Thanks for the responses. I am checking it as soon as I wake up, and NO DATA for day, week, month, and year. I suppose I could talk to the DME about it, but technically I am not supposed to be able to access this stuff in the first place.

Any other ideas?

S8 Vantage not recording data?

I've been on my machine for about 5 days now, and for the first couple of days, I could check my Eficacy Results in the morning. However, for the last 3 nights, the results just say "NO DATA". Does anyone know what the problem is?

Re: Got my machine today...

Eric, I'm a little confused. The DME should have set the machine for the pressure the doctor prescribed -- 11. If the machine really is set for CPAP mode, and if you are seeing a pressure of 9.x each morning when you look at the Efficacy data, it sounds like it might be one of these things: 1. Mach...

Well, after two nights with the machine, I can definitely say that I'm sleeping better. My wife said no snoring. It is taking me a while to get to sleep though. I imagine that will improve as I get more used to the machine. I checked my results, the first night AHI was 15.5, last night was 12.3 (3.3...

Last night was my first night too. It took me a long time to fall asleep, and I feel like I didn't actually sleep very much. But I do feel OK this morning. The wife says I slept like a rock. Who knows?

Good luck with your treatment! I'm sure after a couple of weeks it will seem like nothing.

Got my machine today...

...and I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep. My machine information should be in my profile now. After setting up the machine and trying it out, I have a couple concerns. First, the mask is different than the one that I used during my test, and it doesn't seem to fit quite as well. This was t...

Newbie with CPAP on the way

Greetings, everyone. I'm happy to have found such an active community on this subject, and would like to introduce myself. I'm 36 years old, and I can't remember a time when I was full of energy. I'm sure I used to be that way when I was younger, but not now. I am always tired. On weekends, I don't ...
