As the years are going on, we find that we are waking each other up every night for one reason or another. My hubby wakes me up because he is a tosser and turner and loud sl...

Re: Encore and Centrals?

It will only record Non-Responsive (centrals) if you are running in Auto mode. The Auto mode will raise the pressure trying to restore breathing. If it does not work it will record it as Non-Responsive. As I understand it. Jerry I do use the auto. That just makes me feel even better as my numbers k...

Encore and Centrals?

Good Morning everyone. And HAPPY NEW YEAR.



My question is related to the Encore Report I read every morning.

Does it show Centrals some place

I think someone mentioned that Non-Responsive Apnea/Hypopnea Index was for Centrals??

Re: Medic Alert for ONLY apnea?

littleredtree, If you go through Medic Alert, they will help you decide what to put on the bracelet/necklace. In my case, I have "Sleep Apnea" on my bracelet. Medic Alert's phone number and my member number is also on the bracelet so the emergency responders know to call Medic Alert for further inf...

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and concern. I will try to get a better pic in morning of my little contraption. I will get some good lights on it then. It is like a cave.
