if you have EPR turned on your effective support pressure is *lessened*.....
