What is the model number on the new machine you just received? If you did get the AutoAdvanced model that is the ASV model and it is NOT the same kind of machine as your old machine if what you were using was a regular Auto/APAP/CPAP machine. It is a DSX520H11C, a "DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP Advanced...

I received a text message yesterday from FedEx about a package delivery. I had no idea what was being delivered. A Dreamstation 2 Auto Advanced was delivered today to replace my Dreamstation Auto. I had received no prior notification from Philips, the DME who sold me the machine, or my doctor. The i...

Be aware that no amount of increasing the pressure is going to reduce any awake flagged events...those aren't real...the airway isn't really closed off despite the machine telling you it is. If you know you were awake you have to mentally remove those events from your evaluation of pressure needs. ...

Hi, I'm back with some more data (two nights) at the new pressure setting of 11.5 (up from 10.5). I'm thinking of going to 12.5 as the clusters of events seem to occur when I am awake or in REM. For example, using the Pillow and SnoreLab apps, on Feb 26 I rolled over at 2:34:23 am and coughed at 2:3...

Were you awake very much last night? I see at least one break in therapy so I know of at least one. The 00:45 cluster....do you think you might have been awake then? Try 11.5 cm pressure tonight. I often flop back and forth side-to-side during the night, and I remember doing so but not when. If I a...

Doesn't the DreamStation have a minimum runtime to consider a session valid? I've been using the Check Mask Fit feature (with the head gear off) to dry the hose, but I bet there is a better way. chunkyfrog has a good point. I should clean the hose less often.

Cheers

Yup, I turned on EZstart thinking it would start the ramp feature automatically instead of hitting the button when the CPAP started operating. /fail So, here is Friday night's results, with EZstart and CFLEX both off. Better, but I seem to be stuck in the tens range. Thank you! SH 2-22-2019.png

Damn. Good catch Bill! That's what I get for thinking I know what I am doing.

Cheers!

Holy crap. That's a big difference from a small change and definitely in the wrong direction. I assume that you feel like you slept fairly solidly at least for the bulk of the night???? Some questions... What position do you normal sleep in...especially last night. Do you take any medications of an...

please don't apologize for not knowing or understanding something. it's why the forum is here, to help out in your cpap journey! Thanks, Zonker. Everyone is busy and I don't want to waste anyone's time. Thank you for your warm words! I am just wondering if turning off Flex will make any difference ...

Gotcha. Sorry for being a newb and misunderstanding you at first. I did some searches and think I understand.

Thank you!

I manually hit the ramp button just to make it easier to fall asleep; however, I think that I've been doing this long enough that I won't have problem falling asleep. At this point, I'm willing to try anything! Thank you! EDIT: Oh, you mean Respironics Flex (C-Flex+). I'll turn that off as well! :)

Hello again, I'm not doing as well as I had hoped and am back seeking more advice. Specifically, what pressure should I manually set my CPAP machine to? To continue the story above, I've switched to a nasal pillow (+cervical brace) from a full face mask and that has helped reduce leaks as roll over ...

Thank you both!

Hi Again,

Hopefully this SH grab is formatted correctly. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? I was thinking of upping the minimum pressure. Any thoughts?

Thank you!
