Numbers are a little better ~

Post by Barb (Seattle) » Sat Oct 08, 2005 8:09 am

At a pressure of 8.4 the AHI is 16.9, but the AI is only .4
Leak was 0.18 which I guess is good...

Still going to the doctor next week though, I'm still tired Image

Hi Barb,

The mask you are using could greatly skew your numbers. To get the most accurate HI numbers, you would most likely need to use a Resmed mask with a Resmed Auto. I used a VPAP III and have really high HI numbers with a breeze mask. The Spirit is calibrated to specific Resmed masks.

There is a mask setting menu in the clinical menu. It has serveral masks to choose, but all are Resmed.

Food for a thought,

Ted

Wow...something I never thought about *scratching chin*

Unfortunately, the Mirage Full Face mask leaked like a sieve, so I have to use SOME type of full face mask...
