Re: Self Treating: I've got my CPAP, now what...?

You can use SleepyHead...it's the simplest...links in my signature line. It has a Windows and Mac version available. I thought I sent you some information on where to get EncoreBasic but maybe I forgot. It's strictly Windows 7 or older. If you have Windows 8.xxx then let me know as we will have to ...

Re: Self Treating: I've got my CPAP, now what...?

I don't think the older 50 series models had the mask leak/fit thing available...don't worry about it. Likely depends on the firmware/software in the machine itself. Not missing much. The video is likely based on a newer model. My suggesting for DIYing diagnosing is to try Auto mode with settings M...

Re: Self Treating: I've got my CPAP, now what...?

Ok, the video was great. I have a much better grasp on the workings of the machine.
Two areas of concern:
It doesn't appear I have the mask leak check option
In the advanced menu setting, what should be my mode election, CPAP or Auto? If CPAP, what pressure do I start with?

Thank you

Re: First night with oximeter results

Okay, nice normal awake breathing. It's normal to have a bit lower, normal for asleep breathing, so that's not a concern now. Not all OSA events cause a significant drop in Oxygen levels. I have a friend whose AHI was in the 60s and her O2 never dropped below 94%. This is why using a pulse oximeter...

Re: First night with oximeter results

Good news is that your oxygen levels don't drop a lot.....actually minimal drop...never below 91%. Your base O2 is 95 %..do you live at a higher altitude? Check it while awake for about 15 minutes...see what it is while totally awake...normally basals are a bit higher in most people without issues ...

Ok, so as I mentioned earlier, I have the RemStar 50 series on its way. I also have the CMS-50D+ oximeter. I will be using these to self treat.

My apologies. It is the "50 Series"....not the 60. Still appropriate for my needs?

Will the PR System One REMStar 60 Series Auto https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-sys ... chine.html be a proper machine for self treating?
