resmed aircurve 10 asv Data

[Kody]

My ancient Repironics BiPAP auto SV advanced died a few weeks ago. Thanks again Pugsy for giving me the name of SecondWind, got a backup machine from them until I could get a new machine. Question is this... I was used to pulling my old card and putting it in the infineer card reader and reading my data every morning. Now with the new machine I just use the dial and check the AHI etc. which is a lot easier than screwing around with the computer. I was wondering if the Data from doing it this way is accurate since my AHI has seemed to drop to Zero when with the old machine it was usually around 3.? I also signed up for the my air website and see a little more details. Is all this good enough or is their a better program to see more data? With my old machine I could see a graph where I could tell when I fell asleep, this new one there isn't any so I have no idea how much actual sleep I am getting... Thanks..

You went from a Respironics ASV (and an old one at that) to a ResMed ASV...which model did you get S9 Adapt or AirCurve 10 ASV?

Does't surprise me one bit that the AHI has dropped....different algorithms between the 2 brands for one thing.

You can use SleepyHead or ResScan software (or both if you wish) to get more details. There is a lot more available than what MyAir is giving you.

Yes it's the Aircurve 10 ASV. They told me it may take a bit getting used to compared to the old machine. I didn't find it hard at all, it's actually easier to breath with. Oh I didn't know I could use SleepyHead with this one. Thanks for the info, will try and get both programs. Thanks again Pugsy for your help, I was freaking when my old faithful gave out and I had nothing for four days.

I my opinion you got the best machine for your problem and you can trust that low AHI....it's just what the ASV can do when given a chance.

Don't get ResScan 6.0 if you get ResScan....get 5.9....6.0 has a real annoying log in password process and it doesn't offer you anything that 5.9 won't offer. I think the apneaboard offers both for that reason.

You are going to be pleasantly surprised....you will see a lot of stuff that the old Respironics machine didn't show in Encore.
Most of it you won't need or understand but it's there to confuse you.

SleepyHead 1.0xxx works nicely with the AirCurve 10 ASV.
SleepyHead 1.1xxx probably works well enough but it lacks some features since it isn't a polished product. It is faster to download but I find it missing some labels of stuff and while 1.0xxx is a bit slower...it's not a deal breaker slow.

Very Cool thanks again! I'm totally amazed so far at the advancements in the new machine, now I'm almost GLAD my old faithful died... Lol.!!

Just wondering how much the Aircurve asv used from them was? It is a nice machine for sure

I actually got it new through Kaiser. I bought a used back up machine a Respironics Bipap Auto SV Advanced through SecondWind for about a grand. I wanted that model because it's what I had and was used to and had spare parts for since I've been on it for the last 8 years. It was also the least expensive ASV machine they had. I did not have a back up so when my regular one went out I was screwed! Will never let that happen again as I went 4 days basically with very little sleep.
