Yeah, your leak rate was really quite acceptable until something happened to the mask around 4:20 AM for maybe 30 minutes or so and then you ended the sleep session...probably the leak finally woke you up. If that were my report I would just shrug my shoulders and move on and not give it a second t...

Any 95% number just means that for 95% of the time you were at or below that number for 95% of the time. 95 % numbers are easily elevated though by short periods of time in large leak which is what happened to me. Remember in my example the 95% number was 48 L/Min but when I actually looked at the ...

Thanks for weighing in Pugsy, but I'm reeeaaallll 'green' so where on Oscar can I find the stat of 24 you are referring to? It's not an OSCAR evaluation or line in the sand. It's ResMed line in the sand and in the ResMed literature. ResMed has used the 24 L/min as the line in the sand ever since ti...

If the leaks are waking you up....unwanted and need to be fixed from the standpoint of disturbing you sleep no matter how big or little they are. If the leaks aren't waking you up...pay attention to how much time you spend OVER 24 L/Min along with how long you spend over 24 L/min. Example 15 minute...

Which leak rate statistic is the most important to keep an eye on, if any one of them applies?

Does anyone tried/use Somnifix mouth tape? If so, could you weigh in with your experience with it.

Also, has anyone ever had an issue where the tape caused an issue as far as 'breathing' during the night?

TIA

I have used both frames and the Air Touch is definitely more comfortable and leaves less marks on the face. As for longevity I haven't noticed much difference.

Sleepy Boy says it makes no difference.

I've used them both, and F30, F40, and x30i too. All are high quality and none are directly comparable for what should be obvious reasons. There's no such thing as 'group consensus' when it comes to specific personal criteria, such as fit, comfort, features, unique facial structure, sleeping style,...

I did a search and did not find a thread that was specific on the consensus of Silicone vs Memory Foam! Before I get all the hate, I KNOW that there is no one better than the other because it's totally perspective and everyone has different experiences with different CPAP equipment. I'm just trying ...

The x30i is so expensive my DME will not supply it. The reimbursement from Medicare plus my copay is not enough to cover my DME's cost.

What mask are you using?

F30i a good choice which is where I am now.

I just saw this on YouTube. I have no idea how solid this is or even if it's been insurance certified yet? Thinking-about KPAP (Kairos Positive Airway Pressure) is a newer positive airway pressure therapy designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea by delivering air pressure only when it is needed mos...

I'm wondering if the pressure might go down a tad, once you lie down on the wedge pillow giving the machine time to adjust, or is that just 'wishful thinking'?

Personally, I've found that the only nasal masks that work for me are the "nasal cradle" masks. The cushion goes under the nose, "cradles" it, like the ResMed N30 or the Dreamwear Nasal mask. I find the minimal impact (my nose isn't fully covered, only my nostrils) is much easier for me. I used nas...
