Re: Which full face mask to go with ASV machine?
I have found that the Fisher&Paykel Eson full face mask is excellent with my ASV, but I do not have a beard.

On the Daily chart I am getting no data and on the Overview charts I get data for AHI,Usage and Session Times only. I went back to sleepyhead and was able to downl...

Re: Is there a difference between max pressures if they are not reached
A potential issue is you might find significant mask leakage.

Need help re battery backup/solar solution!
I have a Resmed aircurve 10 ASV and would like a compatible lithium ion battery backup that can be recharged via solar. The resmed backup battery is too expensive and they do not have a solar solution. My electrical competence is limited to turning a tv on and off and changing lightbulbs. Any help w...

Re: CPAP making very little difference in AHI. Taking big/hard exam soon and looking for advice.
I have central sleep apnea and winter at 5000 feet. I found Acetazolamide quickly reduced my ahi. But what helped the most was switching to an asv.

Re: Low AHI but still lightheaded dizzy sleepy fatigued
I just switched to an ASV after trying two other machines and am sleeping much better and dreaming for the first time in years. My AHI is 0 most nights. My sleep doc was reluctant to write the prescription but is now on board. I have no lung issues. Perhaps the problem is more with what the insuranc...

Re: What happened last night??
Looks like you're in ASV mode instead of ASVAuto with a fixed EPAP of 5. Since the machine can't raise EPAP, it can't help your obstructive apneas. Try switching to ASVAuto mode, Min EPAP 5, Max EPAP 15. I think you are right. Previously, I had very few obstructives, a few hypopnias and almost 100%...

What happened last night??
I started treatment 11 months ago and switched to an ASV from an Aircurve 10 Vauto in mid July 2019. My AHI with an ASV immediately dropped from 7 to close to zero. However, several nights ago I had a bizarre cluster that lasted about 40 minutes and resulted in an AHI of 5.1 for the night I have att...
