Leak and numer confusion

Post by porkyedwards@hotmail.com » Tue Dec 15, 2015 7:04 pm

Hi I am new here and am learning so much from reading so many of the comments on this site. I was wondering if you could let me know how I got an awesome 100 score on My Air. I am usingAir Sense 10 elite machine and using pillows and a chin strap. My leaks are 31L/min and I had happy face for maskSeal and Humidity to. It said events per hour 3.7. My A1 total was 10.4 and Central was 6.1. There seems to be some conntriticions in these numbers. Oh I did use two thin layers of tape to make sure mouth was closed as I am mouth breather. I have used machine for about 3 weeks and first week awful but will admit I feel so much better now. Finally got 8 hors sleep as had been averaging 6. I am young, 66 year old Canadian wintering in Bradenton Fl. Thanks for any imput. Barb

Hi - what are your pressure settings? And I wonder if you'd consider downloading Sleepyhead software (free) from the first note ("Announcement, Tutorial") on main page because it gives great comprehensive reports on so much overnight, easy to use and there's a Mac version. How to link it to this note should be in the above note as well. I don't think My Air is as useful.
