(ASV) Apnea Index --> .020710366

Post by Grand-PAP » Tue Jun 06, 2017 5:33 am

I don't want to look a Gift Horse in the mouth, but this has me concerned that my new ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV may NOT be recording correctly.

After five years of using a Respironics System One autoSV, with a "normal" Apnea Index of about .8 to 1.0, I switched to the AirCurve with these results:

Number of Nights: 15
Number of Hours Used: 96.57
AHI: .6
Apnea Index: 0.0 (Actually: .020710366)
Number of Apneas: Two
Length of Apneas: 23 seconds each

Do these results seem, at all, possible?

Has anyone else on the AirCurve had results like these?

Looks like the 0.0 is nothing more than a rounding down figure since ResMed only goes to tenths in its reporting.
So yes, I would think very possible over the course of 15 nights worth of numbers for averaging.
Doesn't come close to what is needed to round up to 0.1.
I wouldn't give it more than a shrug of my shoulders.

I think it's more of a case of .8-1.0 on respironics to .02 on resmed... and wondering if the resmed just works that much better for him.

and, yes, yes it does.
