Re: ResScan and S9 VPAP Adapt

Thanks to all of you. I have determined that I am using the correct version of ResScan for my ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt. I am also able to download all the detailed reports. I haven't done that for several days - due to urgent events in my life. However, in the daily report from my machine, it states tha...

Re: ResScan and S9 VPAP Adapt

Thank you Pugsy, with your directions, I was able to downlaod detailed graphs. Henry Jr. said "The ResMed rep said when S9VPAP Adapt is operating in ASV mode, it will never identify a CA because the ASV algorithm should always adjust/increase pressure to prevent a Clear Airway even from ever happeni...

Re: ResScan and S9 VPAP Adapt

Pugsy,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I followed your directions, and the detailed graphs appeared. I have printed the manual & now I will have to study it. This forum is fantastic! I really appreciate all the advice & help. Question: Which of the graphs should I first study?

Re: finally on ASV 0 AHI but restless

Hello Wilsonintexas, I believe there are only a few of us using ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt. I have found out that the names of the machines are tricky. If you put the "Adapt" before VPAP, it is a different machine. I have had mine since the end of June. The doctor let me lower the top pressure, and I have...

Re: ResScan and S9 VPAP Adapt

Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried again, keeping the card in the reader. I asked for detailed data. ResScan gave me the Statistics and the Summary Graphs, along with the message "No detailed data available." So I guess if a person uses the S9 VPAP Adapt, he will have to be satisfied with th...

ResScan and S9 VPAP Adapt

Thanks to people on this Forum, I was able to download the data on the card from my S9 VPAP Adapt into ResScan. It gave me the data in Summary Graphs and said that with this machine, when it is in the ASV mode, no Detailed Graphs are available. I only downloaded it once, but is this correct?

Re: will sleeping pils help adjust to ASV ortake longer

I am using ResMed S9 Vpap Adapt and have been taking Ambien CR. Yes, I have read all the warnings. Yes, I have researched it extensively. My neurologist, sleep doctor, & primary physician feel that the benefits (for me) far outweigh any side effects. I now go to sleep promptly, usually sleep 7 hours...

Re: Focusing on Ambien

Sorry, I don't go for these short TV blips. I have tried all the things the good Doctor mentioned: Dark room, no TV, no food for four hours. etc. After I was diagnosed with Central/Complex Sleep Apnea, the mask & machine kept me from sleeping at all. My doctor prescribed Ambien CR; now I can tolerat...

Re: Sleeping on back

Sir Noddinoff said Anyway, that said, I've been able to train myself to sleep on my back using what I call the Hybrid Supine Position . First get some throw pillows from a couch or roll up a blanket to make a support system to place in your bed; it should be about 3' long and a thick as you feel com...

Re: What does your insurance cover?

Everyone seems to have different levels of coverage. I must be very, very fortunate. I have never paid a cent for several sleep studies, equipment, or masks. And no one has ever asked about compliance. I have the latest & best equipment that is recommended for patients with Central/Complex Sleep Apn...

Re: Kaiser Ins and Apria

Hi Janknitz, I think Kaiser will prescribe more than one brand of equipment. I had a Respironics for several years and two months ago the Sleep doctor who analyzed my latest Titration study ordered a ResMed S9 Vpap Adapt. It caused me some problems at first and when I complained, she ordered a diffe...

Re: does anyone have a resmed s9 that shows a lock symbol?

On the ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt, you can NOT ramp up or down. Unbelievable! But true.

Re: does anyone have a resmed s9 that shows a lock symbol?

On my ResMed S9 VPAP adapt, on the LCD screen's right side, you have a vertical bar marked "Info" then a "Push Dial" and below that a "Set Up" bar. I learned from a post on this forum that after you press "Set Up" and get into the first menu, you need to press both bars for at least three seconds to...
