 Ok I meant an ASV versus a non ASV machine.
Using the wrong terminology confuses other people looking for answers, so it needs to be corrected.

 Out of curiosity what was the deciding factor for you to get a prescription for an ASV in the first place versus a bipap or apap?
I didn't choose it - After one of my sleep studies intended to check for daytime sleepiness issues- I received a call from a Sleep Doctor, regarding a diagnosis of "Mixed Sleep Apnea" (Combination of Central & Obstructive Sleep Apnea), and then they gave me a prescription for the ASV, which treats the Centrals - prior to this diagnosis, I was using a regular bilevel device, and prior to that I had an APAP for Obstructive Sleep Apnea . . .
