It is the wave form data that I've used to satisfy myself that I didn't turn the either the old or new machine off in my sleep by the way. The last time it happened (with the new April 2011 manufactured machine) the wave form was nice and regular right up to where the wave form ends. No irregular breathing of the sort you see when you're turning over or moving around in bed at all.

But as I said, on this particular incident I can't quite be sure of where the cat is, although both hubby and I are pretty sure the cat was not responsible since his presence anywhere close to my head wakes me up. Still, until it happens again when I know the cat's not around, I'm content to hope the problem was the cat.

Hi Roby Sue

Did you ever get any further info on this? Did you machine keep doing this? I have a System One (about 14 months).

I noticed recently, on some waveforms, that the machine just stops (no auto-off). Mine was a 2010 machine (v1.24). I have only seen a stop for a few nights on the waveform (since I started downloading the waveforms). However, I only recently started looking again at my waveforms (nothing for about 1 year). I often run my machine for short periods to blow the hose out (if I have washed it just before bed) and have never seen it stop on its own.

I can see waveform shows the machine stop after a large leak (grey block shows on waveform), sometimes after a few pressure pulses (I assume the mask might be coming off). However, I can also see places when it just stops (displayed as a red line with a solid black dot at the end -----------0 ). I am assuming this is a stop (I have not physically seen it stop) or woken up. I wonder if it doesn't mean the machine is just not recording any variables any further as the machine is just blowing with no resistance?

Thanks
