Haha! Fixed it! Can you tell I’m new at this yet? :lol:
You picked the BiPap Auto. Do you have BiPap or the Auto Cpap listed right above the one you chose?

Re: CPAP can I help it along?

For the wireless cellular data link to connect you have to be in an area with good cell phone coverage.

Re: Screenshot Help/Sleepyhead

The Pro model is a fixed pressure cpap model. You can get your Clinical manual here. Scroll down to section Three where they tell you how to get one by Email. https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap- ... tup-manual

Re: After 2 weeks of using CPAP - understanding SH results

Are you checking the seal at 15cm when you put it on? Just raise the pressure then after you get it sealed put the pressure back to your settings. Looks like when your pressure was elevated it leaked but when it was lower it maintained a seal. Worth a try.

Re: Distilled water covered by Insurance?

Just spend a few days in the hospital and they will provide the distilled water and bill the insurance. But I'm sure it was billed for more than $1. :roll:

Re: Newby Question

I guess I am confused because I thought I was getting this description from you and Robby Sue on this thread. www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t67085/Press ... -mean.html Was it the wrong name on the old thread also? Anyway I knew it was "just testing". That thread is a bit confusing but let me give you ...

Re: Newby Question

Those spikes are Pulse Pressures where Respironics Machines sends out a little quick pressure increase to check out the patency of the airway. So you will see it " just checking" to make sure there is no obstruction. You will see them listed also on the left in the colored strips. You are confusing...

Re: Do I really need this CPAP?

Just got a CPAP yesterday. My doctor didn't tell me my sleep study results, but the lady at the device place said I had 14 events in an hour. I did the home test, and had the worst night ever, continually aware of the devices, changing positions, etc. Anyway, I looked at my first night CPAP stats, ...

Re: Newby Question

No bathroom break sometimes is a positive reward of treatment that is getting more effective. :D To me it looks like the main difference was your pressure wasn't jumping about so much but it's still not enough to prevent the hypopneas. Like PaleRider said with the Respironics machines you probably n...

Did my first night of XPAP last night. (Luckily, Apria didn't ship me a brick, but rather a ResMed Airsense 10.)
Which Airsense 10 Model?
Autoset, Autoset For Her, CPAP, Elite


Unhook your hose wherever easiest for you.

The holes at the front of the mask are there for venting your expired air.

Re: Newby Question

This screenshot is still at the 4 minimum. I think you have a good plan to go ahead and increase the minimum. I think you will eventually need 7cm but if you want try the 6 and evaluate before increasing more that's ok. It's all about changing one thing and seeing what difference it makes for you.
