Re: Please help with interpreting Oscar data
Your pressure is moving around a lot... this means the machine is seeing problems (snore, OA/H, FL) and pumping your pressure up. Best to just set a pressure that stops most of these problems. I'd start working your min pressure upwards, looks like it wants 11cm. A more constant pressure gives your ...

Re: Motorcycle camping with ResMed AirSense11
Inverters add another level of inefficiency... you're wanting 12v to 24v conversion... no need to hit 120VAC in between. Turn off any hose heat or humidifier functions to minimize battery drain, of course. The Resmed solution is not cheap... the Amazon vendors have much cheaper options. You will sti...

Re: Please explain this about rainout
Water vapor is generated in the chamber... entirely normal to see condensation on the walls, they're not heated. The hose is heated to prevent the vapor from condensing until it gets in your airway. Masks with a short tube attached (pillows, Evora, etc) have a non-heated place for condensation to ha...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
From looking at my graphs from the past few days, my hypopneas appear to be worse as my pressure goes higher (here's a great example - https://sleephq.com/public/a00ec008-aad5-4f3e-8da1-817eaf26922c). Is this normal, and would it be worth decreasing my pressure a bit to see if this helps (while als...

Re: Unclassified Apneas
O2Ring artifacts normally show up in pulse, the O2 will stick to previous readings while the pulse will go high in my experience. No clue what O2 monitor you're using. You mostly quit breathing for 30 seconds... yes, that's a real desat IMO. The machine did not call it a CA because there was some at...

Re: leaks! mask liners?
We don't know your machine... if you're on the Airsense 11 there's a known hose connection leak issue, workaround is to face the unit *away* from you, don't pull the hose to one side. I've found the Vitera cushion responds to cleaning... both your face and the cushion. Also I use Simplus headgear wi...

Re: Insurance Fraud? Airsense 10 and ROTECH.
Either get a lawyer or sign under duress, or both? Looks like you're over a barrel. What was the agreement for the previous machine? Are you paying something out of pocket otherwise? These machines don't often have problems... do they have you on auto-pay? Just crazy that they require a new machine,...

Re: OSCAR Question with new machine
I'm replacing my Resmed Airsense 10 with a new Airsense 10. Good choice. Put a new motor in the old one and keep it as a spare. Is it OK to use the SD card I have been using or is it necessary and/or preferable to use the one that came with the new machine? When you plug it in it will over-write th...

Re: I went to CPAP class!
Was your CPAP class with Kaiser? Are you on Senior Advantage? If so, you might want to check your Evidence of Coverage (you can find it online, it's the actual contract between you and your insurer). HMO's can charge a perpetual rental and Kaiser does. So you NEVER own your machine, and you have to...

Re: Is Uncle Nick losing it, or onto something again?
Care to explain? I like Nick. Never hurt me or lied to me. Done a lot for the community as far as I can tell. You're not one of those 11 lovers, are you?
Here's Lanky Jason on the same subject.

Is Uncle Nick losing it, or onto something again?
Suspicious that a necessary fix comes down along with a wish-list grab using that microphone... if you disable your modem you don't get the necessary fix. Everyone, get a 10 while you still can... there's a new tub for it, it's now the best machine available. If you have an 11 and wish to disable th...
