Re: Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

At the end end of the day I’d rather not have any pulses to determine apnea type when there are other ways to do it that don’t involve changes to the airstream delivery. I'm curious, what do you think would be another option, short of belts on your chest and stomach? Analysis of the data waveforms ...

Re: Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

It seems the ResMed and Philips are the most popular and both have some form of it... Only Resmed has FOT. My mistake, I was referring to the Respironics system that essentially works the same by using Pressure pulses to determine if an apnea is central or obstructive... I haven’t seen a trademark ...

Re: Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

So... definitely the FOT that is keeping me from getting good sleep. It seems there’s no way to disable?

Are there other options (a different machine perhaps) that don’t use FOT? It seems the ResMed and Philips are the most popular and both have some form of it...

Re: Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

The majority of your events appear to be centrals. I don't know if they're really centrals or just SWJ (sleep wake junk). Try adjusting the exhalation relief (up, down or completely off) and see which setting is the most comfortable (or gives the best results). You AHI should be under 5 (I think lo...

Look down in the Rs for the AirSense 10 AutoSet. For some reason it got stuck down there instead of up in the As with all the other AirSense/AirCurve models.
Thanks! At least I finally figured this part out

Re: Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

Thanks for all the replies so far... I did indeed select the wrong machine, though the AutoSet for Her seems the closest match in the equipment list, so that's what i just selected in my updated profile... When I say the "machine adjusts to me", I'm basically saying that after a bit of time, it keep...

Help a newbie adjust / Is my machine working right?

Hi everyone, I'm in desperate need of some advice (even if it is to suck it up and keep at it...) I was diagnosed with mild obstructive apnea, and prescribed a machine which I received about 2 weeks ago. Machine is a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet, with a Philips Dreamwear full face mask. The mask is co...
