Re: Nose Bridge Pads don't work

My pressures are high and I've never been able to seal the nose without force. A lot always depends on the shape of your face as to what you are able to do.

Nose Bridge Pads don't work

I've tried the gecko gel pad, and the Pad a cheek maximum cushion nosebridge pad, but both don't work and just cause leaks. Using an ultra mirage mask. I was able to use the bare mask a few days before it irritated the nose bridge and now I'm stuck, I can't use it at all. The only think I can use in...

Re: Encore Pro 2 Can't get more than weeks worth detailed data

With sleepyhead, I'm going to have to go through day by day and print the report to a pdf file. I guess I will have to. Resmed gives much better and more complete data than Respironics, it is a shame I had to get stuck with this machine. The hardware and build quality of the Resmed is also superior....

Re: Encore Pro 2 Can't get more than weeks worth detailed data

I don't have problems making a pdf from a print out page, I just object that I have to go each day by day and print one daily report at a time with Sleepyhead. Sort of the defeats the purpose of having a computer program to do the work in the first place. ResMed software is great, you can have it pr...

Re: Encore Pro 2 Can't get more than weeks worth detailed data

Pugsy,

Got it, at the root level of the sd card. Unfortunately to send the doctor information, I have to go day by day and print the daily report then convert to pdf, going to be tedious.

Re: Encore Pro 2 Can't get more than weeks worth detailed data

This is absolutely incredible. I would use a choice number of detailed 4 letter words to describe it. I never like Respironics machines by choice, I hate them, I hate the menu inside the machine as it tells you next to nothing, I therefore hate the reporting. I was used to ResMed, but it happens I n...

Encore Pro 2 Can't get more than weeks worth detailed data

I'm trying to use Encore Pro. Despite the fact that I choose say a 30 day range of therapy data, the generated report only shows detailed daily night data for the past week.
I can't believe you can't look at detailed nightly data beyond 7 days ago.

Can someone help on this?

Thanks

I have severe obstructional apnea plus central apnea. A wedge ain't going to do it. I've tried a few and they don't help.

Re: Using cpap during sinus infection

I have an antibiotic to take. My ears are slightly clogged so this gets me really worried. I did have the humidifier on the cpap up, but was getting rainout in the tube. I hurt the bridge of my nose and made it red and raw a couple days ago when the mask was leaking. I tried some non stick bandaging...

Re: Using cpap during sinus infection

I think the key here is if I have excess mucous then I'm going to be in trouble. I have tinnitus and lost some hearing after the ear infection I had over a year ago, so I felt that was caused at the time by me using the cpap with an ear infection. Now I don't presently have an ear infection, but the...

Re: Using cpap during sinus infection

Right now I have no fever, and minimal mucous. I tend not to like to wash with saline, because what usually happens is that I get saline trapped in my sinuses causing worse problems. My biggest issue is my red nosebridge. I can wear the ultra mirage mask, but I was using a non stick bandage on top o...

Using cpap during sinus infection

I'm waiting to hear from my sleep doctor. A couple nights ago my mask was leaking badly because of a nose bridge pad I was trying and I dried out my nose and mouth severely. The humidifier was not working well either. Now it appears I've got a sinus infection. Right now I don't have a lot of mucus. ...
