Self Diagnosing need help reading and using machine

[DDWills95]

So when does everyone clean their hose? Husband is concerned about the heat going through the hose with the "water" creating mold. He has never cleaned anything on his. Yes I have read threads where some never clean theirs.

When I first started treatment, I cleaned the hose every week, until I found several small holes in that I think were caused by the hose brush. I have not cleaned a hose since then.

Most don't ever clean hoses - for decades even, unless you see or become aware of something in them.

I'll probably be cleaning my hose Tuesday.

Early AirSense 10 AutoSets didn't have the soft or standard response. I know because I have one.
If you don't see it...you don't have it. Don't worry about it.

How do you check if you have an early model?

[Okie bipap]

The third and fourth digits of the serial number is the year of manufacture. The first mention I can find of it was 2017, so any machine manufactured prior to that date probably does not have it.

You can get the year of manufacture from the serial number. The definitive way to determine model is through the Firmware Version in the About menu choice.

You will see a screen showing your Device and Humidifier Software (SW) release versions.
ie ResMed Air 10 devices
Device
SW SX 567-306

Humidifier
SW SX 556-204

Unfortunately, I haven't seen anybody compile a list of known fixes and features with their respective versions.

Just updating. I've had 3 nights where it was over 4 and 1 night close to 4 since we last talked. Still trying to read my charts on my own. Not worried about anything I'm sleeping fine.

[DDWills95]

How do I zoom in on oscar? Only problem I'm having. I have no idea how to work my laptop.

[DDWills95]

I think I've figured out how to zoom in. With the craziness in one chart is that me waking up or turning over? I think in the video I've been watching that would be yes. Just want to make sure.

Yes I've uploaded two charts to show the difference in the two.

[Dog Slobber]

When did you wake up?

Yes, some or most of the OAs at the end of your sleep session might be restlessness, or SWJ as you were wakening or awake.

But when we see OAs consistently through the night, there's a good chance your pressure (or minimum pressure) should be increased.

Zooming in on a few individual events really isn't as useful as seeing the whole graph and looking at events, pressure changes, flow limitations and the relationship between them.

So I started using my humidifier again after dealing with covid. It is pushing water into my mask. I have done everything to try to stop it. Its never done this before. Anyone have this happen? I put everything on auto. Read where someone said that fixed it. I do have a heated hose.

It's not pushing water into your hose or mask.
What you are having happen is condensation is happening in the mask or hose. I had it myself just the other night.
You probably have your bedroom a bit cooler than you used to and it's cooling the air in the hose or mask.

See this thread posts number 2 and 3 for various options

but the first thing I would do is turn the hose air temp to manual and turn up the temp to the air in the hose to help prevent the condensation from happening.

I will try that. It's been extremely humid here.

Well if it is humid there, you may not benefit from added humidity and will get congested... not much point in that.
