AHI question.

Post by Hosehead4ever » Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:39 pm

Would someone please tell if the on screen AHI number on the PRS1 is last night's average or an average since the last time the card was read?

Doesn't it say whether it's a 7-day average? I forgot what that screen looks like, but I think it's a 7-day average. You need a clinician's manual, but I don't know the link to it.

You may be able to get that information in the Clinician's Manual if it is available from ApenaBoard.com

It should show both 7 day and 30 day average on same screen. But it should also say 7 day and 30 day next to it.
It does not show a one night result.
Someome else will likely send a link to the manual. Mine is a little different than yours.

It is a running 7 day average or the 30 day average. Makes no difference whether data has been looked at, downloaded or whatever. It just adds the AHI and divides by the number of hours slept during that 7 day (or 30) period.

For single night data you need the daily reports and the software. Do you want the software?

Clinician manual can be obtained if you don't have one and want it. I don't have one for your machine but I bet someone here does or you can request one here at this link. Follow directions and they will email you one.

http://www.apneaboard.com/CPAP%20Adjustment.htm scroll down a bit to see the instructions. Some machines have direct downloads of manual but not yours.
