Re: Resetting Data on the Remstar M Series

I noticed when I reset to zero that the next morning I had zero showing for an hour or more, then when I checked back later the data would be there. It didn't seem to update or respond as quickly when I had set to zero, but it did eventually show up.

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

You still need a higher minimum pressure.....like "10". The night before last, you had snores to drive up the pressure, which also (probably) took care of (preempted) many of the events......consequently you had a lower AHI. Last night you didn't have much to drive up the pressure and your AHI was ...

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

Thanks Ozij,
I will do as you suggest and give it a couple of weeks. I can certainly live with the way I feel now.

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

Report on last night's changes: I added Polygrip to my routine since the homemade chin strap was less than ideal. Oops, didn't know how much to use and I used way too much. Very effective and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Went to bed around 10:30PM, woke up shortly after 2 AM, wide awa...

Re: Resetting Data on the Remstar M Series

Hi Jeff, I copied this below from another thread I found. I will assume that you recognize this gets you into the Clinician's menu and you know to be careful with what you mess with in there. Were you wanting to erase data on the Smart card? This doesn't do that though I think there is some sort of ...

Re: A Night Without Sleep

Well I just had to go look and see just how the prices were.
The mask I use.
CPAP.com price $108
the sneaky spammer price $159

The machine and humidifier I use
CPAP.com price $669
sneaky spammer price $1,019

Needless to say, I won't go back.

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

Thank you Wulfman and Ozij for your thoughts. I do appreciate your input. I will set auto to max and see what happens. I looked back at my other data (that I didn't post) and I see a couple of OA clusters where there were no snores to drive the pressure up. For the past couple of months since I star...

Re: New User--help/question

I also am new and using the Swift LT for Her pillows. If you haven't tried seating them without being attached to the machine, give it a go. I found it was much easier to adjust the pillows so that I could inhale and exhale easily if I wasn't hooked up to the machine. Trying to adjust with air flowi...

Re: DME

Hi Slinky,
How does the use of a humidifier factor into Medicare equation? Billed separately if a separate unit like with my Respironics M Series?
Thanks

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

If there are no centrals in your Hx, I would prob bump it up 2-3cms to see if that helped. Keeping track of your sleeping position may prove helpful. Thanks, No history of any centrals. I did specifically ask this question to the doctor's nurse. I take Ultram for pain. While one of the cautions for...

Re: Newbie report on Encore software findings

I guess I need to up my maximum pressure a bit. Today I feel everyone of those clusters of OA's. Woke up with headache. Multiple awakenings last night. Very common for me because of pain issues. Melatonin trial the other night made me very dizzy. I fall asleep easily but wake often. And yes, had to ...

Re: Best night so far, comments or suggestions!!

Well done Mike. I am green with envy. Last night was my first good night but I am even more of a newbie than you are. One week now with my machine. I started off with C Flex at 1 to start with. I may turn it off later but only after I have some more good nights to refer to. Keep up the good work. Br...
