For Canadians; Unable to find Prescription Info, device data unhelpful.

Hi. I'm looking to sell my ResMed Airsense 11. I was diagnosed with very mild sleep apnea a couple of years ago. I tried to use it, but found it made my sleep worse, if anything. I'm pretty sure the machine has less than 150 hours on it, but I am having a hell of a time getting information on this thing. It's in great, near mint condition, but I wanted to have the pressure settings and app detail on hand.

My insurance does not keep records of my request for reimbursement past a certain date (paltry though it was). It also does not appear that my ResMed machine has a data card (information transmitted tirelessly to my sleep doc at the time).

I'm fed up and stumped. What canni try to get my data so I can sell this dang thing? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Easy peasy.

Steps to Access the Clinical Menu:Go to the Home Screen: Ensure the device is powered on and at the main screen.

Activate Menu: Press and hold both the blue "My Options" button and the purple "My Sleep View" button at the same time for 3-5 seconds.

Confirm Entry: The screen will change to a white background, and "Clinical Home" will appear at the top.

Navigate: Tap "Settings" to adjust, or navigate to other options.

Key Settings Available in Clinical Mode:Mode: Switch between AutoSet (APAP) and CPAP mode.Pressure: Adjust Minimum and Maximum pressures (or a set pressure).

Response: Set to Standard or Soft to adjust pressure increase speed.

EPR: Adjust Expiratory Pressure Relief (breathing out comfort).

Patient View: Set to "Advanced" to allow access to more data in the normal user menu.

Tube & Mask: Configure settings for different masks (pillows vs. full face) and tubing types.

To return to the normal user menu, click the "exit" or "home" button.

You can also see the machine hours. A savvy buyer will want to know this.

There are several videos on YouTube that show how to enter the clinical menu and view or change the settings.

What about you? Are you just going to be miserable with sleep apnea and the array of awful health conditions it eventually can cause? Or are you going to start a new thread and engage in a discussion that helps you adjust to CPAP?

Thank you SO much!!

To answer the above, while I don't doubt the diagnosis I received, I havent used my machine in well over a year. In that time, I landed a partner who had been able to confirm that even instances of me snoring has been minimal; he can count them on one hand and had only mentioned an apnea episode once.

I stopped using the machine over a year ago when I found my quality of sleep didn't improve, and in some cases worsened while using it. I was never able to fully relax/settle and found myself disturbed awake more often than not. Honestly, I have been able to find that just sleeping on my side has been more than sufficient in preventing episodes of apnea, and my weightloss has helped too! I had a hysterectomy a few months ago and it's reduced SO much errant inflammation in my body, I can't help but wonder if that was a majorly contributing cause to some of my persistent sleep issues.

I anticipate probably needing something again in the future, but by then I suspect my needs/prescription will have changed and my machine will be obsolete. Thank you for asking though, thats a very thoughtful question.
