Sleep Quality setting on S9

Post by SleepyCabeza » Fri Jun 20, 2014 6:42 pm

Hi all. Just noticed the "Sleep Quality" setting on my S9 was set to Usage instead of On. But I've been getting full data from SleepyHead. I thought if it was set to Usage instead of On I would be getting only compliance data. Am i wrong?? Is all my previous data on SleepyHead not valid? That would suck as I've been happy with the numbers. AHI under 1 every night.

Which version of SleepyHead are you using and are you seeing AHI and various graphs or just AHI?
What do you have for detailed graph data?

Version 9.5. I'm seeing graphs for event flags, flow rate, AHI, mask pressure, pressure, leak, and bunch more.

I think the Sleep Quality feature pertains to the data you see on your machine's LED screen, not to what Sleepyhead can get from your SD card.

the 'sleep quality' setting determines what you see on the display, not what data is written to the card.

and, here I go talking to myself again...

I did a test on my s9 vpap auto last night, I set 'sleep quality' to 'usage', then I slept on it. I had full flow data (and everything else) in sleepyhead.

the setting *only* affects the 'sleep quality' display on the LCD when you hit the i for info button.

if it's set to 'usage' you get the one liner that says how many hours you used the machine 'last night' (mine says 15 minutes because I slept past noon today )

if it's set to 'on' then you get the usage, mask fit and ahi display.

check page 15 of the elite/autoset clinicians manual, pg 22 of the vpap auto/st/s, pg 19 of the vpap adapt, pg 26 of the st-a

the setting appears to be solely for those 'clinicians' that are firmly convinced that their customers (us) are dumb as a box of rocks.
