I keep hearing and reading that they are 'different'. I understand that the ASV does some things that the ST does not do.
What I cannot figure out is what the ST is supposed to do that the ASV does NOT do.

Shane- Thank you for replying. I cannot find any current references to the PR BiPAP S/T #DS1060S on PR's website. I have found the machine in a few online dealers, often without a listed price. I do not fully understand the differences bewtween the PR System One ASV 960 and the PR BiPAP S/T #DS1060S...

"Apnea is just a scam for the doctors. What did people do before they had CPAP machines? "

Tracheostomy apperantly.

Thanks so much for the info. I found a competitor's website that allowed me to search for machines by insurance code, the only two matches were the Resmed S9 ASV Adapt and the PR System One 960. I will take a crack at the clinical manuals tonight, but based on feedback the PR System One 960 is curre...

Thanks for the responses; I think most of my questions have been answered. At my first sleep study, it was determined that I was having a combination of OSA, CSA and complex apnea events. At my second sleep study (first titration) it was determined that at moderate CPAP pressures (15cm) almost all t...

I know this sounds like like something I should be just be able to put into Google, but I am struggling a bit. My prescription as written states: BPAP-SET PRESSURE AT 16/9 WITH BUR 8/MINUTE Heated Humidifier, compliance card and supplies ICD 327.29, 327.23 LON 99 months I have a prescriptions code o...

You won't be able to go very deep. At a pressure setting of 12, your machine could blow bubbles out of a hose submerged 12cm into the hot tub. That is a little under 5 inches. It might actually work, but you could seriously damage your machine or your mask and you might end up snoot full of water. O...

Where did you get the 40 AHI number? From the overnight pulse ox report? or a sleepy study? The 40 is about average for my overnight SPO2 events from my pulse oximeter. It is probably incorrect to call it an AHI. I did get a number from my first sleep study, it was higher, but I honestly do not rem...

One of the things that I am confused about is the differential diagnosis of OSA and CSA. This seems like a straight forward question, but I can't seem to get an answer with enough technical detail to satisfy me. Googling produces tons of web pages that explain the difference between the two. Occasio...

Hello Everyone- My name is Charles. I have been lurking around here for several weeks. This is a great board, I have learned quite a lot. My dad was diagnosed with OSA years ago. He has gone from CPAP to surgery and now to a BiPAP machine. It has helped him quite a bit so I am somewhat familiar with...
