S9 acting up?

Post by bob007 » Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:27 pm

Hi guys,

Three nights ago I turned on my S9 and it felt like the pressure was very high at start up. I pushed the button off and then hit it again to restart and everything was fine. However, I now notice that my readings (hours, pressure, AHI....etc.) read out the same for each of the last three nights. That has never happened before. I've been using CPAP every night since last March.

Any clue as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

As far as an update....I feel like my fatigue is less than when I started but not quite where I'd like to be. I still have days when late afternoon through the evening I feel pretty exhausted, but over the past two months I've had more good days than bad. However, my sleep doc says she doesn't believe my fatigue problems are sleep apnea related because all my reports show very low apnea...I should be feeling lots better in her estimation.

So I continue to use it and hope for more improvement.

Thanks,

Bob

I had persistent readings like you describe a couple of time on my first S9. Run hours was the only data point that was changing.

The first occurrence was resolved by simply unplugging the machine. That didn't work the second time it happened. My DME swapped units and I haven't had any more troubles.

Some of the S9 machines have had trouble with the SD cards, try buying a decent 1GB card from the store and see if that helps at all. If not cash in on the 2 year warranty and get your machine replaced.

Good Luck
