Re: High AHI values - Resmed Autoset 8

I lowered my min pressure setting from 7cm to 9cm on my Autoset, the AHI value has been in the 6-6.5 range in the last 2 nights! I feel much better and not as tired!
Would like to thank for your suggestions!

Re: High AHI values - Resmed Autoset 8

I would like to add that my fixed CPAP pressure during my initial sleep study was 16cm, I had 55 events/hr. I initially had a regular CPAP machine at first with lower AHI readings. My sleep doctor prescribed an Auto CPAP after because I get less events on sleeping on my side, but I find that when I ...

Re: Frustration with APAP, keep taking off mask at night!

hi foxnewsfan, I know that the cushion on the Quattro can be replaced, my disability benefits allow me to get a new CPAP mask every 6 months. I do adjust the adjustment knob to take the pressure off my nose. It seems for me a psychological issue or when I feel tired, I get irritated and hard to tole...

Re: Frustration with APAP, keep taking off mask at night!

popi, I seem to think that it could be my Quattro mask, it's quite uncomfortable on some nights, it hurts the bridge of my nose! I've had the mask for about 6 months. The pillows could be wearing out. Used to wear a L size but now I switched to M it gets a better seal than the L size. Used APAP for ...

Re: Frustration with APAP, keep taking off mask at night!

Thanks for your comments stormynights, I turned off EPR and will use straight pressure with no EPR tonight to see if it makes any difference.
I know I will get some input and possible solutions to my APAP issues.

Re: How to clean a Resmed autoset II water chamber?

Quoting from the ResMed User H4i guide, to use: a solution of one part vinegar to 10 parts water. 1) Fill yellow cleaning plug (comes with the humidifier,looks like a flat plastic dish) that you fill with to the rim with vinegar and pour into empty water chamber. 2) Add clean water to the water cham...

Hi muse, I do have my mask selection to MIRFULL for the Quattro on the Autoset II, I felt no leaks when doing the mask fit and the mask fit on my machine said it was an Excellent fit, it is a new mask, my new hose has no leaks!
