Hello all, I have been using my CPAP now for a few months and am in love with the machine. I am consistently under 5 for the AHI and feel so much better than the time when I did not have the machine. With that said though, I'm wondering if I have achieved the intended goal or should I actually be tr...

Just one night... Will be back home tomorrow night. Thanks for your input!

I'm on my first road trip with my S9 and can't find any distilled water in the fine town that I am in. Am I better off with no water, or can I use tap water? I just don't want to damage this wonderful machine (or me)!

Mike

Hi all,

Just thought I would put out a progress report...

Last 3 nights AHI = 7.6, 8.9, and 5.5

Last 3 nights Leak = Median was 0 all three nights, 95th Perc. was 4.6, 4.6 and 0 (Not sure what was different last night to get a 0)

Will press on and see how things go...

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate the information. So, an update... I decided to call the sleep center and see if they had any suggestions given the AHI that I was seeing.

I seem to remember more pressure at my face when I was in the sleep study. Could it be a bad thing tha...

Thank you for the replies. I did happen upon the software today after reading the forum for some time and noted the red line on the leak chart. I have updated my equipment listings as suggested earlier after finding that little area of the site. Thanks to all for the help so far. Night 4 approaching...

Hi, Thanks for the reply! My first reaction was to think, "If my wife knew that she could keep my mouth shut with a chin strap or with tape, that would have been done long ago!!!" So, based on your post, it seems that I should consider a different mask or should consider shaving in order to get a be...

Hi all, Complete n00b here, please indulge a few questions. I was recently diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and have been put on CPAP. I have a Resmed S9 Elite (humidified) with a Quattro full-face mask and have completed 3 nights of sleep with it on. The pressure dictated by the doctor...
