Autoset S9 Invalid Card Error

My supplier put in a new card. Now I have ResScan and looked at the data on the new card with ResScan and Sleepy...

Air Coming Into Mouth- Need Advice

I am finding it impossible to sleep on CPAP due to air coming into mouth. First I tried nasal pillows, but air started filling my mouth, then being expelled, which in turn caused mouth breathing. Keeping mouth closed with chin strap or taping could not stop the problem . I then went to Resmed Quattr...

Re: ? Accuracy of ResMed S9 AHI Readings

This is quite serious. Perhaps we would be better off with a recording oximeter , which would definitely not give sats <90% in a normal awake person at rest. Wrong. About 2 years ago I was in ER after an asthma event and spent about 3 hours hooked up to a machine which kept quite good track of my S...

Re: Recommendations for a recording oximeter

It is rather amazing how what I thought was a rather innocuous question about a recommendation for a recording oximeter can take on a life of its own And for the record I couldn't be more thankful to cosmo and some of the others here for their advice in taking my request seriously and doing their b...

Re: ? Accuracy of ResMed S9 AHI Readings

I have not seen anyone on these forums check this device while awake. That's because all xPAP machine score AHI on the basis of autonomous sleep breathing behaviour (that is, breathing behaviour while you are truly asleep). Any data scored while you are not asleep is quite meainingless. This has be...

? Accuracy of ResMed S9 AHI Readings

Last night was my 1st night on CPAP ( ResMed S9 Elite, Nasal Pillow Swift Fx mask). I could not fall asleep with the device on and disconnected and turned off after 3 hours (I was clearly awake the entire time) for a variety of reasons. I looked at the info for this 3 hour session and was shocked to...
