Re: HELP!!

Firstly thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. The unit is turning on again but I am now getting an error message that the machine is receiving too much voltage and also the front of it is over heating which is causing an error that it is over heating and must turn off. Any idea on how to res...

Hey guys I have a bit of a problem with my S9 autoset. I am from Australia so have ordered my machine from secondwind because it was cheaper and although I did my sleep study and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea I did not return to get my prescription so secondwind was great in giving me a mach...

Re: New leak problems

I am looking at the Quattro full face mask, I can get it for just over $100 to Australia. Any feedback on that mask?

New leak problems

Hey guys I am currently using a nasal mask which has served me well for the last 18 months. I have recently updated to a new mask because my old one was worn out. I have recently lost 9 kg and have found I am now waking up with a dry mouth a few times during the night, thinking I might be leaking fr...

Re: Mask issues

I ended up ordering a replacement mask from the US. Hopefully doesn't take too long to get to Aus.

Re: Mask issues

Re: Aussie Newbie

Hey winter

I am an aussie too . From Queensland. My numbers were quite high and I was also diagnosed with severe OSA. The best thing I did was purchase a s9 autoset from second wind pipe. It was so much cheaper doing it that way

Re: Improve AHI

The reason my pressure is so high is because when I lower it my OSA gets a lot worse causing my AHI to spike even more.

Improve AHI

Hey guys I am using an S9 autoset and the last few weeks my AHI has been hovering around the 4 mark and I am wondering what I can do to possibly bring it down. I start my pressure on 16 but could go higher if needed. I have attached a few screenshots of the last couple of nights to see if someone co...

Is this possible?

Hey guys currently it is Summer here in Australia and there is no need to use my humidifier with my s9 autoset. Is it ok to plug the tube straight into the autoset and just not use the humidifier?

Re: Is this ok?

Sorry, when I said it was maxed out the machine was sitting on 20 and wouldn't go any higher.

Is this ok?

The other night I had a few drinks and went to sleep with my s9 autoset. I woke up in the morning and checked the data on my SD card and I had one obstructive apnea lasting 90 secs. This is the longest one I think I have seen on my machine and it was at max pressure as well. I am just wondering shou...
