Just goes to show us that higher pressures don't always equal centrals.
Be careful if/when you go back down in pressure.
If you are used to higher pressures and make a dramatic drop it can be a bit uncomfortable feeling for a little while.
I had this happen when I experimented with higher pressures. Once I dropped it back down to my normal pressure I felt like I was suffocating for a couple of nights. Took me a little bit to get accustomed to the lower pressures even though 10 wasn't all that low.
I had used higher pressures for more than a couple of nights though.

Hey Cosmo,

I love your button idea. Some times the machine is so far from the bed that it is a pain to go push that button they manage to place the farther possible.

You can make the test and let us know the details, that could be very interesting. WOW a button at hand to start and stop the dang thing WOW .

That button should be one of the improvements for the new version.

I'm going for 20cm of pressure tonight. The experiment must be made

I'll back down on the pressure the same way I increased it. If the AHI values remain this way, I'll have to keep it higher. I won't use my old 95% value and instead use the "Max" pressure amount. Maybe 14-15cm.

For the remote on/off switch, if I could get a hold of a broken unit or any cheap S9 unit, I will try to mod that. I bought my Autoset out of pocket for around $1K. I'm not going to experiment on it just yet

Modding the Respironic units might be a little more tricky since they have a toggle knob. Hopefully some electronic engineer comes down with OSA and does a remote for their box. A remote screen would also be cool

Having this red button on the head board to turn on/off would be nice.

Obviously you two don't have cats in the room...

Oh yeah, he'd LOVE that button. Dang thing's already figured out how to turn my PRS1 on and off! I think he wears the mask when I'm not home

Hey khauser, I understand your cat.

You make too much noise (Ssss Ssss Ssss Ssss that's annoying ) with the machine and you don't let him sleep what else can the poor cat do other than to set Off the machine ?
