Re: OSA Caused by Nasal Congestion?

I just dab a little vapo rub in my nose and I breath clear all night with my nasal pillows.

Airsense 11 Autoset climate control?

So if I understand the Climate setting (Auto/manual) works like this...
Auto- machine does the settings for hose temp and humidity itself no matter if I changed these setting.
OR
Manual- now MY settings to hose temp and humidity take effect.

Is this correct?

Re: N 20 mask mod

I've been using my mod for the past few days with no effects to the mask function or my Oscar data. All is normal and no extra sounds or blast of air shooting out.
I call it a success on all fronts.

Re: N 20 mask mod

I guess if you don't pass out from Carbon Dioxide poisoning, the flap is doing a good job. The manufacturers do a lot of testing to determine the correct amount of venting for their masks. It's dangerous to mess with it. THis mod has nothing to do with venting. The air volume being vented out has p...

N 20 mask mod

I like the N20 nasal mask EXCEPT that it shoots air out of the front port very strong. I would call it a blast with my pressure at 10. If I turn sideways, I can see my wife's hair actually blowing. Needless to say she does not like it at all. So after playing around, I found a perfect solution. Take...

Re: Oscar data import problem

Just checked and my PC (not Win) is all up to date.
So how long does it take others for their data card to update in Oscar? I'm guessing 10 sec or less.

Oscar data import problem

Using the latest version of Oscar on a Win 64, when I go to import my data card from Airsense 11, the import window s l o w l y moves along. It reads "cataloging EDF" and takes over 3 minutes to complete.
My 8gb card is formatted with the Airsense and only has less then 1 month use on it.

Any ideas?

Re: P30i vs n/p10?

I just went from a P10 to an N20 5 days ago. The P10 was great but left my nose sore in the morning, and yes I did use the correct nasal size (large). Switched to the N20 nasal pillow design and now have a comfortable mask working very nice. I also use a Scuncie for my mouth. Both are a nice combo f...

Re: AUtosense 11 problems

I just wanted to end this thread with good news. Last night my AHI is 0.75. It looks like I'm dialed in now finally and feeling 100% better.

Re: AUtosense 11 problems

Wow, I feel very good finally! I think with your help Pugsy, things are dialed in good now. I used EPR at 3 last night with the P10 and got this result. My problem is definitely mask leaking. However I am going to replace my mask with an Airfit N20. the P10 is getting a lot better to use, but I don'...

Re: AUtosense 11 problems

I tried he large pillows on the P10 with chinstrap. I also dabbed a little vicks on my nose before using. In the morning my nose irritation was only slight which went away quickly and I only had dryness under my upper lip. Best feeling so far after sleep. Not perfect, but I felt as if I actually sle...

Re: AUtosense 11 problems

Last night I tried to sleep on my side and I used my Airfit P10 mask for the 1st time. It left me with a little sore nose and a dry mouth in the morning, but my chin strap did fall off a few times in the night. I did set my EPR to 1 fulltime and set min at 9. My AHI did fall but I can't say I felt a...

Re: AUtosense 11 problems

In the 2nd graph I purposely started slept on my stomach. I don't remember if I was on my back when I woke up. I did do the mask fit on the machine and it reported the fit was good. I use the heated hose set on auto and the humidifier also at auto. Tonight I am going to try the nasal pillow mask and...

AUtosense 11 problems

My numbers not so good and I would like some feedback please. First graph is usage out of the box. DME pressure set 5-19. Next graph I changed pressure to 8-18 like I had with my dreamstation. I find the Resmed air hose is quite stiff and aiding in my mask being pushed around causing large leaks. My...
