Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
So I think I got a report from the machine now (using the SD card and the software), is there a way to attach a pdf file here?

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
Who should not use an Auto CPAP in APAP mode: "3.2. Patients with congestive heart failure, significant lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, patients expected to have nocturnal arterial oxyhemoglobin desaturation due to conditions other than OSA (e.g., obesity hypoventilation...

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
(Also, I'll wait till I check the SD card thing before changing the pressure)

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
I imagine that DME's can not change the pressure, unless they see a prescription for a different pressure, however there is no law that say you can't change it yourself! 14 cm h2o is better than not using it at all! Once he gets use to the more reasonable pressure for a newbie ... You can crank it ...

Re: New Software iPhone, Web, and Backup
Wow, another great idea sister - I have special needs in my family but didn't think of this. This would be the first "real time" application of cpap data I've heard of outside of a sleep study. FM YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But please make it so you could set the alerts to automatically alarm/alert a smart ...

Re: What do you want on your next-gen S10, PRS2?
I want smart phone app capability so that when the mask is taken off, the machine is restarted, or there is a high leak, I could get an alarm/notification on my smart phone, rather then checking all night. Especially helpful for all the parents/caregivers out there that are going with almost no sle...

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
SU, do you want to tell me that a person suffering from Down Syndrome (DS) could set a CPAP machine, change pressures on it, and may be even use an SD card to check graphs on a laptop? How much do you know about the capabilities of those with DS? Do you assume that a person suffering from ADHD has ...

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
Now if he is removing the mask and not really knowing that he is doing it....this happens to lots of people as they remove the mask at sometime during the night and wake up with the mask off and they have no recollection of doing it...sometimes we advise people to put a little tape over the straps ...

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
As for "auto setting from 12 - 17", his current machine CANNOT be set up that way--it requires an autopap, called an Autoset in the ResMed line. The Elite is a fixed pressure machine--although it will ramp, it holds one pressure once it reaches that pressure. They should have given him an auto in t...

Re: Young Adult with Down syndrome, can't find mask that works
Insurance companies don't get a report on what the pressures are...If they get anything other than the DME telling them that the required % of time each night has been met it will be just a report showing compliance hours...they take no interest in pressures used or AHI or leaks or anything like th...
