Would a fabric sleeve around the hose help muffle that?

- Will

P.S. Anyone who hates their Z1 is welcome to send it to me to be safely re-homed!

Re: n00b question about air pressure

Higher minimum pressure, got it. I will try tonight!

Any obvious reason the mask might fit well at bedtime and not as well four hours later? Is the stubble on my face enough to break the seal?

And thank you!

Re: n00b question about air pressure

Last night was better still: the strep throat is on its way out, and I had fewer of the constant leaks again -- but a couple of times it woke me up. Here's a screenshot of what SleepyHead captured: http://imgur.com/a/rdrLj (Did I do that right?) I got up to go to the bathroom a little before midnigh...

Re: n00b question about air pressure

Thank you, palerider -- your explanation of pressure makes a lot of sense. This evening I popped a 2GB SD card into the machine, which it happily accepted. Curious, I held down combinations of buttons until it switched into clinical mode, which is some pretty lame security. :7) Anyway, from there I ...

Re: n00b question about air pressure

Yeah, I saw the card slot. (It has the standard SD card logo on it.)

I will pop one in before bed tonight and make sure it's formatted properly.

Re: n00b question about air pressure

Fair enough: the answer is usually in the data!

I don't think there's an SD card in my CPAP machine's card slot. If I put one in there, will it stop reporting data to the DME, or will it do both?

n00b question about air pressure

Thanks for this forum -- there's so much here to try to absorb! I have a question about air pressure. I am a new CPAP user -- two nights so far, the first of which I spent with strep throat. (Surprise! Have some antibiotics!) I was given a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset, with an AirFit A10 full-face mas...
