I am not a resmed person either. Maybe someone will recognize that picture and say what model, but it appears it is older than the information Wulfman assumed.
I sure hope so because my husband is still falling asleep so often although not as much as before but still more than he should. I had really hoped someone could help me with this. What do you think of his #'s . I don't know much but it seems to me that an AHI of 9.1 and a HI of 8.4 are still to high am I right?

$750.00 deductable for the new year before they would pay any more on the machine so I returned the remstar m and bought a resmed autoset spirt for him. I am NOT dealing with the DME anymore as I returned their machine. I am on my own trying to figure this out. Agin he had the first sleep study then he went back and the doctor wrote the script for what looks like a setting at 10cm.
This is similar to my experience. I was given a machine which was calibrated for me based on the titration done in the second sleep study. I never spoke with my internist about my results nor did I have a consult with the sleep M.D. My internist did say that split night tests were not a good way to go, so I did a full night for both the sleep study and the titration. The technician told me she did get good readings from me, so I feel confident the machine is calibrated at the optimal setting that will provide good therapy for me.
