Need to improve my result? Thinking up upping pressure

I have been on my BiPap for right at 2 months now. It has made a huge difference in my life since day one but there is always room for improvement! I have never gotten below an AHI of 1.6 and seem to bounce in the range of 1.6-3.5. For some reason, my AHI seems to be lower on the weekend. I currentl...

Re: AirCurve 10 VAuto

If by bars you are talking about the cellular modem signal, don't be concerned. I only have 1 most of the time but my data gets uploaded just fine.

Re: Aircurve 10 Vauto shut down on its own last night

Here is the other one. If I know what I am looking at, it appears it quit while the leak rate was 14.4 the first time and 37.2. There are a lot of other areas on this chart where the leak rate was much higher for much longer and it did not quit.

Re: Aircurve 10 Vauto shut down on its own last night

See? There's your problem... and it explains the stupendous leaks you're having! Sorry if a little humor in the face of the obvious is unwelcome... there's nothing to add to what Pugsy said, "your leaks are completely out of control, figure out where the problem is and fix it". Nah, I did not mind ...

Re: Website courtesies

When someone publicly helps me on a forum, I feel it is rude for me to not publicly recognize it and thank them. On other forums, I have been the one answering all the questions and providing all the help and it sucks when someone does not even acknowledge it or say thanks.

Such a helpful comment. Thanks for that bit of insight. All along I thought I belonged on the pillow beside me!

Re: Aircurve 10 Vauto shut down on its own last night

I had my leaks under control nicely. Then I decided that I needed to get a new cushion for my mask since it is 6 weeks old and felt like it had collapsed some. Now the leaks are back to what they were when I first started. I am going to go back to my old cushions tonight and not change them again un...

Re: Aircurve 10 Vauto shut down on its own last night

My damn machine quit twice again last night/early morning. This is the third time it has happened. Should I try contacting Resmed or my DME? Is Resmed easy to get ahold of? Here is the chart for those who will certainly ask. Aircurve 10 Vauto with smart start on. And no, there is no chance the power...

I am not sleeping past machine time so that should not be it.

Re: Which is more accurate? Machine or Sleepyhead?

I'm not so sure about you guys comments that Sleepyhead does not calculate or interpret data. Almost every night the AHI reported on my machine is different than what Sleepyhead says. It is usually not a lot but is still different. For example, last night my machine reported an AHI of 1.79. Sleepyhe...

Which is more accurate? Machine or Sleepyhead?

Two mornings ago I awoke and looked at my Resmed Aircurve 10 Vauto display and it showed an AHI of 20 for the night's sleep. That is the worst I have ever seen and was really disappointed. I loaded my data into Sleepyhead to see what caused it and Sleepyhead shows an AHI of 3.4 which is very normal ...

Re: Ruined my Aircurve 10 Vauto? HELP!

No XPAP will keep you alive if your heating system isn't safe and vented. You got lucky! Jim P.S. I respect your ideals, same as mine... I hear you! We have used that heater many times in the past. The good (bad) thing is the hunting cabin is a real piece of crap and has so many air leaks, we are c...

Thank you for the offer Squid. I will go to my DME tomorrow and see what they can help with. They may have a ...

Re: Ruined my Aircurve 10 Vauto? HELP!

I don't think you damaged it but you would have to void the warranty to get inside to clean. I would just clean it up as best I could and take it back saying it is faulty. Act innocent, do not mention the hunting incident. You need a cheap backup to take on your trips. I can't operate that way. I w...
