Got it, thanks.

There is the Resistance Control thing that you could maybe change on your machine if it was setup for the Wisp. It isn't a critical issue though and wouldn't be the cause of the increase in AHI. Respironics masks all have a resistance control number http://www.healthcare.philips.com/main/homehealth...

1.72 last night with the P10, the lowest it's been so far!

Ok, thanks for setting me straight. If it stays higher than it was for the first few days then I'll panic a little bit and will post some Sleephead data. Otherwise I'll be fine. One other thing I could add, I don't know if it has anything to do with anything but I wasn't able to sleep on my side wit...

I've only been using my CPAP since the end of last week. I originally had a Wisp nasal mask, light night I changed to the P10 nasal pillow and SleepyHead says my AHI went up. The first few nights were 3.44, 2.75, 2.78, 1.92 and then last night (with the P10) it was 5.11. Should I be worried? Do I ne...

I was put on the Wisp nasal mask at a sleep study recently. It blows air out toward your eyes, which I find very unpleasant. I haven't experienced that, it's been pretty good for me. The SleepMapper software shows a 100% mask fit for the 2 days that I've used it. However I've been blessed with an e...

I got my equipment today. I wound up with the 460. I had asked for the 560 ahread of time but was told that I wouldn't be taking advantage of the capabilities since it would be set for a single pressure. The tech said that the pressure requirement sometimes changes during the night, or from day to d...

Get the 560. I have my 550 set to a single pressure (min=max). Don't rely on your doctor requesting the APAP. Get your insurance info from your insurance company, not the DME. You need to run the numbers. Eleven months times your copay. Don't forget that your yearly deductible gets reset in January...

So I was just looking at the results from the CPAP test and was wondering why they would recommend a higher pressure when I had an RDI of 0.0 at both 8 and 9? The mean SpO2 was lower at those pressures than it was at 11, would that be why?

I haven't been able to get in touch with the doctor yet but spoke to the DME today. They said that since my prescription is for a CPAP at a fixed pressure (12 cm H20) even if they were to give me the 560 it would be programmed for that pressure only and would not automatically adjust. Is that correc...

Yeah I thought that was a little strange too (the higher pressure). I will call the doctor and the DME to see if I can find out what that's all about. And also as I said earlier in this thread I'm going to push for getting a machine that adjusts as needed and doesn't just stick with a single pressure.

I got the results of the titration and the prescription today. The prescription is for "CPAP at 12 cm H20 with filter, tubing, heated humidifier and mask to fit". The titration result says "CPAP was initiated at 4 cm H20 and incrementially advanced to 11 cm H20. The patient had very mild and infrequ...

If it were me I would insist on the 560. Most of us have different requirements during the night as we go in and out of REM for example. Over the five years or so that you will have the machine your requirements may change. If you have a cold, your requirements may change. The 560 checks your requi...

The 560 is newer... Yeah but newer does not always mean better... does it in this case? Looking at this comparison guide https://www.continuedcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/SystemOne-Comparison-Guide.pdf it looks like the difference between the 460 and the 560 is the 460 is a CPAP and the 560 ...

I just spoke with the DME, they seemed to be very nice and helpful... but they said they just got to my prescription today and hadn't had a chance to fully review it. They said the most common CPAP machine they use is the Respironics System One Model 460. From what I can see it looks like it's a dec...
