Best Place to Find Report Info??

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:28 am

OK, got my card reader, got my Encore Pro, got it all to work, got the reports, NOW WHAT?? Is there someplace I can get info on what is good and what is bad? This puppy give me a 12 page report on just about everything that is going on with me and my BiPap but I don't have a clue at what I am looking at or what is good or bad. Other then how I feel I would like to be able to look at the reports and understand what happens when I make adjustments. My Rx is 20I and 14E but I like it better when I have the unit on "auto" and it usually runs at 20I and 18E. I want to be able to try both and see what the reports say is best for me. Any direction you can point me would be super. //mike//

Well the best source of information would be from your doctor or sleep profeswsional / RT, but that's probably not your question. If you want to have the forum read the report and give you some feedback and pointers, the best way is to print the report to a PDF (portable document format) file like Acrobat, and post the link at an online file hosting service. You can then post the link here, or even post images of the data like below. There are lots of free and low cost PDF printing utilities.

Sleeprider, are you aware from your posted daily, you appear to be mouthleaking with that nasal mask, and the leak rate in excessive for that mask and pressure. The starting pressure could be higher too. Jim

That chart is from before I switched from the ComfotClassic Nasal to the Swift LT. Leak rate is currently less than half, with much lower max leaks.

for 6/16 average leak was 25 and 90% leak was 32 LPM. Going back to June 3, it was 43 / 60 LPM. Getting leaks under control was a hassle, and I bought my current mask out of pocket rather than mess around with Apria who seems really reluctant to make any changes unless I can prove medical necessity.
