Re: newbie with an old machine?

Ajack and Kohkie, I'm sorry that as a Newbie I didn't realize that there was another page of postings so just found your two posts. I can follow the advice both of you gave me--I'll go back to auto and start at 8.5, increasing the range to say 13. I'll do that tonight. One thought, however, is that ...

Re: newbie with an old machine?

I set the machine to CPAP with 8.5 and have been there for 4 nights. AHI is averaging 4.24, based on individual nights at 2.86, 5.88, 2.81, and last night 5.49. I'm only averaging about 6 hours of sleep per night, but I think that's mostly because of my environment. When the sun comes up I usually w...

Re: newbie with an old machine?

Right now this is set to Auto--should I just bail on that or let it go for another few days to see what it does?

Re: newbie with an old machine?

As I said yesterday, I decided to reset the machine to AutoIQ, and last night I felt that it was a pretty good night. However, my AHI was 6.46--the worst I've had in some time. ?????

Re: newbie with an old machine?

RobySue, Below are two SleepyHead charts; one is an overview, the other is night before last. Tonight I'll be using my device with Auto IQ set for another 23 days. It apparently only allows this system for 30 days total and I've already used 7, but I seem to recall reading someplace that it can be r...

Re: newbie with an old machine?

Wow. Make that WOW! If only I'd found all of you 5 years ago... I'm going to re-program my machine to re-start the IQ and keep it going for 99 days--I think I can do that. I'm also going to upload my data via SleepyHead. Thank you all for taking your time to help me. BTW I occasionally write article...

Re: newbie with an old machine?

RobySue, Thanks for your timely response. Looking underneath the unit unfortunately is of no help--it gives the serial number but only says REMstar Pro, and then underneath that says REF 450P. The booklet I received for the unit calls the humidifier a System One Heated Humidifier, and while it isn't...

newbie with an old machine?

Greetings. First I'd like to say thank you for those of you who quite obviously invested quite a bit of your time and resources creating this forum. It is a repository of amazingly invaluable information that would be difficult to glean elsewhere. I was diagnosed with OSA over 5 years ago, and after...
