Software to read data

Post by cpierc01 » Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:15 pm

I am a newbie here. I have been on the Biflex for 1 week. My sleep study showed that i have severe sleep apnea with an AHI of 38.6. I have been using the Pilarno nasal pillows and I wear them all night but still only sleep maybe 5 hours total. So I am encouraged that I can wear them all night even if awake. I am having some shortness of breath during the day but my GP and Sleep doctor both feel it is hyperventilation and will go away after I some time on the machine. The sleep doctor said I as so exhausted that he wanted to work on tis and if I still had a probelem later then he would do more testing. I have had blood work doen and all came back great. I have also had chest and lung X-rays that acme back fine. They are telling me my heart sounds good and I know they hook the heart monitr to you during the two nights I had on the sleep study and it was ok. My pressure is 11 and my AHI is varying any where from .7 to 3.3(week average is 2.4)

Sorry to be so long but my question is I tried to used the sleepyhead software and it will not import the data. I use a Mac and I can see the data but it will not import. Does anyone know if I can use this software or do I need something else.

Thanks for any help.

Did you get the Patch file for SleepyHead for the Mac version. You have a 60 series machine and SleepyHead needs special Patch file.

See this thread.

viewtopic/t83551/SleepyHead-Series-60-Patch-Avail.html

The Patch file in the first post is for Windows computers....the Patch file for the Mac version is on page 3 or 4 or thereabouts.

There is another software that can be used but it only has a Windows only version...no Mac version and to use it on your Mac you need to set up some sort of virtual Windows on the Mac.
