Haha. I actually tried the app right now; doesn't seem too bad. Now I know that I need a large size mask.ChicagoGranny wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:02 am"... suggests hundreds of mask (that fit the scan) ..."MaskMan8888 wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 6:50 amIf you are looking to find a good mask to use either now or in the future, try downloading MaskFit AR on the App Store.

Wow! That really narrows it down.

Most of the masks on cpap.com show a fitting guide provided by the mask manufacturer. I don't know whether the fitting guide or the app is the better tool.gadgetmaniah wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:05 amHaha. I actually tried the app right now; doesn't seem too bad.

Oh right, I was just taking a look at Resmed's fitting guide on their website. Seems simpler.ChicagoGranny wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:16 amMost of the masks on cpap.com show a fitting guide provided by the mask manufacturer.

Right, thank you!Pugsy wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 5:07 pmMask movement during the night as we change position or facial oils/sweat accumulate and mess with the seal is very common.
When the mask moves from whatever reason....leaks happen.
I once woke up with one of my nasal pillows blowing air into my ear and the other one was blowing air into my eyeball.
Had a big leak show up on the reports when that happened.

It's a bug in the OSCAR software. Thought they had fixed that little problem.gadgetmaniah wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 9:20 amwhy is my humidifer status showing as 'On' on OSCAR even though I'm not using a humidifier? Is this normal?

Ignore it. Nothing you can do about it. Sometimes the actual settings OSCAR doesn't get right due to the little bug in the software.

Each patient is an individual case. There is no optimal EPR for the patient population, and there is no formula for assigning an EPR. The optimal EPR/Min/Max setting is the one that is effective for the user and doesn't interrupt the user's sleep. For example, some like very much an EPR of 3, and others, like me, don't like the constant up and down cycling of the pressure. I don't use EPR. Others won't do without it.gadgetmaniah wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 1:20 pmI've heard that an EPR of 3 is optimal. So, if I normally have my minimum at 6 cm, would I need to increase the minimum pressure if I set EPR to 3?
Note if EPR is set at 3 and minimum pressure is set at 6.0, the machine will not go below 4.0. So, the EPR setting is effectively only 2.The ResMed AirSense 10 has built-in sensors that detect a patient’s breathing. As an individual exhales, the CPAP machine responds by reducing the air pressure delivered by a specific amount. When an inhale is detected again, the machine raises the pressure back to the prescribed setting. This is known as EPR, or expiratory pressure relief.
The ResMed AirSense 10 has four EPR settings: 0-3. At 0, pressure relief is turned off. At 3, air pressure is reduced by 3 cm H2O. For example, if a patient’s CPAP is set to 10 cm H2O with an EPR of 3, the air pressure during exhale is lowered to 7 cm H2O. Once an inhale is detected, air pressure increases back to 10.
