Resmed Aircurve AHI vs Events Per Hour

Post by yenobstev » Tue Feb 07, 2017 3:07 pm

Does anyone know why my AHI and Events Per Hour numbers might be different? According to the MyAir app, it is my understanding that AHI and Events Per Hour are the same thing?

Thank you,

Steve

Where are you getting the two numbers from? , and how much different are they?

My events per hour displayed 1.7 today on the myair app. The AHI displays as 3.5 on the screen on the machine.

I think I may have the answer....

The events per hour is what the AHI is for the previous evening only. The AHI displayed on the machine is the average AHI computed over the current month.

I just got my machine 6 days ago, and it seems to make sense why the AHI number is higher than the events per hour....???

Steve,
Here is the clinical manual that has a lot more info. You can access the setup menu and change the reporting on your machine to daily. https://sleep.tnet.com/home/files/resme ... -guide.pdf

Also if your machine is full data there is free software to read the SD card.
