Re: Sleepyhead - Avg Leak Rate?

When I was using a PR1, the avg leakrate reported was in the 60-70 and was concerned. Apparently the PR1 reports "total leakage". Found on the Resmed website that the Quatrro mask design venting rate was 54 for a pressure of 20, so your leakrate appears to be very low which is good. Now that I have ...

Re: Morning Leakage?

I also had the same problem with my Mirage Quattro full face max. Started using RemZZZ cotton liners and they have worked wonders. No leakage especially in the wee hours of the morning. The only drawback, is that they cost almost $1/day https://www.cpap.com/productpage/remzzzs-full-face-cpap-mask-li...

Re: My Favorite CPAP/BiPAP/APAP Machine Manufacturer Is?

I have tried 2 types, a Respironics PR1 Remstar Pro 450 and the ResMed S9 Elite. The Resmed beat the PR1 hands down. The S9 is quieter, the humdidty comntrol is far superior control, and the exhale pressure reduction is much better than the PR1. In addition the S9 looks, size and data features far e...

Re: Respironics System One question

My DME (part of my employer since I work for a hospital) is wanting me to use the Respironics System One (S1) as it has the modem installed and will transmit the data on a daily basis. My question is this. I am a data junkie (i'm in Clinical IT) and love to analyze information. I don't have an issu...

Respironics Remstar Pro 450 AHI calculations

Just got my new Respironics System ONE, Remstar Pro. Wondering when the machine calculates AHI for the previous nights sleep. Shortly after I woke up this morning, I checked the AHI result for the nights sleep, and the AHI indicated the previous night's AHI 7.7. Yesterday, (the first day of use), th...
