If you have had the foam mask for more than 30 days you might need a new one. Bug the DME - you should be entitled to replacements.

The narrowing on your graph - I see some when you had a leak, but I don't really a narrow band other than that - I'm sorry. Do you have a Pulse oximeter to check your oxygen levels? You MIGHT be breathing too shallowly (is that a word?) but I don't see it happenning for long....

This area right here

I can't help with the graphs but I wanted to let you know to check amazon or ebay for new cushions. When you don't have insurance they can be cheeper than dme's. .

My house is very dusty so I've gotten the replacement filters from Amazon

I called the DME they said I should get new cushions every month..it's going on the third month and I'm still on my first one "oh ok we will send one".. I bet they billed the insurance company for a new one each month....

One consideration would be switching from the AirTouch cushion to the AirFit cushion, the silicon cushion has a much longer lifespan than the foam. I'm unsure if the AirFit cushion is drop-in compatible with your existing headset and mask.

When you do get your replacement, don't throw your old one away, just yet.

Keep it as a back up for the new one. A semi-functional one is better than a broken one, should something happen to the replacement.

I would also suggest stock-piling a couple new replacements.

Good idea, and I can get a back up cushion from amazon.

And I will look into one with the silicone cushion also

Now that wouldn't surprise me. Check your insurance statements. I always do !

Checked my sleepy head data from !last night..

There was a new stat in my list.. " breathing not detected "

Where did that come from

Breathing Not Detected.
Machine was on but you weren't attached or you had a really, really big leak going on that caused the machine to not be able to sense you on the other end.

It has a negative number for it -149%

Have no idea why it would be a negative number. Need to see the actual detailed report.

Below is the report from last night

I have no idea how or why the BND number shows up at all.
I don't see any flags on the Events graph for BND....and if it happened it should be flagged on the Events graph.

So we blame my favorite scapegoat for when stuff happens that we can't explain.....aliens.

Might be a SleepyHead glitch from something. It doesn't make any logical sense that BND of any amount would show a negative value.

Sorry...my best guess is a SleepyHead software glitch of some sort I would just shrug my shoulders and move on.

Must be a ghost in the machine.

the time log has it starting at 21:05 and i started the machine at 21:01..even the length of it is in negative seconds

i have a haunted machine wooohooo

Sleepyhead is very buggy around the edges.
