Re: How do I "simulate" an apnea event to see if my CPAP works

To the OP: There's no need to do this! Presumably, you've already been diagnosed. If the machine is working your AHI should be under five (preferably way under 5). This is all the confirmation that you need! Sadly it often isn't. I see that I have a lot to learn and I suspect most of my events are ...

Re: How do I "simulate" an apnea event to see if my CPAP works

Can you explain a little more what you mean by "Using the software and zooming in up close". I'm looking at the LCD screen and it measures events within 1 decimal place. So if I'm averaging 4.1 events per hour, one additional event should alter that number. Since that number isn't changing it means...

Re: How do I "simulate" an apnea event to see if my CPAP works

I have an AirSense 10 Autoset. I held my breath for 50 seconds which is about as long as I can hold it and it didn't adjust the events counter. So does this mean I've been not breathing for more than 50 seconds? Or is the data generated by my machine random BS?
