I found that I got pink sludge, and quickly got it, when I had to use tap water. I had run out of distilled and thought it would not make a lot of difference. Wrong!!

What is the correlation between AHI and amount of pressure?

I have been wondering this for awhile but would just like some feedback. Why for instance is one person who had upson testing had a AHI of near 100/hour and their pressure is 8 when my AHI was 39/hour and my pressure is 13? SHouldn't the pressure go up as the number of events go up? Just wondering. ...

Okay, I talked to Resmed. Interestingly enough they were less than helpful also. I just must not be asking the right questions. The tech person kept telling me that I would not see data after noon. Okay, I get that, but the fact of the matter is I also saw the "no data" on pressure when I looked at ...

Also, I have a call in to me DME to see if they have heard of this. 2paps really threw me when she said her husband was told to send this back because of this. I want to make sure my machine is working properly.

2paps:

Did they give him an explanation as to what was wrong? Has he received his new unit and does it give him the pressure data now? Please let me know. Thanks!

I am starting to think that because it is a CPAP machine it assumes you know that your pressure is what the tech set it at. The only other thing it could be is just some kind of bug in the internal software that Resmed is not aware of or if they are they just do not think it is an issue. Anyone else...

Okay I enabled the EPR last night and when I reviewed my pressure this morning on my LCD it again said "no data". It does give data for AHI, AI, HI, and leakage. I just do not understand this. Also, there is "no data" for the week yet so I guess it will not give me that data until a week is up. I wo...

Hobbs, I don't think so. I was able to turn it off the other day so I think I can turn it on.

I have used the Quattro for about a year now. I find that I have to tighten it quite a bit to get it to seal.

Also,you cannot change the size by just changing cushions. You would have to get a whole new mask.

I am thinking because I am using straight CPAP that they would assume they would not have to put the pressure results on the LCD screen because the pressure would be what was set up by the Tech. That is all I can figure out. Otherwise, I have no clue.

My S7 Elite was kind of doing the same thing. It became really loud over the years. I just got a new Resmed S8 Elite II and it is very quiet compared to my old unit. I am not sure if your unit is working properly and I guess really the only way to determine that is to take it to your DME and let the...

Did they change the mask setting on your machine? I don't know much about Respironics but I know on my Resmed unit if I do not have it on the correct mask setting it will give me some strange data. Might just double check and make sure your machine is set on the proper mask setting.

Question on Resmed S8 Elite II

Okay, I have been using my new S8 ELite II for two nights now. I absolutely love the small profile. I do have a question about data on the LCD screen though. When I review my results for the night it gives me data for everything except pressure. On that it shows "no data". Do any of you know why thi...
