Mollete happens to have a keen sense of exactly WHAT KIND of information people on this forum are looking for!

Kevin, if you think about some previous threads that pushed a few buttons around here, you'll figure out what inspired "our boy"!

Hi all,

Is there any such report for the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP Auto-Adjust?

For the past 5 years, I've had a Phillips Respironics (can't remember the model, perhaps M series?) - very old with the old kind of card. I had Encore Viewer 2.0, that only worked on a 32-bit laptop and my AHI was mostly below 1.0. A few years ago I replaced my laptop but discovered that Encore Viewer didn't work on 64-bit. I know some people were able to get it to work but I think they were people who had the more recent Respironics with a different kind of card (am I showing that I'm REALLY NOT techie???). So I kept that old laptop just for checking my apap stats.

A few weeks ago, my old Respironics started giving up the ghost so I decided I needed a new machine given that it was almost 5 years old anyway. Checking out cpap.com, I saw that newer Respironics didn't seem to have software at all and the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP seemed pretty well rated so I bought it. It's a cute little machine but now my AHI is way up and I'm not really understanding the graphs very well. I downloaded SleepyHead and I'm not understanding that much either. I guess my increased AHI is affecting my brain???? So I'm here to re-educate myself.

I'll be posting something asking to have someone help me with all of this once I can find a link that explains how people put pictures of their graphs in their posts.

Sigh, honestly, I'm really not stupid but just feeling very un-techie and overwhelmed right now. whine.

So I'm reading through everything I can to figure out how to ask for help.

In the inspiratory Flow
Limitation graph, the
taller the bar, the more
severe the limitation.

So, this graph is inspiratory only?

The link to the ResMed ResScan Interpretation Guide is broken. The following link from Apnea Board works.

The Philips link is dead.

Can someone put a new link or make the PDF available somehow?

Thanks in advance.

Have right at it. You're welcome to post one yourself.

Especially if you don't like the one posted in this link.......just a little ways down the page from this one.
