Re: Usage time missing on Resmed 11 and myAir app after switching from P10 to F40 mask

sorry if this is obvious but are you sure the machine was on? for me, sometimes i can't tell if my machine is on because the pressure settings are really well dialed in and I have to look at the machine's screen while using it to make sure(or turn it on in the app) Many of us favor the AutoStart fe...

When things happen one night, I ignore them. If it happens two or three nights, you could:

1. Get a free account at SleepHQ.com
2. Upload your machine's SD card to SleepHQ
3. Post the link to the analysis in this thread

Some members here will dig into the issue.

Welcome!

Re: Airsense 10 and F40 mask - blow out

I have the Airtouch f30i mask for two weeks now. I clean it daily with soap and water and then towel dry lightly. It dries quite fast. I love the cushion. 1. I've been using the Air Fit f30i for years. I wipe it down every morning with a small alcohol swab. In your opinion, do you think the fabric ...

Re: Oscar data help

Please edit your post. Change the subject line to "Need Help AirCurve 10 VAuto Settings" Your leaks, as far as effectiveness goes, are not so bad. The machine can compensate for leaks up to approximately 35 lpm. Now, if the leaks are waking you, that's not good. You could watch some videos on YouTub...

Re: Resmed machine not registering correct usage. Why? Especially when it says mask seal was good!

For a poor mask seal, find your mask model on YouTube. Watch a couple of videos about "fitting and adjusting" your mask model. Anyone else having an issue with a good mask seal, yet machine only registers 2 or 3 hours when it’s been on for 8?? Please clarify this. Is your leak so bad that the machin...

Perhaps with more time at the higher pressure, the CA events will wane?
Those are post-arousal CAs. Your breathing is being treated. You are not sleeping well. Adopt a strict sleep hygiene. After some time, your mind/body may become accepting of CPAP.
