New to A Flex

So I was on Cpap for a month and went to the Apap. I don't know about you but I felt an immediate difference. I felt that I got some of my best sleep in a while.

My therapist was useless, so I have a question for the brain trust. The Aflex part is to assist me with the exhalation or does it detect when I'm breathing as well.

Can anyone point out the important differences between the M Series Cpap that I had before and the AFlex M Series Cpap that I have now.

Thanks Trust,

Reed

It smoothes out the pressure curve to make breathing more natural.

I am DEFINITELY not a member of the "brain trust", but I will give you my 2 cents worth!

For me, it just allows a much more comfortable smooth ride on the exhale, not so much resistance. If you're feeling better, you probably have the AFLEX adjustment set right for you, is my thinking. If you notice any decline in how you feel, you can adjust the amount of pressure relief.

Good luck!
