Inflationary chamber or not, the transducer sits right at the impeller's output side---very close to where the CPAP hose plugs in. To even claim that the raw transducer data somehow doesn't accurately measure system output because of a slightly inflationary chamber is objecting to teensie-weensie transient pressure discrepancies not even supported by that pressure-delivery circuit. Sensing teensie pressure pulsation signals like cardiogenic oscillations toward making treatment decisions is one thing... But measuring much more coarse pressure-delivery circuit output is another thing entirely---that doesn't come even close to supporting such small pressure signal feedback resolutions required to measure the transient deltas between the impeller's output and feedback transducer.
And for me to entertain a comment about transient pressure discrepancies at such small and circuit-irrelevant resolutions is academic entertainment of an impractical objection. If you need to measure system output by compensating raw transducer data with a simple fixed function, then that's what you do. Here, the raw transducer data measures the system's pressure output just fine given the typical resolutions at which these circuits work.
Silly academic debate for objections based on irrelevant resolutions that are way too small to even matter for this feedback control circuit...
Somehow, the words
teensie-weensie just don't seem to fit the standards of the rest of the post.

I liked it. I believe that in certain engineering circles, "teensie-weensie" is the diminutive form of "teensy-weensy" which is the diminutive form of "teeny-weeny" which is the diminutive form of the word "itty-bitty," which is the diminutive form of the word "tiny," which is the diminutive form of the word "diminutive." Thus, in context, the perfect usage!

With interval over the peanuts all consumed the side show can get back to the main event - does EasyBreathe depend on EPR ?
Resmed did release this announcement which yet again fails to mention that EPR is part of EasyBreathe, in fact they don't get to Mention EPR at all. They only characterise EasyBreathe as a quietness & smoothness suitable for 'all cpap patients'. But then in another release they do imply EPR is dependant on EasyBreathe so it is still open but both POVs seem defensible

The Easy-Breathe Pressure Profile
The Easy-Breathe pressure profile was originally developed for ResMed’s advanced VPAP Adapt SV to deliver comfortable therapy for complex sleep disorders. The same comfortable pressure profile is ideal for
all CPAP patients because, unlike the traditional square bilevel waveform, Easy-Breathe’s smooth pressure profile recreates a patient’s natural breathing pattern for a more comfortable breath. Like natural breathing, Easy-Breathe fills the lungs gradually, leaving patients relaxed.
The Easy-Breathe Motor
Easy-Breathe features a dual-stage motor that delivers superior performance at half the effort, cutting device noise to less than 25 dB. The advanced Easy-Breathe motor delivers quiet comfort and unprecedented pressure stability.

I think RR and RM should get in a big court battle over RM stealing flex so the other APAP-manufacturing dudes can grab some market share. Go Underdogs!

EasyBreathe? What's EasyBreathe?
Never heard of it.

Hey JNK,
Where is the flex ? - I guess we could say they hid it in that airbag that encases the blower motor
I wonder if that is what provides the 'puff' Slinky mentioned

Easy-Breathe is C-Flex. Easy-Breathe is C-Flex. Nah nah nah naaaaah nah. ResMed stole the patent. Jersey Jeff's in trouble. Nah nah nah naaaaaah nah.

What is the difference between the Escape 2 & the Elite 2?
Thanks-Bob

The Escape is not a data capable machine. The Elite allows you to get detailed data that you can view with ResScan V3.7 Software with reader. I was handed an Escape and a mask after my sleep test in Feb. A week later I traded the Escape for an Autoset (which is data capable) and a different mask...it was the forum that helped me to know what I needed to do and that I had a window of time when I could upgrade my machine and get a better fitting mask.

The S8 Escape and S8 Escape II w/EPR are capable of compliance data ONLY. Which is of absolutely NO VALUE TO ANYONE except the local DME supplier as proof you are using it and not letting it sit in the closet so that they get paid by your insurance company.
The S8 Elite w/EPR and S8 Elite II w/EPR are fully data capable CPAPs. Much of the data is easily available to you via the LCD screen. And even more data is available via the data card. This data is VALUABLE to you and to what appears to be the minority of sleep doctors who are interested enough to use it to ensure that you ARE getting good therapy or clues as to what changes to your therapy settings he can order to increase your success and comfort w/your CPAP therapy.

Thanks Robertmarilyn & slinky. Does the Escape 2 with EPR have the same "easybreathe" technology that the Elite 2 has?

Yes,all the S8 IIs have the EasyBreath technology. But really, you will eventually regret not INSISTING on the Elite II for its full data capability.
Check them out:
