Re: Is ViHealth working? Any other methods to get O2 Ring data? & other questions about O2 Ring.

I'm using O2 ring for almost 2 years now. Ring itself works flawlessly. Unfortunately recently I did updated the ViHealth app and it was a total disaster!!! From that point on I have no access to the data on my ring. I wish I knew how to find and download older version! Wellue help team is clueless...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

On the day I received my Wellvue O2-ring, 3 months ago, I was concerned about the possibility of personal identification data being sent via the internet when plugged into my PC to ????? I sent 3 emails to the makers, the support and the software people asking what was in the unusually large connec...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

.
Thanks Pugsy for taking a zoomed look at 12/7!! - It's good to get the confirmation that I seem to be identifying most of the SWJs & false events correctly.

Will get that MAX up & see what more I can do with the MIN as long as I tolerate it.

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

. My week-long experiment (that was suggested by RobySue1 on 12/5/22) is now finished. The thing that most catches my attention from the data you posted is this: Your flow limitations disappear almost completely once your pressure is 12cm. In other words, you may need to bump the min pressure up a b...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

Unlike the previous nights when I was Supine more of the night, last night my hips were tolerating side sleeping better than usual. Consequently, less of the night was spent on my back . . . and the AHI was lower. I feel like I had a good night's sleep (and know that I was in REM for some of the nig...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

Now let's hope you can do something to temper down make those apnea clusters. Am I right in thinking that when you're on your back you also snore? That pressure rise, just before the cluster right after 02:30, didn't come in response to a minor flow limitation. I totally agree with robysue's sugges...

Ozij,

Definitely better than when I was crazy-obsessed with staying off my back & dealing with pain!

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

. Here are my results of night 2 of "the experiment" (suggested by RobySue1) of allowing myself to sleep in the most comfortable position, even if Supine, and to see what happens to AHI, event categories, and pressure.

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

Yes, Ozij . . . I was Supine when I went to bed around 10pm (because my hips were bothering me), and woke up 6 hours later Supine, so I "assumed" I was on my back the whole session.

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

Re. my comment that "obviously the pressure surges in Session 1 caused the large leaks with my Zest Nasal Mask (my mouth tape stayed intact). I don't think so. Your first pressure surge, during the major cluster starting at 23;40+ did not cause a leak. Oh yes, you're so right!! So perhaps it's just ...

The thing that most catches my attention from the data you posted is this: Your flow limitations disappear almost completely once your pressure is 12cm.

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

The one thing that catches my eye may be nothing or may be something. This is anecdotal input of one person, where everyone varies. I found the "soft" setting was associated (not necessarily causal) with a much busier FL chart. I turned it on "standard" Lynn, thanks for mentioning that. I have ofte...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

I finally got OSCAR working again after I replaced my Card Reader. So I've been slowly increasing the Minimum Pressure - last night it was 10.8. I've also been experimenting with levels of EPR (which I need to reduce the Flow Limitations). I've found that EPR 3 causes too many Central Apneas. EPR of...
