Diagnosed 8 yrs ago at 44. Tried CPAP but could't handle it. Decided that I got a better sleep with sleep apnea than by trying to sleep through the night with a mask and hose attached. Blood pressure above normal the past couple years, headaches, memory issues etc. Went for another sleep study, trie...

Thanks for the post, Brian. It's good to hear about success like yours. I am halfway into my second month without missing a night but it has not always been easy to do. Frustrating at times but it has been getting easier. There are actually some nights now when I sleep right through for over seven h...

Adjusting the pressure is very simple. Press the main dial once to have the display light up. Then press and hold the 'Setup Menu Button' (the little silver one beside the dial with the two little check marks) and at the same time press and hold down the dial for at least 3 seconds. Then you should ...

Regarding the whining noise with the S9. I know I initially said I love the machine but mine has been bothering me a lot the last few nights. I tend to sleep on my side or stomach and the whining noise comes right through the mattress even though the machine is under the bed. It is higher pitched wh...

I used the S8 Autoset for about a month as I was on a trial. Then, when I purchased, I went with the S9. This machine is amazing! It is so quiet and I find it very easy to breathe with. I couldn't believe the difference in the sound level even between these two machines. For me, noise was part of wh...

DHC,

Thank you so much for the help! I followed the link, made the changes and it worked perfectly!
I hope this will assist others who have the same question down the road.

Kind regards,

I just recieved my new S9 machine and have the Rescan software on my computer. I downloaded the one night's data from the SD card but for some reason I get a message saying that the detailed graph is not available. All the other reports and data seem fine. I am assuming this is the report that shows...

Roboaug, Regarding your second question, I was also a mouth sleeper when I started using a nasal pillow mask. It didn't take me too long to stop opening my mouth since the CPAP therapy made it much easier to breath through my nose. I prefer the nasal pillow mask as I feel much less claustrophobic wi...

Hi Laurie, I was reading through all the posts and your replies and thought I would just add a couple comments from one who is fairly new to the CPAP therapy but can relate to some of your comments. Regarding the feeling of suffocating and wanting to take some deep breaths, I had that same feeling w...

Emilia,
Where does one find the software for the S9 and how much does it cost? I will be making a purchasing decision soon regarding the actual machine. I have heard a lot of good things about the S9.

That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you to all who have commented. It really does make me feel supported. Just to clarify bit and fix some errors with my previous information. My RDI is actually 16, not 14 and the machine is actually the S8 AutoSet™ II CPAP Machine. I was trying to quickly get the profile in quickly and tried to...

Hi Emilia and thank you for your reply and the advice in how to set things up with the user control panel. I wasn't aware of this as I am a total newbie here. I did post some of my information now but am not totally sure of the humidifier or software yet. My Respiratory Disturbances in the sleep stu...

I have been using CPAP now for over 3 weeks consistently for over 3 weeks now. I am up to over 5 hours a day on average. I use the S8 with humidifier and the Comfortlite 2. What I am finding is that I feel just as tired during the day as when I started. Has anyone else had this experience and have t...
