Re: AutoStart/off? Airsense 10 AutoSet + Airtouch N30i

Just a quick update: Smart Start is super responsive. Actually, works a little better than my n20. Shutting down after removing is just a couple seconds longer... maybe.

Comfort is off the chart 😀 I'll see how my night goes.

AutoStart/off? Airsense 10 AutoSet + Airtouch N30i

Does anybody know if the auto start/off feature is still operational with the N30i on my machine? Been using the N20 for years and would like to try the new[er] N30i due to the lower footprint on my face/head. Thanks. I've included a picture of my run hours just in case anyone is curious about motor...

Easy to identify budding "Karens" and "Kevins"--or what IS the male equivalent?
There isn't one; we don't have that problem.

I read somewhere here that the control 2 and 3 cleaner is not good to clean with, too harsh.

Re: Are bathroom breaks registered as leaks?

No. Back pressure drops to 0, so the system knows the mask is no longer connected; Large Leak = 0. If you are not using the auto off feature, you should, just to save a little on motor wear & tear.

Btw, your last A1c looked good... congrats.

Re: AHI adjustment or not?

When you are in bed with your machine and mask on the machine does not know if you are sleeping or not. Your breathing is different when you are awake and may cause your AHI to be higher than it would be if you were sleeping straight through. If your AHI was 3.8 when you are only sleeping part of t...

Re: I panicked.

I have two masks. One is the full face mask, the other one just covers my nose. I get the same results with either. I have tried nasal pillows in the past and I'm not a big fan. The chin strap seems to help. I'll keep at it. I've been using the machine during the day while watching TV. And I dose o...

Re: Wanted DS 460 P (no script)

Here is the rub, my prescription is expired and I don't have health insurance at the moment. I have looked at craigslist in my area, but the two DS460P's I have come across are more expensive than just buying a "commercial" used unit (secondwindcpap(dot)com). However, without a prescription, I'm ou...

I held my breath a few times followed by some quick hyperventilating to simulate an event. Great news, my 1 day AHI jumped to 10, so my machine looks like it is working well.

Thanks for the help.

Re: machine stuck on AHI / Large Leak 0

Excellent info robysue... thank you very much!

I'm still hoping for an Android ver for Sleepy Head as my cell is my only computer. I see there is now a Linux ver, so I hope the Android will be right around the corner
