AHI large leaks and Sleepyhead

Post by Woody » Thu Dec 26, 2019 4:55 pm

I am having some huge leaks I think they are because I am moving in my sleep and disturbing my mask seal.
If I wear a cervical collar this seems to help a great deal but today I took a nap without the collar. Now things get
interesting . When I display the data on my Dreamscreen screen it tells me I had a 2 1/2 hr nap with a AHI of 18.2 .
But I then let Sleepyhead look at the SD card and again it tells me I had a 2 1/2 hr nap with a leek rate from hell of 46%
but during those 2 1/2 hrs I only had 1 hypotna for an AHI of .35 Ok I know the huge leaks are totaly messing up the
reports but why with the huge leaks does Dreamstation seem to just pull the AHI figure from thin air?

You can quit with the OSCAR announcements and replies to old threads. We have a sticky at the very top of the Topics section devoted to OSCAR and we update it with every new version and we have long known about Sleepyhead being no longer supported.
