Re: cpap software

I believe there is an Australian company that can ship this.
I think that the company stopped selling the software in the states.

use search for: Resmed software.

Re: Can anyone help me interpret my son's sleep study report?

Hi Single Mom, I'm happy to see you being proactive in trying to get a clear understanding of your son's medical conditions. Many of us here in the forums didn't find out till much later in life that we had a sleep issue; I'm 34 and found out 6 months ago. early in life, I too was also diagnosed wit...

Re: Changed to FFM / AHI is Up--Need Suggestions

Sounds like the way your mask fits your face is similar to mine. I got very lucky and found the Fisher Paykel FORMA FF mask to the perfect fit for me. I tried the other ones and their seemed to be leaks around my eyes and nose bridge. I even tried the comfort gel FF masks and those had similar leaks...

Re: how do you shut your mouth? which tape do you use?

well one way to do this can be to try a mask that's full face that helps with it.

the forma ff mask by f&p kind of cups the lower part of your jaw and it keeps my mouth shut.
I have an overbite and it seems to keep my mouth closed quite well.

just an idea,

Re: AHI question...

1. Are you using the resmed software to get a better picture of what's going on?

2. are there any leaks? if so, you have to fix them if they are significant.

3. is your mouth open during sleep? sometimes dry mouth can tell you if that's the case.

Re: what's the pressure formula

thank you all for providing that info.

I've scoured the web and they refer to it sometimes as a "Regression Formula."

thanks a million.

what's the pressure formula

Hi, I see some sleep studies allow for a titration study on a separate or same night. But my study didn't allow for that. instead, they used a formula to calculate my pressure based on my neck size, weight, & i think ahi. Does anyone know what the formula is for figuring out pressure? thanks, VVE

Re: F & P Full Face Models

If you rotate the hose vertically, over your head, then sometimes i get a hiss. i HAVEN'T figured out if it's the pressure from the cpap combined with my exhale or just the pressure of the cpap. It's not annoying, but it's avoidable. the squeaky elbow just started on my forma after i cleaned it one ...

Re: F & P Full Face Models

hI, I've used 2 different masks before i got the Forma. The forma was the best choice for me b/c it cups my chin so i don't open my mouth. It also fits the contours of my face better than the other 2 i tried. I also don't get much if any real leak issues. it's a great buy. https://www.cpap.com/produ...
