readings-where and how do you find the info

Post by mtn aire » Sat Jul 28, 2012 1:03 pm

i see a lot of posts citing things like AHI etc. and details on the night's usage.
i would like to know things like how many apneas, hypopneas, centrals i experienced. i would like to be able to compare the data with how i felt i slept- how many times i recall awakening, etc.

the only thing i see on my machine (resmed s9vpap) is number of hours used during night. that is under display title of: Quality of Sleep

there is a sd 'chip' card loaded in the back- but that is all i know. i think the chip is just for reporting compliance to medicaid? just got the machine this week.

Go to the clinical menu and change the setting of "Sleep Quality" to ON

Software is available for your machine. Check my signature line for information on SleepyHead which will work with your machine.
Software shows a lot more detail than the data that is shown on the machine's LCD screen.
To see the data on the machine you have to go into the clinical setup menu and change the SleepQuality from usage to on.
You also need to check that on screen data prior to Noon because the machine resets itself for a new day at noon.
