Current State

Post by sleepyprm » Thu May 14, 2009 5:08 pm

Hello all, I'm still new to this site but have been using CPAP for a couple of years, complying in ignorance. I'm finally starting to ask some questions and learning from this website. How does one find out how many apneas we are having per hour? Is it on the Smart Card?

I'm on travel right now, it's after 1 a.m. and guess what? Can't sleep.

Thanks for all this good information, it's overwhelming.

Hi, sleepyprm. If the machine you have listed in your profile is correct, you don't have any data info to access. It only provides compliance data (i.e., usage hours) so that the insurance company has proof that you're using it. Sorry.
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy. ;))

PR S1 ASV 950, DreamWear mask, F&P 150 humidifier, O2 @ 2L.
