VPAP Adapt SV Results

hpl · Post by **hpl** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 2:35 pm

I just began treatment for complex apnea using a ResMed VPAP Adapt SV. Is there a site that I can take a look at that explains some of the terminology, so as to help me get an idea of what these results refer to (e.g. VT, Resp Rate, MV)?
Thanks from a rookie!

Don't know about a site that explains all the terminology you're running up against, but here's a heck of a long thread about that machine.

This link will plop you in on page 22 (!) where you can get a taste of some of the discussion. Throughout that thread the posts I'd read most closely are the ones by christinequilts, StillAnotherGuest, and -SWS.

hpl...

Did you ever figure this out? I've been on the Adapt for almost a year, but it only records compliance data. Probably the only useful info you'll get out of it is average pressure and how many hours you slept the night before.

There is an updated version of the Adapt coming out that will provide AHI and other useful data, but it will not be released until after the holidays.

In the meantime, if you go to the ResMed site (http://www.resmed.com), you can pull up the brochures and owner's manual and stuff on the Adapt. Or I'll try to answer questions the best I can!

Hope that helps!

It's a shame they could not be more specific than "after the holidays." that could mean anythning. Thanksgiving, Xmas, Martun Luthor Day, even Bastille Day.

Has anyone heard if there will be a firmware upgrade to add AHI tracking capabilities to current VPAP Adapt SV machines? It is a bummer after having spent $175.00+ on ResScan when I had the VPAP III ST not being able to track AHI now that I am on the Adapt.

This is not a deal breaker though. I LOVE the Adapt. It is SO comfortable and I feel much better on it that I have on the other two ST machines I was on. But it would be nice to be able to track the AHI.
