Help with SleepyHead Software

Post by craiga » Fri Dec 27, 2013 10:25 pm

I still new to all of this. I recently downloaded the software. I have some questions on how to read and utilize the software. Is there any tips/tutorials on software? For example, I wonder why the software did not show the first month, was it because it was on modem (but it still had the chip installed) for insurance purpose? Second, understanding the meaning some of the language average leaks and % of leaks, flow rate, event flags, reading of AHI, mask pressure and pressure differences, resp. rate, tidal volume, minute vent, flow limitations, insp time, exp time, reading of the graphs, and other.

The good news is that last night MY AHI was 1.13 over and 2.5 over the last 30 days. The average pressure was 8.76 last night and 9.31 last 30 days. The average leak was 7.93 and 5.53 over last 30 days ( I am not sure if this is a good rating or not). The 95% leak rating showed 40.80 and 30 day showed 31.20 (again unsure of the rating).

Thanks for any feedback in advance
