F & P SleepStyle and AHI

[Steptoe]

I just purchased a F &P SleepStyle as a backup machine because of the Philips Respironic recall. I had been using the DreamStation since I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea seven months ago.

My average AHI with the DreamStation was around 4. In two nights of using the SleepStyle my AHI was reported as 0.8 and 1.2 On the first night I had SensAwake turned on and I had it turned off on the second night. My settings are 8 min., 12 max.

I am concerned that the AHI report on the SleepStyle may not be accurate. I realize I can’t download the new machine to OSCAR to get detailed information with the SleepStyle, but I find it very comfortable to use and I do believe my sleep has been better the past two nights using it.

Does anyone have an opinion as to the accuracy of the AHI readings I am getting with the F & P SleepStyle.

Thank you,
Steptoe

It is widely accepted that the ResMed algorithm is more effective than the Respironics algorithm. It's likely that the F&P algorithm is also more effective than Respironics.

Stop worrying and enjoy your new machine.
