S9 time in each pressure

Post by terio2 » Sun Oct 17, 2010 7:25 am

How can you see how much time you are at in each pressure on and S9apap? I can't fin d totals like how Resprionics details it. Also the people wandering about leak rates under 1 lucky them my leak rate is always 95 percent in the 20's and max at oh the 40's

How can you see how much time you are at in each pressure on and S9apap?
If you download the detailed data into ResScan, you can pick up this information (indirectly) by looking at the pressure graph in the detailed graphs. You'll see when/how the S9 is changing the pressure if it's in APAP mode.

But your sig indicates you have an S9 Elite, which is a full data straight CPAP, not APAP machine.

When you check the short version of the Sleep Quality menu each morning, do you have a Green Smiley or a Red Frowny?

What does ResScan say about your median leak rates? That may be more important than the max rate being in the 40s if the max rate is only happening for a very short time frame each night.

Have you looked at the leak data graph in the detailed graphs in ResScan? That might give you some insight into when the leaks occur, how long they last, and how bad each individual leak is. If you're leaking pretty bad most of the night, maybe you are breathing through your mouth?
