UPDATE Re: HELP! Something has changed...

***UPDATE*** I just wanted to update everyone that I got a new mask, tubing, etc. and the problem has vanished! I can only attribute this to an over-used mask with blocked vents.

Have to look real close to see the 2 inner cones...one inside the other. I'll double-check. I know what you me...

Re: HELP! Something has changed...

Greetings, I have been using a CPAP successfully for almost 4 years. Almost a model patient actually - I took to it almost immediately and in all this time I have never slept without it. I am considered a "severe" OSA case at 34 events/hr. My AHI since I started therapy has never been over 1.0 and ...

Re: HELP! Something has changed...

My AHI since I started therapy has never been over 1.0 and is usually in the 0.3 - 0.5. range. What is your AHI and leak level since this "change"?

New Patient, S9 AutoSet User

Hi All! First time posting, but found this site to be VERY helpful as a new patient. For one, it kept me from ending up with a S9 Escape Auto instead of the AutoSet... HUGE difference! Last night I had my first night with the machine. Usage was 9 hours and my AHI was 0.4. I'm assuming that is good.....
