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?

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...
