Hello,
I know I shouldn't use a CPAP machine by myself but the time to wait to have an appointment for the sleep study and the cost was a problem, so I'm using a Devilbiss Intellipap Autoadjust since three days.
My sleep seems to be better but I would like to know if the pressure needs to be adjusted knowing that my AHI level is 3.5 and that the current settings are : Lower limit 4 cm / Upper limit 20 cm? Thanks

Re: Devilbiss Intellipap Autoadjust use without sleep study
You should download and install SleepyHead. The data it displays will be of great assistance
in deciding about pressure settings.
Here's SleepyHead:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/files/
And here's Pugsy's Pointers on the installation (on Windows) and use of SleepyHead:
viewtopic/t89008/Pugsys-Pointers-Collection.html
SleepyHead can be installed on Mac and Linux, but others will have to advise on this.
Once you have all of this working (it's really not difficult), make a post with some of your graphs
in it. (The pressure, leak, flow, and events graphs are the most important.) If you don't know
how to post images, let us know.
