All these machines can measure is air flow or breathing. They cannot measure sleep status. Our awake breathing is much more irregular than asleep breathing and these machines see this irregular breathing and think that it is some sort of apnea event if it lasts long enough and meets certain criteria...

To my eye it doesn't look like you were asleep when those items were flagged.
The breaths are too irregular to be asleep breathing.

I have an Airsense 10 right now. If I had access to an 11, would that be a decent replacement? I take it I would just copy the settings that are on the 10? Yes, one of my spare machines is the AirSense 11 AutoSet. I got this machine last month and I am using it right now. My other machines are the ...

I take it that you did without cpap for X number of nights prior to the home sleep study....Is this correct? The fact that you felt horrible without cpap makes me really question the results since you know you didn't sleep well that night because of all the storms and stuff. It's a drawback to home ...

If you didn't have EEG leads stuck to your face and head then the device just guesstimated the sleep status.

I wouldn't trust these results without valid sleep status determination.

Did your home sleep study measure if you were asleep or not? Probably didn't and with what happened you didn't sleep much and if that's the case the home study probably isn't all that accurate. All your Nov report tells us is that while on the cpap machine your therapy was doing a great job. It does...

Once you were on Medicare, did you need to have a sleep study done before you could get CPAP supplies (filters, masks, tubing, etc.)? Was preauthorization required for the sleep study? I was on Medicare before I ever had (or thought about having) a sleep study.... so I don't know about the preautho...

have also noticed that I get a lot of CA's when I am awake (large concentration near beginning and end of graphs). Any event (whether central, OA or hyponea) that gets flagged when we aren't sound asleep simply doesn't count. You MUST be asleep for them to be real and thus matter. You DON'T have TE...

Turns out Apria, despite claiming they have the Bleep mask ready for order, doesn't carry them. You might contact Stuart and tell him that Apria isn't carrying the Bleep/Eclipse despite their agreement to offer it. Stuart told me a long time ago that Apria was on board but I rolled my eyes....they ...

No.
I never have but some people are super sensitive to various scents or off gassing and they do better if they wash first and let the mask sit and off gas for a while.
Though I suspect that the majority of people just open the package and slap the mask on.

It is my understanding that ResMed no longer includes a SD card with its shipment of a new machine. They are going all in on using MyAir instead of SD cards so they tell people that SD cards are no longer needed. I don't think that DMEs are getting those SD cards like they used to get and pull out a...

There is no pillow mask (or any other mask for that matter) that has the vent holes pointing anywhere near upwards towards the eyes. They simply don't vent to the eyes BUT if that vented air hits an arm or the bed covers or something then it could potentially bounce towards the eyes. Look at where t...

Why do you think that you need to try ASV?

My goal is to achieve 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep . Has anyone experienced similar issues or have insights on how to improve sleep continuity with CPAP therapy You want to close your eyes and go to sleep and sleep soundly for 7-8 hours with no awakenings at all during those hours??? Is that co...
