FLOW LIMITATION INDEX TOO HIGH!
My AHI is acceptable. the last five nights are 2.1, 2.8, 2.4, 1.7 and 2.7. My pressure is 7-12 with IFL turned off on my Sandman Auto. My Flow limitation index for those same nights is 32.1, 39.4, 23.7. 40.0, 31.1. It is even worse if I enable the IFL.The numbers on the runs are uaually in the 400 t...

Re: Best Mask for someone with full upper dentures
He said when he got them his dentist told him to take them out at night and put them in the Polident or whatever at night. He never questioned it and has done well with them for about 10 years. He has never had a problem with them at all. So doesn't want to change that.

Best Mask for someone with full upper dentures
My husband has just started on the CPAP and is using the Quattro mask. He doesn't sleep with his false teeth in, so the nasal masks I use don't really work very well for him. Does anyone have any experience with different masks without their dentures?

Re: Air leaks, sore on nose, pressure marks?
What is the website for the product that eliminates leaks? I haven't been able to find it.

Re: Set up
CPap.com did set my machine per the prescription before sending it to me, however they also send the manual so you can set it yourself.

Re: Sandman Auto IFL Enabled or disabled?
Yes, Hawthorne, you are right, I probably shouldn't have changed 2 things at once. I wanted to try the lower pressures as I have a terrible problem trying to keep my masks from leaking. When I used the lower pressure, my blood pressure was high the next morning and I guess I am still a little anxiou...

Re: I need help with settings on new Sandman Auto
Thunder Road, Do you not have any problems with rebreathing co2 with the settings that low. With my Respironics M Series, I did. Also how do you delete the info on the card? I used the Sandman about 10 days ago and then again last night, so I would like to start over the numbers fresh.

Re: I need help with settings on new Sandman Auto
Thanks Ozij for the explanation. I had used the Sandman about 10 days ago, but didn't have my card reader yet. I woke up with it going full blast and had the same problem with a 420E I used to have, so I thought I would try it last night with the IFL off. I don't know if I did the right thing, but w...

Re: I need help with settings on new Sandman Auto
I have gotten the card reader and am going to use my Sandman Auto tonight. I did turn off the IFL Command. What is the function of the IFL Command?

I need help with settings on new Sandman Auto
I have purchased a new Sandman auto, the settings seem a little more complicated than my Respironics M Series. I tried to use it last night. The maximum was at 12, I woke up and hit the ramp button. Shouldn't it just go back to the Ramp pressure at that time? It didn't. What is the Command on IFL? S...

Re: How to read the reports
I think the first thing I need to do is try to get my leaks stopped. I have tried putting the mask on tighter and it just hurts my nose. On the daily reports the chart on leak(LPM) is anything but a straight line. Looks more like the skyline of a city. I'm not sure what mask to try because this one ...
