Thanks for the information and terrific figure, Snoredog. I thought you might know something about this topic. Sounds like the airflow sensor in the M-series will compensate for leaks up to a point, depending upon the treatment pressure and size of leak. So, if I take the positive correlations serio...

I'm trying to gain a better understanding of the relationship between mask leaks and treatment pressure. I use CL2 with a RemStar M-Series APAP treatment around 9-10 cm/H2O. The CL2 mask is rated with a normal flow of about 30 liters per minute (LPM) at this pressure. Of course, I don't get a 30 LPM...

1. I'd appreciate better descriptive statistics. Min, max, mean, and SD would be very helpful. Easy enough to do. I'll have to think how I might do that in the UI. I don't want to over crowd each chart with too much info. I think putting that on each chart would be too much? The descriptive stats c...

This messge constitutes topic and scope creep, but is it reasonable to have a user-entered field that tracked mask type used, and maybe one or more charts such as AHI by mask? I realize this would mean writing to the database, which may not be a good thing, or adding another instance of SQL Server,...

H cwsanfor - I'm glad you started this thread. Just this week I went back to trying the Activa mask. The first night was fine, but I gave up after a few hours on the second night with the same symptoms you described. I just couldn't get enough air. I have tried the Activa on two different occasions ...

I would think it's more likely it is something you are doing wrong, as it works correctly for most people. Hi Jim, I too have the same problems as reported by others who are using MyEncore Ver. 1.5B7 and EncorePro 1.6i. I have looked carefully at the SQL database. The data are there. The range sett...

cchase, Are you using MyEncore? Length of apneas and a whole lot of other stuff is available from it. Den Hi Den- I think Wulfman is right; I've only been able to find an average apnea figure in the table of statistics of the EncorePro. I've also been using Derek's MyEncore 1.5B7 program with Encor...

Hi halbert- My experience is similar to byront. When I first start treatment at night, my respirations are long and deep and the machine's blower adjustment with c-flex creates a louder response. When I wake up in the morning, my breathing is more regular and shallow and the machine is whisper quiet...

okay, we're still listening..........any other comments? Thanks. Hi Respironics Guest- I've enjoyed my M-Series Auto and EncorePro software very much. I purchased the system to do my own titration study and look for patterns between how I feel in the morning and my CPAP data. I need to do this on m...

The F&P Thermosmart technology is only available with with their SleepStyle 600 CPAP machine and can not be purchased as a humidifier alone (the HC150 uses the Ambient Tracking technology). Do they have plans to develop a stand-alone humidifer with Thermosmart?

cchase - have you had any humidifier issues as I have mentioned? How do you like your machine and mask setup? Hi byront - No humidifier issues; I do need to pay attention to the room temperature when I set the humidifier. One night when the room temp was in the 60's, I set the humidifier to '4' got...

Hi byront - I have the same setup with Remstar Auto M-seris and the CL2 mask. I too wondered about pressure leakage when I started treatment a month ago. In the instructions that came with the mask is a small graph that plots pressure on the X-axis and External Leak Rate on the Y-axis. Two lines are...

Any help in how to adjust the pressure in this unit. I am a new user and would like to have the option to make minor pressure changes as needed. Thanks Hi crusader - You unplug the machine, then hold down the left and right buttons simultaneously while plugging the machine's power supply. When the ...

Wolftracker, I am not sure where I should be clicking? When you say "click on the download date" I tried to click on the dates that were listed on the left side under "Patient Compliance" No results at all! Sorry to be so needy here! Any further help would be greatly appreciated! Hi inacpapfog - So...

[quote="inacpapfog"]Good info, Snoredog. Having previously purchased only a Resmed product (Spirit,) I thought all machines came with the two manuals.
Do you know what types of info. I would be missing out on by not purchasing the clinician manual?
