Remstar Auto/CPAP mode

I am trying to set my machine at 10cm, with 20 minute ramp starting at 8cm. The smart card device prescription does not have a ramp starting pressure. Does anyone know how to set the ramp starting pressure?Thanks. _________________ CPAPopedia Keywords Contained In This Post (Click For Definition): R...

I haven't tried them, but I will. Also, my AHI is typically between .5 and 1.0, and my snore index is usually between .5 and 1.0 as well.

heated humidifier change

I am considering changing to the Fisher Paykel HC 150 heated humidifier from the Respironics HH because the HC 150 runs at higher temperatures. I am getting some dry mouth symptoms, and was wondering if higher heat settings would reduce the dry mouth symptoms. My current heat setting is 5 (the maxim...

The CPAP price is $170. My average AHI for the past 7 days is 1.5, so I think I will pass for now. I have slept well for the past 5 weeks, so the therapy is working well, even without the tick marks on the flow limitation graph.

Encore Pro Flow Limitation

Last night my flow limitation was .9, but there were no marks on the graph in Encore Pro to show when they happened. My Encore indicates there were 8 flow limitations. I have never seen marks on the flow limitation graph in Encore Pro, just a total result per hour in the column on the right side of ...

variable breathing rate

Can anyone explain the variable breathing rate data on My Encore? I usually range 19-25%. Last night I was at 13.2%. Is the lower number better? How is the rate determined? MY AHI was 0.9 last night. Thanks for your input.

c-1 error

Does anyone know what this error code means, "c-1"? It caused my machine to beep and the buttons to lock. I had to unplug the machine to turn it off.

Red and puffy eyelids

After 2 months on CPAP, my eyelids are puffy and inflamed. Does anyone know if air can go from my nose up into my eyes? My opthamologist thinks I have an allergy, but doesn't know what it is. My eyelids are still red and puffy, even after several days using Patanol eye drops for allergies. Any sugge...
