I'm sorry Granny and perhaps I misunderstood when he (my VA pulmonologist) said my COPD today has dramatically reduced my lung capacity and both my minimum and maximum CPAP air settings will continue to be significantly affected by the volume it can move in/out of my lungs comfortably regardless of ...

I envy that pair of lungs!

What pressure settings are you using? Thanks CG and others who have or will participate in this thread. I'm sorry for not including my numbers which I'll list below: My pressure is set at 9 with EPR on normally tho I'll occasionally try a 10 with EPR on. I can manage up to 8 with EPR off however my...

I've read average min. pressure settings are in the 6-10 range. Purely curiosity on my part but how does that number compare to what people here use? I fully expect it to be totally in the widely accepted 6-10 norm but curious if anyone here runs above or below that oft-touted average. Thanks in adv...

Ok, I'm totally lost now, but appreciate your efforts!

I'm sorry and please pardon my long way around replying but I couldn't figure out how to do quotes from multiple posts so I copy/pasted my own below; DS wrote; <<If your signature is accurate and you have a ResMed, then no, it does not update the time.

check the time especially the am/pm on your device is accurately set. I thought it took care of that automatically in the same way it tells time in whatever time zone. But give me a hint how/where to look and I'm on it. Thanks DS! Update; The machine resets itself every day at noon and self-updates...

Another oddity, least to me yesterday/last night. Had my pm nap with normal AHI numbers, essentially 2.X hours machine useage/0 events per hour. No issues. Back to bed for the night near 6:30pm-ish, with same numbers on machine LCD that were there when I awoke from my nap earlier. Slept till just af...

DS; At my age, aggrivated by chemo-related brain fog (Google 'chemo brain'), I have to agree with you. It's entirely possible I misread the machine... twice; when waking from that nap and again when going to bed for the night later that evening. Had I known or even suspected it was SUCH an oddity I ...

I don't know much as it relates to any of this but I do wonder how/why a machine can transfer extensive data to a different medium that can be interpreted as accurate yet not reliably transfer even the most basic, accurate data to it's own LCD screen!?! Seems to me there would be less chance for acc...

Now that's an answer I can live with tho struggle to understand how/why naps are such an issue for the machine. Either way, thanks so much for stickin' with me. I super-appreciate ya P!

Yes'm it was the machine's LCD screen and only for an hour's nap in the mid-afternoon and not the entire night and no electrical interruptions occurred in that time or I would've had to go thru the house and reset things like oven, range hood etc clocks that start to flash on/off and not reset even ...

I understand but it's what the machine was showing when I got up. Then it was still there later when I went to bed for the night. I didn't go scrolling to look for a deeper understanding/analysis but you can bet next time it shows I'll take a pic! Meanwhile, please pardon my OCD.

Thank ya ma'am!

Again Pugsy, Thank You! And I realize what I'm doing here, with these numbers is akin to picking pepper out of fly poop as my numbers are small and insignificant but for the life of me I cannot understand how .1 AH events in 1 hour of machine use is possible. Hey I'm just 7 months out of a dual regi...

Thanks Pugsy! As you wrote; "Obviously we can't have a fraction of an apnea event but we can have fractions when dividing hours of use by the total number of apnea events." Only question remaining for me is how many AHI event(s) is .1 in 1 hour? If it's 1 why doesn't the machine show 1.0 vs .1? This...
