Philips S1 Odor

My S1 ran out of water .. I didn't check it for a couple days, after I started getting an odor. It smells sort of like a burnt rubber smell .. I've since added water, changed the hose, mask and tube, but the smell persists. I even removed the humidifier and still smell it .. has anyone heard of or h...

Re: CPAP over Auto??

Hi All .. Tied up at work. Yes, I'm aware that this is a trial period .. I plan on raising the pressure setting range from 10-14 and check tomorrow to see how the numbers look. I was really in this to see if my pressure should be lowered since I lost a lot of weight, but looks like I'm still in the ...

Re: CPAP over Auto??

Avi, Here's the snore with CPAP and with Auto. Maybe it's the fact that I had a CPAP machine for so many years with constant pressure that I've adapted to it .. Auto for some reason is just not as comfortable. I'm not sure how to read this but I'm assuming that I get more snoring on Auto. Min is set...

CPAP over Auto??

I've been trying my machine in AutoIQ mode for the past couple of nights and I must say I'm more comfortable with a constant flow. I've been using a constant flow for 8 yrs and never had an option, but I find it harder to breathe, and I'm just not as relaxed. I turned on AutoIQ to find out if my pre...

Re: Help Understanding SleepHead Data - Still a newbie

Hi Pugsy, Thanks for the tips .. I was able to set AutoIQ and let it run for 2 hrs before work today. I got a lot of events (don't know what they are yet but the marks are there), pressure started at 3 and worked its way up to 12 .. I'll go 2 more days to see where it ends up. I was orginally set at...

Re: How to Activate AutoIQ

Thanks Tigrpal, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I'll try the setup once I return from work and then set it up for a few days and see how it goes.

Re: How to Activate AutoIQ

Just so that everyone knows, my insurance did purchase the machine outright, and I paid my co-pay so I own it outright. Or if possible send me a private message, I would like to try AutoIQ ..

Re: How to post Sleepy Head Graphs

Hey Avi, I forgot .. duh. I've only had my machine 10 days and don't know how to read the data. All I know is that my AHI should be 5 or less .. I don't know what RERA's are .. maybe you can tell me how my leaks look from the graph, also something I don't understand yet. http://i46.tinypic.com/25jwg...

How to Activate AutoIQ

Hi, I'd like to learn to start AutoIQ on my PRS1 Pro. I've had the machine for 10 days and from the little that I know I'm getting good numbers. My pressure is set at 14, but I haven't had a sleep study since '04. My old machine was a ResMed S6 (a brick) and I'm finally able to see some numbers. Not...

Re: How to post Sleepy Head Graphs

Kaiasgram, I got as far as uploading the picture to photobucket, but no option for generating code for the picture (jpeg from windows paint). I'm using Windows XP Professional (yeah I know upgrade to Win 7 coming in a month or so) ... Or maybe because you have a Mac, you have the option. I've gone i...

How to post Sleepy Head Graphs

I'm trying to post my graphs from SH, but don't know how. I'm trying to learn to read the data and get some thoughts from some of you on how it's going. Can someone tell me how to post anything other than text on this site??
