Re: Just started on ASV, looking for input

0.76 AHI ! Those ASV's are amazing. I've had similar great results averaging about 2.0 or less. I take it, like me, you had mostly central apneas that the ASV is very effective at nearly eliminating.

Re: Resmed AirTouch N31i vs. AirFit N30i comments please

I really was just wondering whether AirTouch N30i users found anything particularly special about the mask that made them prefer it over the AirFit N30i that I've been using for a long time. Thanks for your comment about the extra cloth covering. I too doubt that there's much added benefit. Be well,...

Yes, Granny, but not much there so far as comparing these masks. Have you used these masks?

Resmed AirTouch N31i vs. AirFit N30i comments please

I've been using the Respironics DreamWear Nasal cradle mask and the similar ResMed AirFit N30i nasal cradle mask for a few years now -- adjusted for a somewhat loose, comfortable fit and accepting some leakage. I see ResMed has made some changes to the AirFit and offers the reconfigured mask as a ne...

Re: CPAP Weight Gain?

Just read what your doc told you about CPAP users and weight gain. I've been using the machines for 10 years now. My weight has varied up and down within a range of about 155 to 175. None of those shifts could be attributed to my use of CPAP or ASV machines. But I have noticed what drives those weig...

Re: SD card for Resmed Aircurve 10 vauto

First, it's best to turn the power off. Look at the left front edge of your machine, Lenny. Use your thumb nail to grab and pull open the little (1/4") white tab and gray cover. That will expose a slot in which the cpap memory card is located. Push in on the edge of the card and release it. It shoul...

Re: Thought I had adjusted well, then came... the pressure

Don't be afraid to go back to see your doc or his technician to recheck the settings and ask more questions. You're new at this and it will be good for your comfort level. All the best,

Re: ASV users RESMED aircurv 10 asv vs S9 Adapt

I was just prescribed ASV today. I won’t get it until next month, and I don’t know a whole lot about it. (2 years on APAP.) This was the only thread I found that was related. I’ll keep checking back. I had a consistent AHI level of about 13 with centrals and obstructives being about equal while usi...

Re: Trying Hard Not to Commit Suicide

I don't understand you... why are yiou not asking your doctor these question? It is vital that you know what's going on with your health but you ask strangers on the net about it? We're not doctors, we know nothing about your personal history, state of health now, anything at all that's meaningful....

Re: Need advice: AirCurve 10 stopped working

Two people suggested I check the power brick. I have a voltmeter and measure no output. Now to get a replacement. It has been over a year since I got the machine. Hopefully it's still under warranty.

Need advice: AirCurve 10 stopped working

My AirCurve 10 ASV started up last night and quit within a few seconds of operation. Anybody know where the fuse or circuit breaker is or has other advice for me on how to troubleshoot?

For the non-techies among us: 1. Would this work to transfer data from an A10 to a computer running Sleepyhead without having to insert the SD card into the computer each time? 2.
