Re: SD card error

Buy a new SD Card. The detail data from last night's session can't be retrieved, but the summery data can, as soon as you put your new SD Card in. So, the card is no good? I don't know. Probably not. There is a chance it can be revived. If I had it in my possession, there's some trouble-shooting th...

SD card error

This morning my machine said SD card error, remove your SD card. So I did. It didn't record anything last night. I tried to put it back in, it said error again. Any suggestions?

Re: boiling cushions

I have read threads about boiling cushions to revive them. They mention adding baking soda. Does anyone do this? Is the baking soda necessary? How much do you use or do you boil with just water? Thanks. Here are 70 comments on the subject - https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t74686/Boiling-Stuff-Pa...

Re: 3rd party nasal-pillow replacements. Evil?

Regarding ebay, they have improved considerably since I started using them when they were a newer platform. Back then it buyer beware with no recourse for the buyer if they got ripped off. Now it is more seller beware. It is easy for a buyer to open a dispute, and ebay will refund if the seller does...

Re: Best airflow nasal mask

Thanks for all the help For some reason, I was hesitant to play around with the settings- I was afraid that since my doctor and the company get information from my machine, it could cause a problem. Plus, I thought the only way to change things was to get a script from my doctor, fax it to my suppl...

Re: stuck

OK, thanks. I read all the advice. I haven't looked at OSCAR in awhile. I'm trying to remember what all this means. I started therapy in March. My OA dropped pretty quickly, but the Centrals persisted. I slowly started feeling a bit better and got some better numbers, but they were intermittent. Eve...

Re: stuck

this will also increase the other events but will reduce the CA's. Only will work if EPR is the trigger/cause for the CAs/centrals. EPR triggering centrals isn't all that common and doesn't always cause centrals. You need to explain this little detail when you offer your (and Jason's) advice on usi...

Re: Best airflow nasal mask

I agree. It's probably a pressure thing. I'm using an N30 without any feeling of restricted airflow unless the pressure is too low. I start at 7 now. I do have an EPR of 3.

I seem to be stuck with an AHI of around 3.5 - 4 most nights. OSCAR says they are mostly centrals. How can I tell? I'm now at constant pressure of 10. Very tired. Here's a recent screen shot. Not sure what I should be zooming in on.

Re: CPAP that will work without humidifier

I have a side panel for my 11. It's handy, and it wasn't expensive.
