First set of numbers with loaner machine

Post by SheZAAM! » Sat Jan 24, 2009 11:25 am

I checked my numbers this morning after using my loaner (ResMed S8 Vantage) machine last night:

Pressure: 9.6
Leak: 0.00L/s
AHI: 0.9
AI: 0.1
HI: 0.8
Used 9 hours
Loaner machine has 2297 hours.

If I'm not mistaken, that's pretty good, right?

check what mask is in the menu if you haven't already done so - assuming it is a swift or another mask with a close flow rate, the numbers are GREAT -

maybe all you need is time to repay the sleep debt (and btw, I get a hell of a hangover from melatonin myself so maybe some of that too)

I made sure the menu for mask said "Swift".

Interesting that the machine said pressure of 9.6. My HMO originally said to set it to 9, then when I said I was still tired, they told me to try 10. But I tried 10 a few weeks ago and blew up like a balloon, so I'll keep it at 9.6 once I return the loaner.

I may play around with increasing the min. pressure. I really like this EPR feature!

I haven't taken any Melatonin in 3-4 nights. I really don't need to anymore.

Sure hope I feel more awake soon. I'm looking forward to feeling "zesty"!
