Has anyone who has lost a lot of weight tried adjusting pressure downwards themselves and monitoring the machine data to see whether AHI stays low? As a way to get an idea of whether the weight loss has had an impact on the apnea? I've lost 45 lbs since starting CPAP almost 2 years ago and am wonder...

Aha- well I have answered part of my own question. Using the directions here for accessing the clinician menu (thank you!) I was able to switch to regular CFlex. Going to try it out tonight!

Hi all, I just recently "upgraded" my MSeries Pro to the new System One Pro CPAP and am thinking that something is amiss. With my old machine, my breathing is so effortless I sometimes don't even feel like I'm hooked up-- I would have CFlex set to 3 (max) setting. But this new CFlex "plus" is drivin...

Thanks all-- I swapped out the SD card with a different one my DME sent and that fixed the beeping issue. Now it just beeps once on startup and stop, much better. Still working on a solution for the lit icon!

Argh! That is unbelievable. I was thinking about duct tape but hoping I was wrong! I am so going to write them a letter. Really makes me wonder if anyone at Respironics actually tries these before they market them! Now-- about the beeping-- I just called my DME today because both mornings that I've ...

Hi, Just got a PR System One Pro this week and am trying to figure out if there is a way to completely turn off the lighted humidifer icon-- anyone know? I know that the humidifier number settings turn off after startup, and the humidifier icon light dims at the same time-- but it stays lit. I had t...

I'm using small square band-aids on my nose bridge-- still get some redness, but nothing like before, so they have made my Comfort Gel nasal tolerable for now. I'm going to try a nasal pillow mask this week, though...

Finally, since the card only saves 7 days of detailed data, how do I create/save a file each 7 days so I can go back a few weeks and compare daily data? Howdy, I'm new at this too, almost a month in now, but wanted to let you know FYI that I have found that it's the software, not the card, that won...

Wow, this is all very interesting. So if I can manage to get copies of my sleep studies and results from my sleep doctor, is it likely that something in there could serve as a "prescription" for purposes, say, of buying a mask on my own from cpap.com?

Thanks everyone. I can't adjust the pressure as I've got a cpap, not an apap. But I am wondering now about this mouth breathing possibility. I wouldn't have thought that I do, and I didn't during my sleep studies-- if I tried taping for a night and the leaks went markedly down, that I suppose would ...

Do I need to take my prescription with me? After asking twice, the sleep doctor's office said there is no real "prescription" they can fax me. I do have the report from the sleep doctor authorizing my CPAP. Is this normal-- for there not to be a "real" prescription? I'm a newbie to this stuff (goin...

Hi everyone, Been on CPAP just over 2 weeks now-- adjusted to the machine fairly easily but working on some mask leaks. I purchased the reader and software and would appreciate some guidance from the experts here as to how to read these charts and what they can tell me about how things are going. I'...

Thanks for all the input. Wish I had the same success as you (LSAT) with the Comfort Gel. As a last resort I tried boiling it yesterday to "fit" it to my face, and while it might be a bit better, I still have the same problem that I have to crank it tight to get rid of the leaks that spring up every...

Hi: I'm curious about how many masks you "tried" when you first started CPAP (say, within your first 30 days?)-- and how long did you give it before you decided it was time to try another? Here's my deal: will have been on CPAP for two weeks tomorrow. Used a ComfortGel nasal for the titration, and s...

Is there a way to use the M Series heated humidifier in passover mode? I am new to this too and didn't see that as an option?
