Re: Help Needed from over the Pond!

Would love to get my hands on the data card and reader but they are just not available over here, Ive seen the card readers on ebay but have never seen a data card for sale on the net.

Re: Help Needed from over the Pond!

I never underwent a formal titration as following my sleep study (home sleep study) gave an AHI of 108, the doctor didn't want to wait and I was set up with an APAP range 6-18. Results on that setting were around AHI 1.5 with 90% pressure 13.5. I noticed on my Encore readings that most apnea's happ...

The FX has a reputation of being a beast, most have said the first few nights are great then it turns into a leak monster

Re: Help Needed from over the Pond!

Side note for anyone contemplating an increase in pressure...go up in small stages even if you think you may end up higher. 1. You might be surprised and you don't need as much as you originally thought. 2. Going up in stages of 1 or 2 cm (or even less) is so much easier to get used to. For someone...

Re: Help Needed from over the Pond!

OHHHHHHHHHHHH its so nice to listen to people who are wise, Ive waited for so long for someone to explain that, now the penny drops with a shattering of brain matter So now I understand again like most I thought the increase in preasure was immediate, the minute an apnea was detected the preasure wo...

Re: Help Needed from over the Pond!

What pressure were you originally titrated at? What is the upper range of your pressure set at? If your average pressures for both Wednesday and Thursday were over 10, why not bump your lower pressure to 10 and see what happens to your AHI? My original AHI was at 65. Wouldnt setting my APAP so high...
