Re: REMStar Auto A-Flex turning on/off

Here's what I found: Auto Off: Off Machine hours: ~5300 Large leak: 0% AHI: 1.8 (both 7 and 30 day avg) So even if Auto Off was enabled, I don't think I'd be triggering it. As an aside, and AHI of 1.8 is pretty good isn't it? I was diagnosed as "severe" with an RDI of about 60 (not a typo) and oxy s...

Chin strap vs fuller-coverage mask?

I'm confused by how that would work, seeing as how there's certainly no need to open the jaw to still have a significant amount of air escape though the mouth. Personally, I build up enough p...

Hello from a another new user

Hopefully I have my equipment filled out correctly ... So I thought I'd introduce myself, and work my way into participating more regularly. Here's a brief summary of my OSA-related situation: - I'm 46, not overweight, father and brother both have OSA - I've known for years (15-20) that I snore, sto...
