Oximeter CMS50D plus software

What is a normal leak rate and AHI rate?

Hi...I've been on CPAP since 1993 and have been tolerating it well. I recently got a new machine that keeps track of everything (Respir. m series pro). I've had it a little over one week now and it is showing a leak rate of 24L/min and my AHI average is 3.6. What is a normal or an acceptable leak ra...

Thank you all for the responses. Reading does put me to sleep quickly, usally start dosing by end of first paragraph. I have several books on tape so I'll take those, with those I can listen and walk around. Again, thanks for the input.

Two day sleep study

I'm going in for my third sleep study next week but this time I have to spend the night and all the next day. Has anyone else had to stay all day? What do they have you doing all day? They are testing me to see how tired I am during the day. How do they do that? Thanks.

Remstar 'M' series noise level

Does anyone know if the smaller size m series runs with more noise than the full size Remstars? It seems like the smaller footprint would have less insulation than the previous models.

Alpha Intrusion

Does anyone here with OSA also have the presence of 'Alpha Intrusion'? If so, how are you being treated for this? Do you see a neurologist or other type of MD? I have OSA and my CPAP is set at 10cm. I have no apparent problems using my CPAP. I still am tired throughout the day. My last sleep study s...

JustDiagnosed, Like you, I also have a deviated septum. One thing that has worked for me is Flonase nasal spray. I use saline spray throughout the day but when I lay down my nasal passages seam to swell up. I don't have any known allergies but laying down causes them to swell and restrict my breathi...

Alpha intrusion

I recently read through my sleep study report and came across something I did not understand and I hope someone might know. One of the statements was "He had no periodic limb movements, but did have alpha intrusions throughout." Does anyone know what alpha intrusions refers to? Seems to me alpha int...
