Thanks so much for the input. I do get my best results and feel better when I keep EPR OFF. AHI is more often than not, less the 1.0 with leak using the N30 at 25-30L, rarely above 30L. So I will just run with that. I did see some posts with regards to CAs being erroneously recorded hence my posting...

Thank you for the bump. I snugged up my mask more than typical last eve, so leaks were down to 14L, but CAs resulted in a 2.2AHI, (OAs were still 0.0) my worst result in a long time. So tonight I am dropping EPR to 1 and will see if the snug mask/EPR combo helps with leaks. Anytime I have turned EPR...

Hello I am fairly new to CPAP, have been using about 16months. My study showed 52 OA, zero CAs. I now have an Airsense 11 and with input from people here a year ago I learned I have positional apnea, so by side sleeping I rarely have any OAs. Most of my events are CAs. I have no idea if they are rea...

This may be an option for you: https://www.thecpapstore.ca/product/go- ... ap-battery

I have no personal experience with it but it seems to be complete with all necessary cables for much less cost than other options.

I also use the F30 with my Airsense 11 and just purchased an Airmini. The F30 is supported by the mini but without any humidification. So for a full face mask you have to go to an F20 which I have no experience with. I may indeed try the F20 at some point but I already know how the N30 works (some l...

I just acquired a brand new Airsense 11 in June. It has a 3 year warranty as required by the Ontario govt to be eligible for funding. Funding is available every 5 years. I can purchase (within 90 days) an extended warranty that adds 2 years such that it is fully under warranty for 5 years, cost is $...

Just a follow up to my F30 issues. From all of the replies I learned of positional apnea and found my AHI dropped significantly when I slept on my side vs back. The reason I even tried a full face mask was I having ongoing leaks, dry mouth with the nasal N30, even though pretty good results (1.5-3.5...

I had never used IMGUR in my life till today. Once the account was created it seemed one could add one image at a time or alternatively add a group of images at once. Once done, there was an option to create a link which I did, & I tested it before posting here. I'd set the images to hidden such tha...

Pugsy Thank you very much for taking the time to write that incredibly detailed response on CAs & EPR. I have been at this for 1 month, (sleep study 3 months ago) and very much am just learning. I simply had read somewhere the notion of EPR & CA having a correlation, tried reducing EPR & had a posit...

Pugsy I truly appreciate your taking the time to review my reports & your insights. This whole CPAP thing seems like one is prescribed a machine and then your left on your own with no follow up or professional advice.. I doubt I'd get any feedback, at least in a timely manner from the sleep Dr. if I...

I have never used IMGUR but just created an account, uploaded the 3 Oscar reports as hidden or private so I hope this works: https://imgur.com/a/0qLZ2q4 Pugsy offered some suggestions as to increasing baseline pressures for back sleeping or my using a full face mask. I would have thought that the au...

Thank you both for the replies. Pugsy, you mentioned some changes in settings could yield better back sleep results. Given my success with side sleeping I will continue with that but it would be good to have the option for future reference. All of your other assumptions seem to be spot on by the way...

Maybe this is common knowledge but ever since I started using the Airsense11 a month ago I have slept on my back 100% of the time as that seemed least disruptive to the mask/hose. I had been fighting leaks (mouth apparently) and trying reduce the AHI from a range of 5-7. But last night I had an orde...

I did a sleep study early this that indicated I had severe OSA, 52 AHI, all obstructives, no CA. I now have an Airsense 11 auto, pressure 9-16. With an N30 nasal cushion mask my typical results are an AHI of 5 to 6, typically 3-4 are CAs, 0.5-1.5 are Obstructives. Leak rate always seems high (25-30)...
