Is My CPAP Machine Going Bad?!?

I have a resend air curve 10 v auto - several days ago I noticed my ahi went up and i turned up the pressure - the ahi went higher and the pressure does not feel the same - it has around 10k hours - is there a way to test it to see if it’s going bad. ? Any possible way to fix it?

Thanks

Re: Is LEAK affecting my Treatment?

my leaks have been between 50-78 L/min per night - AHI last night registered 5 with a leak of 78, Whether that's "horrible" or "meh, not too bad" depends on what your pressures are, since you're using a Philps machine. Like Pugsy says, we need some data. https://www.cpaptalk.com/wiki/index.php/Osca...

Re: Is LEAK affecting my Treatment?

Need to see the detailed report to be able to answer your questions reliably. It all depends on how deep into large leak territory you went. As to "how to fix it" question.....you have to figure out the cause of the big leaks. It's either mask movement or mouth opening and the solutions for either ...

Doesn't sound good.

Which model mask are you using? Do you have dry mouth?

Go to youtube and watch four or five videos on fitting and adjusting your mask model?
ResMed AirFit N20 Nasal Mask -- no dry mouth ..

Re: ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto ???

This look ok? I’m not sure what ti max and ti min is ? Tx Don't change TiMin unless you know what you're doing, and have a good reason to do so, leave it at 0.7 seconds. feel free to increase TiMax unless you have some underlying lung disease that precludes that. The TiMin is set to standard 0.3 is...

Re: ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto ???

Yes, there is a way to restore the settings to the factory defaults. As well as there is a way to erase any old patient data on the machine...don't forget to erase the SD card as well. Go here and get the clinical provider manual via email. https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpa...
