Sleepyhead charts?

Post by Yayoe10 » Tue Mar 14, 2017 2:51 pm

So I'm using the Airsense 10 cpap machine , and I see people being able to use the sleepyhead app to get very detailed graphs and way more information than i do with MyAir app which only shows the average leak and average AHI and how much time I slept basically. I want to be able to get more information is there any way to do that ? I've tried using the SD card with sleepyhead and it gives me the same information as MyAir no graphs or detail with anything.

The AirSense 10 CPAP machine doesn't give any more data than what you are seeing.
It's what I call a half assed brick...it gives a little more data than a full brick but not much.
The reason you can't see any graphs or any other detail is because your machine doesn't collect it.

Oh well that sucks ! I'm guessing the Airsense 10 ELITE can ? Because I think I've seen some people with the elite getting the full on graphs , I'm guessing the elite can do it ? Man well this sucks lol I wonder if they'd let me change machines

I believe the Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset is compatible with Sleepyhead software. Is that correct?

Get your doctor to write a prescription indicating a need for a data capable machine...take it to your DME (supplier) and ask them to exchange it.

Yes, the Elite gathers the full details you are missing.
I don't know if they will let you swap machines or not after this length of time. Sometimes it's hard enough the first week or so when someone realizes they have a full brick or a half assed brick.
If you don't ask the answer is always "no".
Getting your doctor to write a RX for a full data...that would work but no guarantee your insurance would pay for a second machine. I am sure the DME would be happy to sell you one though. The trick is getting insurance to pay.

At least you have some data. It's better than nothing.

The AHI is the overall AHI...no event category breakdown but if the AHI is low then not knowing each category may not be that critical.

I think you also have the 95% leak number available which means your leak was at OR BELOW that for 95% of the time.
If it is consistently below 24 L/min then large leaks are unlikely to be much of a problem.
Now having the 95% number be above 24 L/min...may or may not mean a problem with leaks. The 95% leak number is easily skewed by relative short periods of time in large leak...so having a higher 95% number doesn't necessarily mean that something really bad is going on...just that it might.

If money permits and you want to ever get a back up or travel machine you could of course get a full data machine at that time.

It doesn't show anything in detail just the same myair graphs. Nothing else

Yea I'm going to try, although sadly it's hard for this doctor to write any prescription for ANYTHING, she's my ENT dr for my chronic sinusitis too and she always forgets to write me my prescriptions for medications, equipment I need, or a new mask I've been needing , and I always call and shes never available. Luckily I see her tomorrow

True I guess I would just like to know my info in more detail especially for leaks , my leaks been really high these past weeks even passing to 60+ L/min and sadly it doesn't say the percentage for leaks I think just the average

On the LCD screen the leak number is what we call a 95% number...meaning the leak was at OR BELOW that number (whatever it is showing) for 95% of the time.
So no, it won't mention a percentage. We just know that ResMed reports leaks this way on the LCD screen. The MyAir leak number is the same 95% number.

Using the 60 L/Min number as an example...it means for 95% of the night you were at OR below that number. We don't know how low or how long of a time you spent between 24 (large leak territory) and 60. It does sound like leaks were pretty bad though and if you are seeing this much leak often then you sure need to be able to evaluate the leak in better detail because it could be seriously impacting the AHI that is reported. If you spent half the night night near 60 L/min leak...the machine could be missing events...so that nice low AHI might not really be so low.

It's not an average though..you need to understand what you are seeing.
It's what we (and ResMed) call a 95% number and the definition of 95% number is "at OR BELOW" that number. It is NOT where a person was at for 95% of the time. People often forget the "or below" part of the definition.

the resmed airsense10 autoset does show more info if you go into the clinician menu. it also is very much compatible with sleepyhead. you must use an SD card in the side of the machine and the machine records data to it with each session. that SD card can then be imported into a computer and into the sleepyhead software.

Crestfer is talking about the AUTOSET model. Unfortunately you have the CPAP model.
