Same thing happened to me, minus the cursing. I was given a F & P unit with a mask. Asked for an S9 Autoset and was told not available, we dont use them. I didn't know enough to shop around, so I got the crappy F & P with no monitoring. UGH. Didn't know how bad I had it until I tested a respironics ...

You need to get a hose management system. This is what i use and it's the best think I've bought so far. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/HoseBuddy-CPAP-Hose-Suspension-System.html I'm sorry, but that thing is a total rip off. $3.00 worth of materials and they are trying to fleece people for $50.00...

Actually, its a Windows XP netbook.

I did just that, flipped the tab down on the card, and read it 3x since this thread, fri, sat, and sun nights, and when done, ejected the card, flipped the tab back to write mode, put it back in the machine, and have had no more problems since then. Thanks all.

More good info. I didn't eject the card since I shut down the laptop and then pulled the card out. I don't know what else could have done anything to the card though as it is a personal computer, no encryption set up for removeable devices, nothing like that. Oh well, I'll just back it up now before...

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. It was only 3 days of info and not really missed.

I might have missed it in the instructions somewhere, but I turned off my Autoset, pulled the card out, plugged it into my laptop, and pointed the sleephead software at it and read the card and got my info. Awesome. Then I shut the laptop off, pulled the card out, put it into my autoset, and it said...

my comments are in blue I wouldn't worry about the fluxuation. My interest peaks at why you were recogmended a pressure of 19, when the machine only has to put out 16 to treat the apnea. Still, have comfort that you are getting low AHI readings with a lower pressure rating. It would be interesting ...

My S9 says Autoset near the power button so it looks like I'm golden. Pictures of the Elite online say elite in the same spot. All I know is, when using the F&P 234, I always have dry mouth, no matter what level of humidification I use. When I use the respironics or resmed, no dry mouth. I don't eve...

Is the elite a cpap only machine? I think thats what I got, not an autoset, but an elite. It also appears, from looking at my literature, that The respironics model I had was a remstar pro 450 system 1 cpap with automode. Are none of these true apap machines? Also, regarding the dry mouth, it only o...

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my original post. Let me address some of the questions. My highest for the night is 16 starting on the 4th or 5th night. My sleep study showed I should be set at a 19, but I think that was high due to a higher than normal AHI and the uncomfortable sleep study conditions. My ...

Went from the Fisher and paykel 234 cpap that was set to a pressure of 19 to a respironics apap unit that varies from 8-19. The first few nights I slept like a baby and my pressure was at 13.4, 14.5, 13.4, 14.5. Since then, I've been waking up to a pressure of 16. I use a couple different masks, eit...

Are there any pillows that work better than others? With my machine, I'm on a 19 but am going to try an APAP to see if I respond as well with a lower pressure. I'd like to get rid of my current mask because of sores under my nose and go to a nasal pillow like the Swift FX. Are there some that work b...
