MyEncore

Does anyone know if Derek is working on a fix for MyEncore to work with EncorePro 1.6.22? It seem pretty much broken for me as only a few charts work.

It works fine with that version, on my "Tank". Everything works fine on my "Tank" Jim

I have empty charts for Daily Pressures, Dialy Leaks, FLI vs Pressure, Daily FLI, Var Breating, Secs in Apnea, Av Apnea Duration

Does the data show up in Encore Pro?

I also have those charts you are missing showing up fine. I downloaded MyEncore about a month or two ago and installed that same version you have on my computer a couple of days ago.

Weird. I wonder why mine are missing? One other person also mentioned they where missing the same charts.

But we have those ridiculous oversized "Tanks", it may be the extra weight may be holding all the data on our cards.

Actually MyEncore, wasn't designed to be compatible with the "M", as the "M", didn't exist, nor did the new software. That would have taken some foresight in programming, but it seems to work for some.

MS Server's version was changed, in the latest version of Encore Pro. Jim

Does anyone with a Series M have all the charts working?
thanks, -James

I have a BiPAP with the charts not recording above 16 cm, and so forth. The data is in EncorePro, and therefore SQL Server.

I emailed Derek a couple of weeks ago. No response to date. Does anyone know him personally here?

I just looked at your reports (from the other thread) where you posted them, all your charts are appearing correctly for a Pro machine. The Pro doesn't display all fields available on the Auto's report (i.e. the machine type dictates what charts/panels you get displayed in the report). The Bipap Auto has even more panels/fields than available to the basic Auto machine.

Truncated Daily Reports: Your reports are truncated, that can happen if you start/stop the machine during the night and/or testing it before sleep. If you look at your 11/10/2006 report, you will see it only goes from 4:13PM to 4:50PM on the same day, pretty early to go to sleep?

If you also stop therapy for a bathroom break it will truncate the report (leave a blank in the data). Depending on how long that break lasts, it can truncate to another page. If you have NOT been stopping your machine then the database data appears corrupt (may need to erase the card and start over).

Looking at the Oct13.pdf report, you have lots of residual OA (apnea) and HI (Hypopnea) events. I'm resistant on making a suggestion unless I know the details of your PSG. That being, if you have CA (Central Apnea) and/or MA (Mixed apnea) denoted on your study. If they were noted on that PSG, you need to know the pressure where they start. Then you must stay below that pressure even if OA and HI's remain.

When you are at risk of CA's, there is a fine line between treating obstructive events and avoiding centrals with cpap. If those remaining AHI events are mixed, you may fall into the CSDB condition. You might do well on a Remstar Autopap, but you have to be careful in setting the machine up (for you, I would suggest AFLE mode, Min=6.0cm Max=8.5cm, clfex on 2 if you wish). The idea behind the autopap is you run lower pressure during the night which avoids central events. Then you limit how far it can increase to manually avoid them, e.g. treat everything you can obstructive but avoid centrals at all costs.

The missing charts problem was in MyEncore. Encore Pro is working fine for me.

I don't have a copy of the titration study. I'll try to get a copy of that next week. I had two regular sleep studies earlier in the summer, only one single central during the first, none the second. No mixed either night. I assume you need to see the titration study though since you need to see if high pressure caused any centrals or mixed...

cwsanfor - did you check the options(profile/preferences... something like that... it's the first page that comes up on mine) page?? Is it set to handle your max pressure?? If it's not set to more than 15, you won't see more than 15.

if NO CA's or MA's were seen on your PSG's or titration studies, then you need to try a pressure increase (you tried 7,8 9, try 10 or even 11cm) and better control mask leak. If the pressure increase is the right direction things should get better not worse.

I'm defiantly going to keep increasing slowly. The fact that I got a 4.5 last night for the first time is hopeful. I've dropped from an average of about 10 AHI when I first got my Pro to now at about an 8 AHI with a pressure increase of 2cm so I'm headed in the right direction. I was going slow (.5 at a time) since I was having lots of mouth leak problems.

Snoredog wrote: Are you sure you are not mouth breathing?

Pretty sure as I have been mouth taping for about 2 weeks now. The large leak last night was my fault as I woke up early and decided to take the tape off to see if I still had the problem (Like it was magically going to go away, hey I can keep hoping )

Snoredog wrote: You have several instances of LL on your reports, that can be a sign of mouth breathing OR mask leak.

Yeah those nights where non typical as of late, not sure what happened on the 10th. Here are the charts of the nights just proceeding the most recent ones that I posted earlier: http://james.istop.com/apnea/Oct10.pdf These charts are much more typical of my leak rate as of late. Do they look more acceptable or should they still be better?
