Hi all! I have a Philips Advanced System One ASV machine that was included in the mass recall. I finally got through the remediation process and it has been super frustrating. The System One has been discontinued so they sent me a Dream Station as they said production of the System One ended a coupl...

After I had my ASV titration, I had a pretty good headache and my chest muscles and ribs ached like I had been punched repeatedly. It abated with some rest and ibuprofen.

I'm interested in how to get one of those $100 concentrators! Haha! Each one I have seen is in the $700-$1000 range. Boo hiss. My daytime sat on room air rarely dips below 96 and if it does, I notice that my hands are either freshly washed or cold. I have a basic fingertip pulse ox but not one that ...

cumbersome and EXPENSIVE. Huh, I bought a Respironics eveflow with OPI for 100$ last weekend. My insurance will not buy an O2 concentrator - only rent through the home health provider. With that being said, the HH folks bill my insurance $500 a month for the rental and until I meet my deductible, I...

Hi all. I was hospitalized in December of 2016 with pneumonia. Being very ill with obviously compromised lung function, the doctors did an overnight O2 saturation study and it was concluded I needed nocturnal supplemental O2. Fine, whatever. So I start the O2 and go in a month later for a scheduled ...

You guys are wonderful when it comes to explaining things! After that one night of 3% PB, I had no other episodes. Had one last night and it was just 1%. Can having a nasty cold throw a weird PB stat? I am on the decline of an upper respiratory infection with a ton of post-nasal drip, cough, alterna...

My first thought would be that going on the Effexor, especially if you did not taper over a long time as most of the antidepressants need to be, could have caused the blip. Second is that the 90% gauge is about your result (10.5) being at or below 90%, not AT that level for the time, so don't imagi...

HI all. I have a concern - I have been on ASV therapy for a little over a year and I have never used any software with it; however, I do check my stats on the LCD screen. The entire time I have been using the ASV therapy, I have never had any percentage of sleep time show numbers for periodic breath...

I have no basis for comparison but I was started on an ASV machine just about a year ago and Cowboy Casey is absolutely correct - it just works! I Have never been woken up by it and the only time I notice an appreciable change in pressure is when I first lay down and get situated in bed and start to...

No, I am certain it is a bipap.

Figured it out and it was a real d'oh moment! The orange light was just indicating to me that a heated tube was attached. Sooooo, no problems, just a heated tube was attached. That's it. Boy did I feel dumb after that!

Thank you for all the replies! To answer some questions/clear things up - My machine is a BiPAP autosV Advanced System One. I have a full face mask. I think it's called the Airfit F20? Usually no problems with leakage and I find it pretty comfortable! I must have been coming down with a cold over th...

Hi guys. After a night's sleep, these are my average numbers for a few of the settings that I think are pretty important: AHI = .5 90% EPAP = 13 This is my average over 30 to 45 days. Well, I checked my stats from last night and my stats jumped: AHI = 11.2 90% EPAP = 15 If it happens again tonight, ...

You guys are awesome. When I woke up this morning, there was data there. I checked it at around 0745 and sure enough, it was there. Oh, and I am only checking it on the machine's info screen. I was not told how to use the software.

Is this Sleepyhead software easy to use?

Hi all. I'm a newbie. Be gentle. I have been on BiPap therapy since the beginning of February and I LOVE IT!! I have a Phillips BiPAP autoSV Advanced System One and I have had zero issues with it. Last night, I went to sleep and the machine was on and working well. I fell asleep peacefully using the...
