Nighttime bathroom/potty breaks

Post by Starlette » Wed Mar 24, 2010 7:24 am

Good morning everyone.

Can I turn off the machine without interrupting the data reading if i have to go to the bathroom at night, and then turn it back on when I return?
Usually tuck hose under pillow to reduce noise for Hubbs. Just trying to be considerate of Hubbs. More importantly though, I don't want the data reading to change either due to a quick trip to the bathroom if I turn it off.

Also, when I have a month's data, I want to post for you all to see. How do I link it?
P.S. The data I'm seeing thus far has been very impressive. So very very happy I switched.

I have the same machine. If you turn off the machine and then you turn it back on it, shows the pause in the data. It uses both period to calculate the AHI and everything else. This is why you do not see todays data till after 12:01pm.

Have you change the time zone settings? I had a similar problem before I didn't change it, I have my therapy split in two even if I didn't stop the machine.

If I have to go to bathroom or for any reason stop the machine, it will show a pause, but it will continue. You even see the pulse graph for the whole night and the pause (a flat line). It has never split the data into two since I changed the time zone.

In other words, it will use whole night data not matter how many times you stop.

I never knew. No one has ever said anything about it to me. How do I change it?
