Re: Help Wanted- Sleepyhead leak setting and graph reading

Great explanation Pugsy and palerider! Somehow I knew you both as well as the AirSense 10 Autoset are most intelligent in these matters. I can now move on. Thanks again.

Re: Help Wanted- Sleepyhead leak setting and graph reading

I can't recall the content of dreams but only that I do. Another point I wish you could help me clear up about the excess leak rate. This is a math problem. If the standard SH setting for ResMed is 24 L/min, I then can assume anything over the 24 L/min will be excess (unintentional) leaks. If the in...

Re: Help Wanted- Sleepyhead leak setting and graph reading

A-HA! That makes a lot of sense (increase RPM to maintain pressure). I learned something. Also PR, thanks for the leak graph read. I must be burying my mask in the pillow and/or I have noticed that I may be pulling the hose off the machine slightly. The dreams and nightmares have been vivid lately. ...

Help Wanted- Sleepyhead leak setting and graph reading

First, my SH preferences with AirSense 10 Autoset using Quattro Air mask. Does this Sleepyhead setup look correct? ResMed Quattro Air mask chart shows pressure at 10cm with approximately 37 L/min intentional leak rate. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10675309/3-30-15a.JPG Second, does the leak g...

Re: What Noise Indicates Failing/Failed Blower/Bearings?

If the motor is starting to make noise, this indicates friction, which indicates heat and when plastic is heated you do not want to breath it. Just saying it's a possibility.

Re: Don't like ResMed Autoset

Yes, you can use the Airsense with the optional end panel, and NO WATER. Correct! However you must turn off humidifier in the settings menu. 1: - you can not pick this machine up!! It is too big for my hands and it has no handle or side grip. The surface is very smooth so your hand slides. Problem ...

Re: Sleepyhead Leak Rate Setting

Are you still using the Full Face mask or are you trying a nasal mask of some sort. That one time in big leak looks real suspicious for mouth breathing leak. I am using the full face Quattro Air. I definitely mouth breath when dreaming. I sleep on my sides with buckwheat hull pillow to help. It is ...

Re: Sleepyhead Leak Rate Setting

Corrected the setting and checked the box. Looks like I need to tighten mask if what the graph shows is excess leakage. Thanks Pugsy!

Sleepyhead Leak Rate Setting

Now that I have switched to Airsense 10 AutoSet from a PRS1, what setting should I use to flag leaks? My mask data chart shows 37 L/min at my nominal pressure.

Re: Direct Sleepyhead data file to a RAID

I don't know Mac. Perhaps Mac platform can't see your other drive or there is some other platform compatibility issue. Someone here knows an answer. Some here have beta helped in the development of SH. Maybe moderator can direct your inquiry.

Re: Airsense 10 Humidifier Tub Cleaning

Mine has that bit of paint/marker inside the weep hole as well - I wonder what that is for.

I have the standard tub, not the dishwasher safe one.
Good question. Maybe someone will have an answer.

Re: Direct Sleepyhead data file to a RAID

The only method I can think of is to move the SH data folder to the drive where you want it.

Then open SH, click FILE then click CHANGE DATA FOLDER. Select your new data location. I would backup SH first.
