Finding AHI results on Air curve 10

Post by armyretired » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:30 pm

Just got a new BIPAP but don't know how to find the AHI data in the morning. Can anyone help.

Thanks, Jeff

How to get to the data available on the machine's LCD screen is explained in the clinical manual.
With the AirSense machines you have to change a setting called Essentials from "usage" to "Plus". I am thinking you have to do the same thing with the AirCurve machine.
Go here and request a copy of the clinical manual to see how to get into the clinical setup menu to make the change and see the data.
I don't think the user manual will tell you.

Follow the directions for requesting the manual via email.

You can also use the available software to see your data. You can read about your software options here

Welcome,
This guide will show you how to access the settings and also the sleep report on the VAUTO and S models. https://www.resmed.com/content/dam/resm ... ow_eng.pdf
SleepyHead software will show you much more detailed information. You can learn how to download it here. https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead

Thank you both for the help. I wish the AHI would just show up on the screen like it did with my old S-9. Just one button pushed and it would appear.
The doc switched me to BIPAP mode after last study. I got two days ago a respironics dream station that I liked. Showed daily AHI, weekly average and Monthly average. Why can't resmed have something that user friendly? Thanks for listening.

Jeff

When you first turn it off in the morning it does show up on the LCD screen for a short time. When you get used to the machine I think you will like it. Be sure and get the Clinical manual that Pugsy linked to and you will learn a lot about your machine.
