Re: Six-year-old Airsense 10 sometimes undercounting usage hours

Where are you seeing the number of hours of use not being reported? On the machine LCD screen or other software source??? On the morning where it seems to be under reported on the LCD screen was the machine turned off and some point in the night??? Bathroom break maybe? The LCD Screen report isn't ...

Six-year-old Airsense 10 sometimes undercounting usage hours

I have an Airsense 10 purchased new in late 2019. It has almost 20,000 total usage hours and I have a replacement on its way. For the past month, every now and then - 0-2 times a week - it will greatly undercount my usage hours. I normally have the mask on from around 10 at night to 6 in the morning...

Re: Airsense 10 - why does dial light in middle of night

Not a fan of firmware updates during my therapy! :lol: :lol: I don't think that you have to lose sleep worrying about that happening. ResMed is real stingy with their over the air upgrades....I know of one...maybe 2 in all my 15 years using cpap. I was not aware you could 'pause' a session... I jus...

Airsense 10 - why does dial light in middle of night

I've had my Resmed Airsense 10 for five years, and it works great, and I'm comfortable with CPAP, which is why I don't come to this site often. But I noticed something odd this week for the first time ever - in the middle of the night, rolling over, I saw the dial/knob on it light up. I asked my wif...

Re: Can a burp count as an event?

Clarifying what I said, the AHI was 1.7. Are you concerned about an AHI of 1.7? It's easy to register that in a night of normal, healthy sleep. But to answer your question, a burp that is 10 seconds or longer might possibly be registered as an event. Thank goodness, none of my burps would have regi...

And just what was your AHI last night? As far as we know, it was 1.0. Or maybe 10.0.
Clarifying what I said, the AHI was 1.7.

Which is 2-3x normal.

Can a burp count as an event?

Last night I had the same restful sleep I always do, but my AHI was 1.7 - 2-3x normal, and unusual for when I know I slept well. But I did have a spicy dinner, and, especially right after going to bed, was burping a lot. Can a burp be counted as an event, thus driving up my AHI number?

Re: Air pillow roulette - change pillows, and my leak score soars

Well, if only all problems were that simple.

With the water tank closed properly, my leaks dropped from average of 20+ over the past several days, to 1 lpm last night!

Re: Air pillow roulette - change pillows, and my leak score soars

Just to cover the bases: Are you completely sure you're using the same size of pillow at each change-over? Is it possible the leaks are coming from your mouth? And have you tried figuring out whether you do in fact have a leak somewhere between the machine and the mask? Absolutely sure on size - al...

Re: Air pillow roulette - change pillows, and my leak score soars

Most days I gently use a warm washcloth to clean...

Air pillow roulette - change pillows, and my leak score soars

I find a horrible inconsistency on "fit" for my Airsense 10 nasal pillows. Out of ignorance and inertia, I used my first air pillows for five months, cleaning daily of course. For the last six weeks, I was essentially at 0-2 lpm leak each night - 2/3 of that time was zero leaks. When I got my first ...

A night without CPAP

Not the dumbest thing I've done, but not the smartest either. Just playing "what if," I tried a night without CPAP after more than a year using it. I'll often feel "at one" - with the room, with my wife - as I turn out the lights, and masking up certainly ends that "at-one-ness." Which is a main rea...

Thanks. I sort of figured/hoped this was normal, but wanted to get my arms around what had happened.

"Drowning" effect went away - thoughts?

One of the phenomena I experienced on starting CPAP a year ago this month, was a "drowning" sensation if I opened my mouth, followed by, essentially, a "suction" that would close my mouth. Which is as it probably should be; I use nasal pillows, so the CPAP benefits are delivered 100% through the nos...

Re: humidity off & empty water chamber ok?

I have an Airsense 10. Two months after I started on CPAP, my experience was optimized enough that I was complaining about the air temperature and the humidity. Turning my humidity down from the midpoint initial setting felt great, and I incrementally went down to zero, and it was great and I've bee...
