Re: Airsense 10 water tub - Standard vs Cleanable

I have both. The DME sold me on the non distilled water one for travelling. They are completely identical with the exception of one having "ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER" on the top and the other doesn't. I would have been mad if my insurance didn't cover it.

Re: Resmed F20 (new)

Also a Quattro user who switched to F20. I wear a medium in both and find medium on the F20 to be fine for me. The silicone is a bit stiffer than the Quattro, but I got used to it. What I like about the F20 is that I find I don't need to strap it down so tightly. It acts sort of like a balloon in th...

Re: Need some help reducing AHI

Good advice. I'll check Sleepyhead tonight and look at the breakdown. I'm pretty sure it's mostly been obstructives but it could be more of a split than I think.

Re: Need some help reducing AHI

So far so good going back to regular APAP. All AHIs below 1.5 for the last few nights. Seems like I may have solved my own problem. Guess I'll update if things get worse again.

LSAT wrote:I would keep raising your minimum pressure...10 would be my suggestion.
Yeah that's the plan. From reading other peoples settings here it seems like 5 is a little low.

Re: Need some help reducing AHI

OH WOW, going over the data again I just realized that the machine shipped in default APAP mode but on Jan 8th I switched it to the APAP for her mode. That might have a lot to do with it. Going to switch back to plain APAP tonight and see what happens. Still would appreciate anyone else chiming in.

Like most people it took me a couple weeks to adjust to the mask but once I did I found it helped immensely. I've tried the Airfit F10, Amara View, Quottro Air, and j...
