Donald Trump may have Sleep Apnea: http://amsleep.org/donald-trump-dress-s ... eep-apnea/ "I will build a great CPAP -- and nobody builds CPAPs better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great CPAP on everyone's nightstand, and I will make Mexico pay ...

The 960 ASV I picked up in June came with a heated humidifier and heated hose. It was turned on- who needs a heated hose in the summer? It also came with a modem to communicate with the mother ship. When the ASV malfunctioned and gave the mothership different information than it displayed for me I e...

I use two different nasal masks: the FX for her and the Eson. I like the Eson because it is quieter and doesn't get as close to my eyes as the FX. However, if I use the FX my AHI is always less than 1. If I use the Eson, my AHI is always 2 or higher. I don't have a computer so I can't check things o...

I have obstructive sleep apnea and idiopathic central sleep apnea. My pressures are low (minimum pressure is 5.5 and a minimum pressure support of 0; a weave pressures are 7 and a pressure support of 4). But I need that patterning of the ASV to stimulate my breathing. Unlike cpap or bipap which chan...

I just exchanged mine under warranty. It was missing whole days of data and since I'm still having to prove compliance (replacing a six year old legacy with this one) it caused problems. My DME was uncooperative but when I called Respironics directly they sent a replacement.

I called Respironics myself after the DME said that they could not exchange my malfunctioning ASV that was less than 30 days old. It was not giving me data on the info screen every couple of days, and the recorded zeros got averaged into the stats it keeps for one week and one month. It made me upse...

" It resulted in me finally not waking up at all overnight! Not even for the restroom!"

That's a good sign that the cpap is doing its job. Frequent need to urinate at night is a symptom of sleep apnea. One more incentive to keep strapping on that mask.

I had my follow-up visit so the doctor could look at the data from my replacement ASV. The nurse called out to the tech to upload the data from the modem and the tech responded that there was no record of my having a machine. Nurse put me on the phone with the tech and I told her that I'd been using...

If you insult new users for asking questions that seem dumb to you where will they turn for other questions that might have major impacts on their health? If this is really a board to help people the don't co sided any question as stupid. It's not like their DME or doctor can give a good answer half...

The ports are there for exhaled air and surplus air to escape.

The sleep lab tech knows when you are awake or asleep and scores the report accordingly. On the previous titration tests were your centrals separate or in clusters? I have complex apnea. I had to have several months of proven data from failed bipap before I could get an ASV. To show how random sleep...

The DME tech says that Respironics refuses to exchange it because it is not a therapy issue. Said "that happens" as far as data not being recorded on the info screen. I called Respironics today and argued that if the onscreen data is corrupt then what else might be wrong? Plus now it whistles during...

Sleep apnea can cause low testosterone. Do the search. It is more than possible to have other reasons for exhaustion than sleep apnea. Just because you are still tired while using the apap does not mean you don't have sleep apnea. Mine was due to low vitamin D and high stress and poor sleep stage cy...

My info screen on my ASV has shown 0for usage and all other data for two nights now after doing that on and off over the month I've had it. It factors those zeros into the seven and thirty day averages. I brought it into the DME today and at first the RT dismissed my concern because data IS coming t...
