I see people talking about ahi, leaking, sleep hours, etc

Post by gmoorhouse » Tue May 06, 2008 6:06 am

I have a REMstar MSeries CPAP (it does not say plus or pro on it) can I view this (sleep hours, apnea, leaking, ahi, etc.)
info and if so how to do such?

I also have thyroid issues so I would like to know if I need to improve or have something done to my cpap or if it is the other issues. I have taken the cpap in for adjustment but I feel about the same. when the adjustemnt (increase in pressure) was made I did not see them download anything nor look at any data......



Thanks.

There should be paperwork that came with your machine that will tell you what machine you have. Not all machines will give you this data.

If it does not say Pro or Auto it won't give you any of the data that most of us use to make sure our therapy is working. If it does not say anything it is most likely the very bottom of the line DS100 (Only has 2 buttons on the top) model which won't give data or have exhalation relief or have a card reader slot with a smart card. You can look on the bottom for the model number but if it has the heated humidifier you will have to seperate it from the humidifier to see it.

Unfortunally this is what so many DME's push off on patients who don't know any better because they make more money on it. Without C-Flex exhaluation relief they wonder why so many patients become non compliant.

Sorry!! If you have not had it to long you might try to get your supplier to exchange it but it is generally a real fight.
