My OSA is being treated by the VA. They did a split night sleep study, and the next morning I went home with the equipment I have. All at no cost to me other than my drive to and from the VA Hospital. I have had no follow up with them at all and haven't heard that they want to see me about it. If yo...

Yep, thats all there is to it. You may have to set up the card with Encore Pro first, but mine started recording from the very beginning when I got it. There is nothing to enabe or disable as far as the recording is concerned.

Personally I think the following is true: 1) At least 60% of the group who use nasal pillow, and 40% of the group who use "nasal enclosed (Activa type)" masks have problems keeping their mouth closed when asleep with pressure on. 2) Of this group, maybe 25% have the problem solved with chin-straps....

At home testing is becoming a more viable option, however many insurance companies do not provide coverage for this testing. We have ordered a new PSG system for the hospital and with the system we are getting a smaller system that is designed to be a take home screening test. We hope that this will...

I had that problem at first with my UMFF. I now make sure that I clean the seal with vinegar/water each day and make sure that my face is thoroughly clean at night prior to "masking up" and I have no problems.
