I will get some more data for you all. I have to buy the connector cables so I can get my machine to talk with Sleepyhead. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone: I recently got switched from a standard CPAP to an auto Bi-Pap machine. My settings are min 12cm H2O, max 25, with a pressure support of 5cm. Right now my AHI is still well up into the 20's on some nights. Wondering if there is any kind of adjustment I can make to get my AHI a little l...

Greetin's y'all. So I got my new Auto BiPap machine now... And I've been with it a week so far. Tried three different FFM's that I have, but they all wind up leaking in the middle of the night or towards morning. And tugging & snugging on the straps doesn't seem to help. Has anyone had experience wi...

Cool. Thanks for your input palerider!!

Thanks Pugsy!!

So, I have this new BiPap auto machine... My sleep study indicated that 21/17 cmH2O was the optimal setting for me. So I have three primary settings, Epap, Ipap, and PS on my new machine. From what I have reesarched, these translate to Low limit, high limit, and sliding window, respectively. SO I se...

I had been thinking everything was hunkey-dorey for the last ten years or so... But my wife started complaining about me moving my legs around so much it was like I was running a marathon in my sleep. So I went to the sleep doc. We speculated on some stuff. I said, "Hey, the last time I had a polyso...

I had a laser-assisted UPPP back in 04. The surgery itself was painless, but the week after was horrible. It was difficult to eat anything and I was living on throat spray and cold green jello. Did it help with my sleep apnea? No. None whatsoever. I had another polysomnograph done after the procedur...

My old ResMed machine had a constant speed fan inside of it. So it made a nice natural white noise that helped me get to sleep every night. I was almost dependent on it. The new machine, [Apex XT Fit] like most new machines on the market today, is miniaturized so much that the squirrel-cage fan insi...

You got it, Big Dave.

My trusty ResMed S6 finally started to wear out on me as the bearings went bad. So my new primary machine is the Apex XT Fit. I will not get up on a soap box about the big three manufacturers at this point. But I will tell you all that so far the XT Fit is functioning just fine, and I will report ho...

clueless, and rude,to the very end.

Agreed.

I know what the OP means. My original machine is a 15 year old Respironics Aria LX. It's noisy but apparently has more inertia to the blower rotor because it's pretty much steady pitch. The System One 250 that I replaced it with is set for constant pressure but the audible pitch varies up and down ...

Really???

10 years of use at 7.67 hours per night does equal 28,000 hours.

Yes it does. Do the math. I have the reading on the hour meter to prove it.
