Re: First Night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Thanks all for the help.
I'm monitoring the smartcode data these days, trying to figure out the best suitable settings.

Re: Need Suggestion on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto setting

Maybe I need to tape the mouth to reduce the exhale puff? But I do not want to do that Any good suggestion how to reduce breathing from the mouth?

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

7/2 night update: the smart code is F0MF-FEJ-VAQ7 I bumped up the low pressure from 10 to 11. All the other settings remain unchanged. Compared to 7/1 report (smart code: FTMF-FCJ-5FQ9), the AHI is lowered from 7 to 6. But NRI is 9.25, which is .25 higher. EPI is way too higher, from 10 to 31. Accor...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Ok. I'll adjust the setting to 11 and see what happens. She plans to go back to China this Sep. I'll tell her how to read the smartcode from the machine. So she can provide me the code over the phone when she's in China. But I doubt if she can handle the software and email me the PDF file. That's on...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

I finally figured out what the issue is: MASK My mum tried Mirage FX Nasal mask with chinstrap last night. She slept quietly (without snoring) for almost 8 hours and no dry mouth! haha:o She got up this morning with a refreshed mind. It's really fantastic. The data also improved a lot. Here is the s...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Any chance of taking her to a sleep doc here in (I presume) North America for a second opinion? I know it's expensive, but she's your mum, after all. Sat up all night with you when you had the colic, wiped your nose when you had a cold . . . Yes. I'm thinking about it. I contacted a sleep doctor ye...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Hi Shirley, Looking at the new Smart Code Report, it shows super low leak line so no issues there. The 90/95th%tile pressure for 4.5 hours was 15.5 which kind of tells me the pressure needs to be raised. The AHI is also 15.5 which is way too high. Since you have the range set at 7-15.5, I consider ...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

I wonder what the second line in your report "Sofpap" refers to. I Googled it and it might indicate she was titrated using a bi-level machine. If that's the case, then others need to chime in because I know nothing of bi-level machines. That's a good point. When I take a second look at the titratio...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Can you tell us a bit more about your mother? Why it is you posting, and not your mom? How do you know she's still snoring? Is she involved in her therapy, cognitively capable of understanding why it is necessary? My mum lives in China and speaks only Chinese. She's currently visiting me and will s...

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Yeah. I'm worried about those numbers. They are pretty high. I'll ask her to wear more hours tonight to get more accurate numbers.

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Profile updated. You do not need to ask again.
She is using full face mask. Is it normal for people to snore when using CPAP/APAP machine? (even though she snores far less than usual)
The smart code for Friday night is FD8F-9QV-KQQ2.

Re: First night on Devilbiss Intellipap Auto, not comfortable

Friday night update: She felt comfortable with the machine at first and went to sleep. But after an hour she woke up and felt a little bit difficult to breathe again just like yesterday. Emilia/Slartybartfast, do you have any suggestions how to adjust my settings? Currently my setting is: Delay star...
