S9 autoset whistle sound

Does anyone else who owns the S9 auto, hear any wort of whistle noise on exhaling? It seems to be right near the end of the exhale. And it only seems to happen at my starting pressure of 10. And goes away once the pressure climbs.

Rescan Sleep Events

So I finally got my Rescan to work after buying an sd card reader, it finally read the sd card and I loaded my data onto the program. So now you mouse over the events in the summary graph, and it tells you how many events you had in that given night. My question is how do you know what those events ...

Re: My Rescan program help!!

Even when I went and made a new patient from scratch, it gave me no option to choose or add a flow generator or choose a machine. I'm wondering if I should go out and buy a sd card reader for the usb port and see if that works.

Re: try to test me s9's apap technology

thanks for the answers. I think the only proof I have that my machine is working is the fact that when I look at the results the next morning it gives me an average pressure from the whole night. Proving that it was giving me a higher pressure than my lowest setting. And the other way I know it's wo...

try to test me s9's apap technology

I try testing my apaps self adjusting technology by holding my breath or simulating snoring etc... and the on screen number doesn't climb. Does anyone else's number change before your eyes when you try this?

I just wanted to see the magic in action. And also want to make sure I don't have a lemon.

Re: leak rate 7.2l/min on s9 autoset ...what does this mean?

Boston Guy, you don't need to know the vent rate for your mask with the ResMed S9 machines. You need to make sure that the "Mask" setting on your S9 Autoset is set correctly for your mask type, though. The choices are Pillows, Full Face, Nasal or Nasal (Ultra). The machine will automatically subtra...

Re: leak rate 7.2l/min on s9 autoset ...what does this mean?

That's telling you how much air escaping in excess of what should be venting out of the exhaust port on the mask. My machine (S8 Autoset II) measure in L/sec. 7.2 l/min / 60 = 0.12 l/sec That doesn't sound too bad, but you will have to see what the vent rate is for your particular mask at the press...

First night on S9 autoset

I just had my first full night on my new S9 autoset and have to say that I dreamed a lot more than usual. I also remember a lot more of my dreams. I accessed the sleep report by holding down the info + checks buttons for 3 seconds. It is saying my Leak is 7.2L/min- could someone tell me what that me...

Re: Went to Get my New APAP Today

I'll first try seeing if a different DME has the s9 available right now. If they do I already have insurance approval to get a new machine. It's crazy how far behind this DME industry seems. A new model of something comes out a year ago and your just getting it now??? Maybe I'm just dealing with a b...

Re: Went to Get my New APAP Today

Yea I am calling my insurance Monday to find other dme providers. I hope there's a place out there that is run by some professionals possibly. Maybe some people that actually know about the products their selling. Someone that knows more than I do, that would be amazing!!
