Icon+ Auto versus Airsense 10 Autoset

I was wondering if someone could please offer me an opinion about how these two autopap unites compare. I am looking to replace my current unit and not sure which new unit to purchase. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Philips Respironics Dreamstation Auto-PAP APAP CPAP - $395

That machine can be purchased new on Amazon for just about the same price, so you may want to rethink your asking price.

Re: DreamStation Go Question

It's very new to the market and not a lot of people have acquired one just yet. Not many reviews but if you Google "DreamStation Go" there are a few. Here's one site that I found with reviews. http://www.thecpapshop.com/philips-respironics-dreamstation-go-auto-travel-cpap-machine#customer-reviews O...

Of course, but no one actually pays full price for one.

Re: New SH Data

Pugsy - you're awesome - thank you. By the way, I just got a discount coupon from CPAP.com for 15% of all orders over $175 so I might splurge and purchase the AirMini unit for traveling since I do travel quite a bit and I typically don't like taking my (big) machine with me. It looks like that unit ...

Re: New SH Data

Is there some reason you zoomed in on the time starting at around 23:40 instead of not zooming in at all and including the 22:20 start time? Like was that a time you were awake and couldn't go to sleeping or something? This could cause a lot of SWJ events getting flagged. Or A good chunk of your AH...

New SH Data

So I upped my minimum pressure to 9 and last night my residual AHI was 7. Can someone tell me what might have happened? I was hoping that upping the minimum pressure would lower my residual AHI.

Re: New SleepyHead Data - Please advise

Pugsy - based upon my numbers, do you think I should try going to a minimum pressure of 9 just to see what happens with my AHI, or would that be overkill since there are times during the night where it doesn't look like I even need that much pressure? Thanks again!

Re: New SleepyHead Data - Please advise

I don't want you doing anything without understanding what you are doing and why. Which means that you have to understand the different components of that AHI and how each responds or doesn't respond to "more press". I don't want you chasing numbers without also evaluating how you feel and how you ...

Re: New SleepyHead Data - Please advise

know that the algorithms are not the same, but (I thought) the goal of any APAP machine is to reduce the AHI as much as possible. Same goal but the road they travel to get to that goal is different (the different algorithms). And to top it off the hyponea criteria for ResMed is different from Respi...

Re: New SleepyHead Data - Please advise

I don't feel all that bad. However, I upgraded to this machine from the ResMed S9 and that machine always got my AHI down to <2. I am just curious why this machine hasn't been able to do that. I know that the algorithms are not the same, but (I thought) the goal of any APAP machine is to reduce the ...

New SleepyHead Data - Please advise

So I have been slowly adjusting the minimum pressure on my machine with the hope of lowering my residual AHI as much as possible. I first went from 4 to 7 and last night I went from 7 to 8. My residual AHI was 4.2 this morning. Any thoughts on further adjustments? Thanks in advance!! http://i.imgur....

Re: Help Interpreting SleepyHead Data

Might have been someone with a ResMed machine....it doesn't do the snores and FLs on the events graph but instead does the graph thing. So sometimes those graphs are useful when it's a ResMed machine. If you were using Encore (which is Respironics official software) it doesn't show any of that extr...

Re: Help Interpreting SleepyHead Data

Here is a snapshot of the daily data. I tried to organize the charts, but I don't have a graph entitled "Flow Limit." why did you only show 20 seconds of the night? Oops - I just noticed that. I didn't alter anything. I had only rearranged the graphs. I didn't realize that the default on the graphs...
