Re: Central vs Obstructive Episodes on S9

My AHI during my sleep study was over 50. Most were obstructive ... only about 10% were centrals. When on apap, I usually average below 5 total. My former machine didn't tell me the proportion of centrals vs obstructive episodes, hence my question with my new S9. I understand thta the S9 adjusts pre...

Re: Central vs Obstructive Episodes on S9

Thanks for the link regarding "central" apneas. It makes sense that I have some centrals. What I don't understand is that I had absolutely no obstructive apneas. I've never had that experience before. Plus, my S9 periodically kicked up from a low setting of 7 up to near 12 (my top pressure). I thoug...

Central vs Obstructive Episodes on S9

I have a new S9. I just downloaded my data for the first time using ResScan 3.11. I did a detailed report for last night, and it indicated that ALL of my apneas were central, and NONE were obstructive. This doesn't match my formal sleep studies. And, it doesn't match my experience which is that my t...

Re: ResScan3.10 Installlation Question

Thanks for the PM. The link to the software takes me to the correct site, but states that the page cannot be found. I wonder if there is a typo as it looks like two URLs are combined.

The manual link worked fine.

Thanks.

Re: ResScan3.10 Installlation Question

Thanks for the help with the driver.

I tried changing the 3.10 link to 3.11. It automatically kicks back to 3.10 and doesn't offer me the option of 3.11. Is there another link?

ResScan3.10 Installlation Question

I just bought the ResMed S9, and now I want to monitor my data. I just obtained ResScan 3.10 and I have an installation question. When installing, it asks if I want to install drivers for the ResScan USB Adapter or the ResScan Data Card Reader. I have a built in SD card reader in my computer, so do ...

What is the difference between ResScan 3.10 vs 3.11

I just purchased the S9 Autoset. I actually convinced the DME to provide software (minor miracle). They gave me the ResScan 3.10. But, I see some folks are commenting on a newer version (3.11). Is there a significant difference? Should I push for an update to 3.11, or is it only a minor upgrade from...

Re: S9 Autoset vs Respironics DS550 - Best Software?

I'm still looking for a consensus. Other suggestions/comments from those of you who are familiar with both software systems?

Thanks.

Re: S9 Autoset vs Respironics DS550 - Best Software?

Thanks. Anybody else have comments about comparing these machines and software? Any comments about accessing the Provider Level of Software. Would I gain anything by pursuing that. I like the idea of getting a good hardware summary without having to download info to my computer. But, the Respironics...

S9 Autoset vs Respironics DS550 - Best Software?

I am about to order a new and updated APAP. My DME carries the S9 Autoset and the Respironics DS550. I want to get the machine which offers the best software for daily tracking. I currently use an M Series Respironics with the Encore Pro Software, and I don't want a machine which offers me less abil...

Yes, my plan requires five years to replace a cpap. However, my original machine will not show use. Will they replace it if they know that I'm using a different machine that I purchased myself? Or, will they just say ... "Hey, we don't need to spend our money, 'cause you have a newer machine on your...

How/When Can I Get A New Xpap

I started on cpap treatment ~August, 2005. Initially, I was provided with a very basic cpap unit with no recording capabilities. After one year and poor response, I convinced my Sleep Doc to give me a prescription for a machine with recording capabilities, so I bought an APAP, got the software, and ...

Central Apnea

I've seen several posts in which the writer states that if they raise their pressure too much, they get more Central Apneas. How can you tell if you are having Centrals? I haven't seen a way to measure Centrals. I'm interested because I have raised my pressure higher than suggested by my sleep study...
