Re: Switching to ResMed S9 from System One–what should I know?

What I remember seeing: there is no "read-only" data reading mode (Patient menu) in System One.
The data is there to be read, but you can accidentally change some settings.
And leaks are expressed in percentages, I recall (vaguely - I might be wrong here).

Re: SleepyHead info - where?

I don't know if the EDF is used with ARC38, but I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find out in Linux: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libacr38u BTW, about the EDF description: what does "8 ascii" mean? 8 bits or bytes? 8 ascii : version of this data format (0) 80 ascii : local patient identificat...

Re: SleepyHead info - where?

Like I mentioned in my previous message, I suddenly found the wiki. Great. It may not answer all questions, but seems it answered all my questions. Have you planned to add smart card reader support? I have S8 Autoset, and to try the SW I probably need to make a personal kludge for ARC-38 to it. That...

Re: SleepyHead info - where?

I'm a bit worried about the mailing lists. Are these mailing lists open to everyone? I once joined the linux kernel mailing list (after installing my first Red Hat Linux at the end of 1990's) and I had to get a new e-mail account. Very soon my mailbox was constantly full of spam. That probably answe...

Re: "(CPAPTALK) would be the last place on earth . . ."

I too looked at the thread, and to me it looks mostly like MD:s saying to techs something like:
"Shut up, techs. If you are telling what the results mean, the MDs look bad. What do people think the MDs are needed
for if any tech can do what the MDs are paid to do."

SleepyHead info - where?

Is there anywhere that you can find about which sleep-turbos it supports and which media?
Which windows versions does it support?

I'm writing here, because many others may be interested too, and because it looks like
jedimark is quite involved with the development.

Re: Interpreting data?

RERA is there:

"RERAs: Respiratory effort related arousals. Episodes that are not apneas or hypopneas, often related to loud snoring, that generally do not cause a decrease in oxygen saturation."

I believe there is not much that can be done to CA.
They are mostly (I think) centrals.

Re: What does bipap do that cpap doesn't

And yes, you are correct. The BiPAP has two different pressures for each breath. One for inhaling and a lower one for exhaling. My doctor put me on BiPAP because she felt my high pressure on my APAP machine wasn't allowing me to exhale fully. My CPAP machine says it does that (decrease pressure on ...

Re: Normal Level air flow

What do you mean with "normal pressure" or "normal flow"?

If you mean most common CPAP pressure (95% median on APAPs), maybe you should make a poll.

About normal flow - that's harder. If it's of any help, I remember that the vital capacity of an adult
is typically 4 - 5 litres.
