Re: 1st attempt at Sleepyhead data

I see a lot of breaks in therapy where you turned the machine off and back on again....any special reason why? Can you explain what they look like so I can see them for myself and can maybe identify what is going on? Is that the "Pressure" graph where the red and green lines show the breaks?

When your ready to go I suggest a min pressure of 7 EPR of 3 max pressure of 20 and make sure you have the mask type set to full face, set the humidifier and hose temp to auto..


Then sleep with it 😎 and we can tweek from there.

Re: Which mask???

Now you done it!!! :lol: You are gonna get every mask on the market suggested to you!! Yes, I did wonder about that!! Thanks for all the replies - I have decided on the ResMed F10 as it is smaller than the others and I am very concerned that I am going to feel claustrophobic - I hate things on my f...

Which mask???

So I have decided to buy a second hand machine and self diagnose (with the help of you lovely people!!) and also go down the UK NHS route as a back-up. So I'm going to need a mask but I have no idea which one. I realise that it is a matter of personal preference but I don't want to make too many exp...

Re: UK Pre-Noob - Lots of questions

You can mix brands of masks & machines because they all use a standard size hose connection. That's very sensible - and useful! The firm called Eu-Pap This was the company that I first looked at for a private in-home study. I have also discovered that ResMed do one the is a quote from an email that...

Re: UK Pre-Noob - Lots of questions

1) There should be no problem with leakage when you travel - you pull out the water reservoir, dump the water, and travel with the two slightly separated. No leaks. You should get a bag with the machine. 2) In general, the mask has a short hose which then joins to a long hose to the machine. Just p...

Re: UK Pre-Noob - Lots of questions

Hi again Everyone, Thanks for all your replies! Now I've had some sleep I can think about it all a bit more! Your GP is very ignorant about sleep apnea. She certainly is!! I recommend sticking with ResMed or Phillips Respironics. They are the name brands and are compatible with analytical software S...
