How do you get data on Resmed Pro C Flex?

Question:

I see where others are able to get AHI , leakage and other reports from their CPAP machines. I read owners manual and they are listed however, I am not able to toggle to get that option. Did the DME disable? If so, why?

Re: New Rx in hand...new DME search. Help?

My experience with DME's is mixed. Some of the technicians are knowledgable, caring and truly understand CPAP and will explain pros and cons of varying masks and systems.

Sometimes I do remember taking it off as the noise or leaks kept me awake - other times I am sure I did it in my sleep. I think as you become more accustomed to sleeping with your mask e.g. eliminating leaks, noise, get...

Re: How many people have trouble falling asleep?

I switched to the FX nasal pillow, used it the last two nights- most comfortable mask I have used yet, quieter and no leakage! Problem I have is I had almost zero sleep last two nights which surprised me due to how well the FX felt. Perhaps 12 is too much air for a nasal pillow system? Anyway, thank...

Trust me, I tried everything to quit and this smokeless, spit-less product has been in Sweden for over 200 yrs. Note: the American version ( Camel Snus) is full of sugar and le...

Mask Question -New to Forum

Hi, Great information here - better than DME! I have been on CPAP about 6 months. 2 sleep studies at U of M - AHI 30- machine setting 12 and I ramp up from 3. I started with FF mask since I was concerned about ability to breathe out of my mouth - FF mask was cumbersome as I toss/turn and created lea...
