Those are vent holes.....not anything to do with a filter on the N30 mask.
The P10 has the same venting system with the little holes.
You are supposed to keep the holes clean and free of gunk with cleaning.
Got a water pik???

Re: CPAP Data Help
So you are saying that it is nothing that a APAP or a BiPap machine can solve, but an external reasoning that is causing my CA's and poor sleep? CPAP/APAP machines can't fix or deal with central apneas. Instead they are designed to prevent obstructive apneas or hyponeas.. You would need a totally d...

Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better
The other day I stumbled upon a little chart that explained what the various humidity settings and hose temp settings at either manual or auto meant. I thought I saved that document but I can't seem to find it at the moment and I don't feel so great right now and that means I don't feel like searchi...

Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better
The "auto" setting for climate control or humidity is equal to around the setting of 4 or 5 if doing manual.
It's sort of a middle of the road setting.

Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better
The data you can see at/from the MyAir website is just a tiny bit more detailed than what you can see on the machine's LCD screen. Doesn't hold a candle to what you can see using either OSCAR or SleepHQ. IMHO MyAir is pretty sophomoric. read this thread please https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t188...

Re: CPAP Data Help
What is causing my CA? Your centrals/CAs are a symptom of your poor sleep quality and not necessarily the cause of your poor sleep. Are you waking often during the night? Any idea why? Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? Do you have any other issues (physical or mental) that could...

Re: "CA" Clear Airway Events
In your third example, I think you are saying that the CA isn't real because you believe you were not really asleep....you 'awoke'? Correct. The big gulp means I wasn't asleep. Don't assume that since the breathing "looks" like asleep breathing that a person is really asleep. I got tons of awake br...

Re: Bad leaks and fits from AC11 and P30i
I thought once you get the okay and you can move around a little bit, you stop when you want. In other words I thought it goes on forever and when you're satisfied you just stop it. You thought wrong. Think about it....something that seals when sitting up might not seal at all when laying down. You...

Re: "CA" Clear Airway Events
For my own education - may I ask how you're able to determine that those events in your example are true central apnea events? Probably spent 2 years or so putting the flow rate (breathing) under the microscope looking for sleep breathing vs awake/arousal breathing before I was comfortable with my ...

Re: "CA" Clear Airway Events
Are these arousal-related CA "flags" simply a function of my body being roused out of a deeper sleep? If so, it sounds like I have nothing to worry about with these events. Yep....still look like arousal/awake breathing flagged events to my eye. And yep....nothing to worry about except it points to...

Re: "CA" Clear Airway Events
Reducing (or totally turning EPR off) won't make any difference with the central apnea flagging UNLESS EPR IS THE TRIGGER for causing the central apneas. Are your central apnea flags showing asleep breathing or awake/arousal breathing? Important to know the difference. Do you remember being awake ve...

Re: Resmed S9 ASV "Motor life exceeded"
I've got a new doctor and new insurance. Are they going to make me do another sleep study? Start by checking with your new insurance company as to what THEY might be requiring before they go buying you another machine. Each insurance company (and their myriad of different plans) may have different ...

Re: Sticky: Distilled Water vs. bottled water vs tap water
I am not worried about the water tank because that get's replaced every 6 months and what I do is used filtered and then boiled water that I use for drinking. However, since the AR11 is a new machine with some problems, I am using only distilled water in case something goes wrong. I am not really h...
