Re: Low Score from Last Night's Sleep. Wait, what?!?

Any old SD card left in the machine overnight, then removed for results in computer (before noon - machine runs noon to noon and anything looked at afterward ... say at 2 pm... will only give 2 hrs of data). Look at instructions for posting Oscar data (and which not to bother with) and set things u...

Re: Low Score from Last Night's Sleep. Wait, what?!?

I totally understand about the one-thread deal. Also, I appreciate the explanation of myAir. I was taking it as gospel.

I downloaded and installed Oscar. How do get my sleep data to it?

Re: Low Score from Last Night's Sleep. Wait, what?!?

Totally agree about using Oscar - MyAir doesn't isn't much use compared to how comprehensive Oscar is re data to help you. Btw - please don't start new threads when you have one going from a few days ago - we can't keep track of your history properly to be able to help you, though would very much l...

Re: Low Score from Last Night's Sleep. Wait, what?!?

Ok, I just rechecked my score. Now it says 83! Maybe it hadn't compiled and uploaded the complete data when I first checked. 05:25 usage hours 54/70 (because I went to bed so late, I guess) Good mask seal 20/20 3.5 events per hour 5/5 3 mask on/off 4/5 (hmmmm) Total myAir score 83/100 Still, wonder ...

Low Score from Last Night's Sleep. Wait, what?!?

Hi all, I'm a new CPAP user. Almost a week, but not really, since I have been taking it off through the night due to having trouble exhaling. I was using the medium pillows. That's what came on my Swift FX headgear. Yesterday, after reading some posts about pillow problems, I changed out the mediums...

Re: New Here - Questions About Pillows and Problems Exhaling

The only change I wanted you to make to anything was turn EPR on to full time and set it to 2. Leave everything the same. We may have a problem though if the supplier wrote the settings through ResScan and they set EPR to be off and the software directions are on the SD card itself. It can be done ...

Nobody told you to set EPR to 6. We are all aware that EPR is limited to off, 1, 2 or 3.

Pugsy was explaining to you that EPR will never drop below 4, and she gave an example of using a pressure of 6 with EPR of 2.
Guess I misunderstood. My apologies.

Re: New Here - Questions About Pillows and Problems Exhaling

I was able to go into the Clinical settings mode. Min pressure was set to 6.0. Max pressure was set to 14.0. I was able to change the settings so that both min and max pressures were 6.0. Then I went out of the settings and it looked like it didn't keep my settings. Went back to 6.0 and 14.0. Just r...

Re: New Here - Questions About Pillows and Problems Exhaling

I don't think that I can adjust the EPR on mine. I've gone through all the settings and it's nowhere. Maybe it has been blocked or something?

New Here - Questions About Pillows and Problems Exhaling

Hi all, I'm new here. I received my CPAP machine last week and started trying to use it and am having problems. Seems when I go to bed, I am sleepy. After donning the mask, which are pillows, I become wide awake because of the breathing. Inhaling isn't too bad. Exhaling is not fun at all. Exhaling a...
