If you use tap water, dumping water and replacing every night will reduce the crystalline buildup. Then you won't have to use the vinegar as often to clean the crystallized deposits.

If using distilled, you shouldn't need to dump, except to clean.

There's arousals...there's duration of events...there's oxygen level. Lord knows what my oxygen level might have been if I had actually stayed in REM for a prolonged period of time. Since you have all the data now on the events, have you done any Oxygen monitoring with some some of the units that w...

USA or some other area of the world. European and Asian hotels use your room card to keep the power on. Sounds like some kind of power interruption. Bad connection in plugin to wall socket etc.... I have stayed in hotels where the outlets were badly worn and you had to wiggle the cord just so to get...

Ok, back with more data, here are 2 nights, one with 6/8 apap and the other with cpap of 6 and EPR of 2. Goal was to try and trigger some apnea's and obstructive events and see if we can quantify my OSA without having done a formal sleep study. Can we conclude that my OSA is quite mild? Our earlier ...

Thanks all, dear wife is finding the transition to cpap very frustrating. It took 4 nights to finally get more than 1 hour of data. I expect that we will file this away and return to normal programming for her, while I will get the machine back to my side of the bed and focus on continuing to improv...

My wife has had sleep problems (getting to sleep) for a long time and finally last night she got 6 hours on a Airsense 10 Auto with P10 nasal mask. She has taken sleep meds but is off them now. No sleep study has been done for her. Midway through the night she took the mask off and put it back on, b...

I have not heard of any of the older Airsense 10's being updated. In theory Resmed could do it if the Memory chip in the older units have the Capacity for the extra Algorithm. Mine is the AutoSet (37028) which is the same unit that has the later firmware. It doesn't appear that the same flashing ne...

Do the older Airsense 10's update to the latest firmware over the cell connections? If not, can they be manually updated?

what matters is "do you feel better using the machine than you did without it?" Yes, and we can easily confirm that by going off cpap for a few days. I should start feeling lousy again. My wife has had sleep problems longer than I but was taking a sleeping pill. Now she is almost off the med, and I...

Remember I said that 4 cm offers some therapy value. Looks like you aren't having a truckload of apnea events event at 5 cm (where you pretty much maxed out the pressure which tells you the machine was fighting something). Is your lack of AHI because of the therapy that 4 or 5 cm offers or because ...

Here is the rest of the night, after changing unit to apap and min of 4 and max of 5? There was a 2 hour nap last evening that made me not ready to head to bed until very late. Very confusing results again?? Why no crazy high AHI??? Should we do another full night that has a more normal sleep patter...

But you could try the 4 min and 4 max thing and see how it goes. Just be aware it isn't ideal for a baseline to go on because even 4 cm does some work but it's the best option you have since the machine won't go any lower. Here is an attempt to determine my baseline by setting the Resmet 10 Airsens...

You would have to understand that I am the Queen of Cheap. I used some blue painters tape I had left over from painting my mom's kitchen. Ok, here is some more data with a taped mouth using the P10 pillows. Painters tape wasn't sticky enough, I had to use Duck Tape. First one is very good, and the ...

Why do you feel that they need to be "totally conquered"? Are the leaks and mouth breathing waking you up often? 22 minutes of large leak out of nearly 8 hours of sleep (4.66% X 480 minutes) isn't the end of the world if you are sleeping soundly and feeling decent. It's not a real pretty leak line ...

what's a P20?

Sorry, P10
