Been using CPAP and humidifiers since 2000 and have not use distilled water at all. Never. Still alive!!!... at least that's what the mirror is saying.

Just tossing that out there.

I received a new ResMed S9 at the beginning of April and was bowled over by its silence (at a "16" setting). Two weeks ago, I switched from the Breeze nasal pillow mask to the ResMed P10 Airfit nasal pillow mask. Even MORE silence in the bedroom! This past weekend, I broke out my old old old white n...

Your signature shows you are using a Resmed S9. The Resmed S9s record only the unintentional leak rate which is shown as "Leak Rate" in SleepyHead. Thank you for your reply. If I understand correctly then, what I am seeing are "real" (unintentional) leaks... pillows askew, mouth breathing, etc. Yes?

Hello all... If this has been asked before, my apologies. I have seen a number of SleepyHead graphs that show "Leak Rate" and "Total Leak" data. But all I see is plain old "Leaks" in my reports. Is it an option I'm not finding in the software? Or is it because the software does not have the capabili...

Okay, I'm sorry, but I read this in another post where someone described their sleep study and I have to ask. Is this normal with a sleep study?!?!?! I feel it's unnatural to have wires gelled all over the body, a microphone tied around the neck, a "tumescence band" attached you-know-where (and rea...

Isn't this where a moderator needs to chime in?

I feel it's unnatural to have wires gelled all over the body, a microphone tied around the neck, a "tumescence band" attached you-know-where (and really, what is THAT all about???), and cameras watching you every second of the night. It's only my opinion that the experience is invasive, intrusive a...

As a "long time" user, you should be able to manage your own therapy with the machine that you have. (I agree about needing an attitude adjustment). What's all this judgement about an attitude? I recounted my experiences at past overnights and feelings about the process. What were the naughty words...

Hopefully the machine you're using will provide the data needed because you certainly don't have a good attitude about the overnight test, and the successfulness of those type tests depends a lot on your attitude. In fact, the successfulness of PAP in general depends a lot on attitude. Is the judge...

Also don't be afraid of doing an overnight sleep study. It's not as bad as you might think. I have had 3 overnight studies since 2000. The first study yielded NO useful data because I never went to sleep. The second gave them just under 3 hours of info to work with. The third was slightly better as...

Thank you, Pugsy!

DaveDzRochNY Welcome to the forum! If you have Auto ON/OFF turned OFF and machine runs during those few minutes, you'll get a LARGE LEAK flagged and the machine may decide that there's no one breathing and not count that time towards "usage" or "therapy" hours, but 2-3 minutes out of the whole nigh...

Cheerfully requesting access to the ResScan software (s9Auto w/ H5i Humidifier, if that matters).

Thank you!

Hello Peoples... First-time poster, long-time CPAP user (since 2000). After receiving my latest unit last week (S9 Auto w/ humdifier) and having access to SleepyHead, I've become mildly obsessed with the stats. I'm wondering how badly a 2 or 3 minute mid-night run to the john affects stats (ie: mask...
