Respironics run Hours?

How do I check the run hours on my Respironics Remstar 560 machine. Also it there a way to find total therapy hours on Sleepyhead?

Here is a video to watch, scroll all the way to the bottom and watch. http://www.cpaplibrary.com/machines.html

I did go into the clinical menu and found therapy hours, is that res-speak for run hours?

Therapy hours might be the same as run hours as long as the machine hasn't ever been reset to zero.
If you found therapy hours you should have seen the run hours but it's called "machine hours" .
Run hours is ResMed's term.

There are no "Run hours" on the PR machines. That's a ResMed term.
With Respironics (Philips/Respironics) machines, there are only two types of "hours" recorded by the machine......"Blower hours" and "User hours". The User hours can be reset but the Blower hours cannot.

If the new PR machines are like the older Respironics, the blower hours are displayed briefly when plugging in the power cord and then the user hours remain on the screen until you start the machine......then the pressure setting is displayed.

They aren't the same anymore.
There's a separate menu choice in the "Info" box for therapy and machine hours (which is what we use to see as blower hours)...so machine hours is the menu choice in the PR S1 machines...or at least in my PR S1 machines.
Machine hours, therapy hours, AHI, reset data, etc... all are in Info box and pretty much on the same screen in the clinical setup menu...must be in the clinical menu though to see it though.

Yeah, I should have referred to the provider manual before I replied.

Info Screen
Note: The screen will only show a few lines at a time. As you rotate the control wheel to toggle over different options the screen will slide up and down accordingly.

• Phone-in - This screen displays the total therapy hours for the device, the total blower hours, and the total number of days used when the sessions were greater than 4 hours since the device was last reset. This screen also displays a compliance check number you can use to validate that the data provided to you is the data taken from this screen.

• Compliance VIC (Visual Inspection Check) - This screen displays the start day and the total number of days used when the sessions were greater than 4 hours. This screen also displays a check code number you can use to validate that the data provided to you is the data taken from this screen.

• Therapy hours - The device is capable of recognizing the difference between the time the patient is actually receiving therapy and the time when the blower is simply running. This screen displays the average amount of time the patient is actually receiving therapy on the device over a 7 day and 30 day time frame (provided the device has at least 7 or 30 days of data respectively). If the device has only 5 days of data to use for the calculation, the 5 day average value will be seen under the 7 day display.

• Blower hours - This screen displays the number of hours that the blower has been active over the life of the device.

• Days > 4 - This screen displays the cumulative number of device therapy sessions that exceeded 4 hours over a 7 day and 30 day time frame.

• Large leak - During any given night, the device recognizes the percentage of time the patient was experiencing what it deemed to be a large leak. Large leak is defined as the level of leak that is so large, it is no longer possible to determine respiratory events with statistical accuracy. This screen displays the average of these individual nightly values of percentage of time in large leak over a 7 day and 30 day time frame (provided the device has at least 7 or 30 days of data respectively). If the device has only 5 days of data to use for the calculation, the 5 day average value will be seen under the 7 day display.

• AHI - The device accumulates individual Apnea/Hypopnea indices (AHI) for each session the patient used the device. This screen displays the average of these individual nightly AHI values over a 7 day and 30 day time frame (provided the device has at least 7 or 30 days of data respectively). If the device has only 5 days of data to use for the calculation, the 5 day average value will be seen under the 7 day display.

• Periodic Breathing - During any given night, the device recognizes the percentage of time the patient was experiencing periodic breathing. This screen displays the average of these individual nightly values of periodic breathing over a 7 day and 30 day time frame (provided the device has at least 7 or 30 days of data respectively). If the device has only 5 days of data to use for the calculation, the 5 day average value will be seen under the 7 day display.

• 90% Pressure - During any given night, the device recognizes the 90% Pressure achieved by the Auto Algorithm. 90% Pressure is defined as the pressure at which the device spent 90% of the session time at or below. For example, if the device recognized airflow for 10 hours, and 9 hours were spent at or below 11 cm H2O, and 1 hour was spent above 11 cm H2O, then the 90% Pressure would be 11 cm H2O. This screen displays the average of these individual nightly values of 90% Pressure over a 7 day and 30 day time frame (provided the device has at least 7 or 30 days of data respectively). If the device has only 5 days of data to use for the calculation, the 5 day average value will be seen under the 7 day display. This screen only displays in Auto-CPAP therapy.

• Reset data - This screen allows you to erase all 7 and 30 day averages, compliance data, therapy hours and patient information on the device. Make sure that “Reset data” is highlighted on the info screen. Press and hold both the control wheel and the Ramp button for at least 5 seconds. The device will beep once signifying that the data has been reset.
Note: Machine hours are not erased.

• Machine hours - This screen displays the amount of time that the machine has been active over the life of the device.
Note: Therapy hours and blower hours can be reset for new patients. Machine hours are not erased.

• Humidifier - This screen will display 3 settings: power supply (either the 60W or 80W), tubing type, and either humidifier or tube temperature setting (if using).

Thanks to all. I was able to find everything. Mostly curiosity and still convinced my machine had been used. Next time I will know how to check but that will be a few years. I am happy with it but irritated with my DME, the big A. I do get supplies with another company now.
