The concentrator doesn’t need to be in your bedroom.
You can get long tubing and place it in another room.

Re: ASV side effects
Actual CAs emerge out of the blue. Your brain stops telling you to take a breath.
The CAs in the AutoSet night had irregular breathing or OAs (and the resulting irregular breathing when you woke) right before them.
So they’re false positives.

Re: Inquiring minds
I had my initial HST done by a CPAP vendor. Confirmed the condition in an hospital sleep lab. FWIW the AHI results from the CPAP seller was twice that from the sleep lab (58 vs 29) I wasn’t a borderline case, but I’d be inclined to believe the vendor would had shaded the results to sell the equipmen...

Re: Puffing cheeks tape blows off causing leaks
What works for me: 1. fold the 2 inch MediPore in half 2. wet my lips 3. pucker up 4. then attach the tape This way the tape is not stretched tight against my mouth. There is some natural give.

Re: Please help me find a mask/solution that I can tolerate
You might want to test out the SleepWeaver cloth masks. They apply little pressure on the nose. I have used both the Elan and the 3D. I initially preferred the 3D because it felt more comfortable and seemed to seal better. But it whistles loudly whenever there's a large leak. Now I mostly use the El...

Hello, I'm a new user of airsense 11 from Taiwan, I wanted to download the OSCAR 1.4.0, but it shows 403 Forbidden. Late reply but wanted to give options for others that may be in the similar pickle.

Place the contraption on the bed and adjust so the pillows is between the knee and the buttocks 5. Tuck the other end under the wedge ...

Re: Thinking of trying Bleep - should I try old or new Eclipse?
Just curious as to whether you have tried or considered the cloth SleepWeaver 3D mask.

The headgear feels confining but the mask itself is very light on the skin. I use it whenever my nares are irritated by pillow masks.

Re: Wellvue O2-ring privacy concern
You're more likely to leak personal info via your phone than via your PC since your phone is always connected. The big connector is likely an UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) because the o2ring is likely a serial device. Some versions of android prior to version 12 required locatio...
