resmed sleepyhead or ?? somebody is wrong

Probably SleepyHead having a problem.
Get ResScan and use it for verification.

and the machine max is 25 as i recall the dme saying

sleepyhead just reported that my max pressure for the day i ran the data was 34

machine recording data erroneously ?
sleepyhead computing the value or reading it wrong?

so who thinks my max was 34 and why did they do that ?

It has to be Resmed or Sleepyhead, we all know it's not your fault, never is never has been. Jim

it would be interesting to actually SEE that max.
Depending on where this value is coming from it can be everything from a faulty machine over software issues down to: completely normal.

First step in situations like this where a Beta software is reporting something that doesn't make much sense...use the brand name software to see if it is reporting the same thing or not.

I am betting probably not.

When Mark upgraded SleepyHead to work with the AirCurve 10 models he didn't have many ASV AirCurve machine's data to work with in terms of coding. It's been a couple of years and then some since SleepyHead was updated and it's very possible that a newer ASV has had a little change in the files that confuses SH a bit.

Well then....if you don't like the way Mark did SleepyHead....
get yourself ResScan and quit bitching about SleepyHead.
Pretty simple solution.
I am done with you. Only offered the information in this thread in case someone else had a question about Sleepyhead results.
I don't really care what you think.

Is there someone out there who doesn't understand the concept of Beta software?

If you don't like it....don't use it.
What's so difficult about that???

SleepyHead v1.0.0-beta-2

Was the AC Asv even out when this verison was released??? I thought it the ASV came out afterwards.

You know I don't remember. It may not have been released yet when Mark quit working on this last version but I would think if it wasn't then it wouldn't work at all. Kind of like the DreamStation...they all work except the newly released AutoSV and it won't work at all.

I know SleepyHead worked well with the AirCurve ST that I was using. I never saw anything wild and crazy being reported that made we want to fire up ResScan to verify...but then I was using S mode.
But Pappy is using ST mode and it works okay for him.

I'd have to check the release dates for the ASV and ST, but I'm pretty sure only the S and Vauto were out at the time, The fact that it mostly works just has to do with the data formats on the SD cards, if you remember, when the airsense came out, mark supported that, but when the aircurves came out, they *MOSTLY* worked, due to the similarity in the data, but the pressures and settings were all screwed up, due to minor differences. It took a SH code update to fix that bit. My feeling is that this is the same thing.

Some unreasonable people not only want things for free, abut perfection for free.

You know now that you mention it I think you are right and I know that SleepyHead is still buggy when it comes to the 960 PR S1 when certain setting changes are involved and we never did figure out the triggers on that one.

How true. Those are the people who would bitch if they were hung with a new rope. Can't please them no matter what you do or don't do.
I rarely even want to waste the time or energy to try to please them.

If you suspect your device is faulty take it to your DME.

if you could post the chart -the actual chart for that night - we could take a look (unflag all your events if you are too scared).

having pressure spikes can be totally normal - depends on what pressure-chart your are referring to and how the spikes do look like.

As others have suggested, go to apneaboard dot com and get ResScan. Very few professionals will put much stock in SleepyHead. All professionals are likely to use ResScan when working with ResMed machines. The latest ResScan, available from apneaboard, will be compatible with your device. ResScan is compatible with Windows XP/ SP2 and later and comes with a clinical manual.

I've been using SleepyHead with my Aircurve 10 ASV and have had no problems with it and it matches up with my ResScan software.
