m-series AHI access

Been using my M-series apap for two nights. How do I access the AHI info? When I look at the data screens, it skips past that AHI screen and the LEAK screen. Help?

1. Hold down both the left and right (<-) (->) buttons while simultaneously plugging the power supply into the back of the device. Once the device beeps twice, it is in the setup mode and you can release the buttons.

Navigation:
-Press the plus (+) key to enter setup OR left and right (<-) (->) buttons to enter Data Menu.
-Use the left and right (<-) (->) buttons to navigate to the next/previous screen.
-Use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust settings or change values.
-When you have finished modifying the settings, press the On/Off button to exit setup mode and return to User mode.

Additional Settings Info/Descriptions:
Mask Alert: This alert will indicate when the device has detected a mask leak. You can enable or disable the alert (default=disabled).
Split Night Time: This setting indicates the amount of time spent in CPAP therapy before transitioning to Auto-CPAP therapy (default=Off, 120, 180, or 240 minutes).
Show AHI/Leak: You can select weather or not the Apnea/Hypopnea Index and System Leak averages display on the LCD data screens (default=disabled, enable this).
Patient Reminder: Using the EncorePro software, you can set a customized text message that will periodically display to the User. The Reminder screen lets you specifiy how often the reminder will appear (every 90 days, 180 days, etc.).

Settings:
Therapy Mode=AUTO (CPAP or AUTO)
Comfort Type=A-Flex (C-Flex or A-Flex)
Auto:Max=20 (default=20, Only appears in AUTO mode)
Auto:Min=6.5 (default=4, Only appears in AUTO mode, set to 6.5 or higher)
Flex Setting=2 (default=1, Off, 1, 2, or 3)
Ramp Time=30 (default=0:05-45 minutes)
Ramp Start Pressure=6.5 (default=4 to Auto:Min, only appears if Auto:Min >4 cm)
Mask Alert Feature=Off (default=off)
Auto Off Feature=Off (default=off, should be off doesn't work that well)
Show AHI/Leak Feature=ON (default=On, you want this on to get LCD data)
Patient Reminder=Off (Off, 90, 180, 270,365 days)

To view data:
1. Hold down both the left and right (<-) (->) buttons while simultaneously plugging the power supply into the back of the device. Once the device beeps twice, it is in the setup mode and you can release the buttons.

2. Press the left and right (<-) (->) buttons to navigate to the Therapy Usage screen to observe data, should give you AHI information for 7 and 30 days averages, should also display number of days used >4hrs per night, 90% pressure, leak etc.

To REST LCD Data to zero, while at the Therapy Usage screen hold down the minus (-) button for 5 seconds.

Thank you Snoredog!!!!

Just a short rant here---Why in the world do "they" set up the machines to block the AHI information for the LCD screen? Makes no sense. I know they blocked some of my stuff, but can't remember if the AHI screen was one of them (probably). As soon as I got home with it, I read on here how to access and change everything myself.

What possible reason can there be to block any information on the stupid screen!



Sorry, done now.

So I had a similar problem with my brand new System One. Posting this in case other folks googling this problem wind up here.

The day I brought it home, and the morning after, I could see AHI and leak and such. The later in the day after my first night with the cpap, it was gone. Three hypotheses on what may have caused this:
- i loaded sd card data into my mac, which wrote some hidden files. I deleted those files and now only insert the sd card when it's write protected
- I have a cellular modem attachment which clearly allows my cpap to send info out, I wonder if it can also respond to config requests.
- Maybe after 24 hours it just stops showing this info

Regardless, it was easy to fix. After doing some research, I figured out how to log into the clinician menu. From there the only option I had to change was something like "show AHI/pressure" to On. Now I can see the data. To enter this menu, go to Setup then hold the dial button and the ramp button until you hear a beep. Then just go to setup and change it there.

For more info on how to get into clinician menu google this or check out apneaboard (I'm a guest and can't insert links)

As to why I was using the SD card, I was loading the data onto my computer to use sleepyhead. Sleepyhead's latest binaries don't support my machine, so I used windows (through parallels). Worked great there.
