CPAP Codes

Post by wkerby » Fri Jul 04, 2014 2:33 pm

I have logged 10 days worth of use on my Fisher Paykel 200 Series. I read the operations manual. My average AHI was 2.4. I have never felt better and more alert. After my AHI reading is an upside down hourglass. It is a 2 digit number that has ranged a high of 71 to a low of 40, with an average of 54. What does this number represent? It is not listed in the manual. Thank you!

Suggest you try again using the name of your machine in the subject... sorry I'm not familiar with that one.

On the F-P 200 series, the icon referenced is the system leak symbol.
If you look at it closely, it is a cartoon of a nasal mask with little air puffs coming out to the sides.
An acceptable leak is any number below 60. It is in units of Liters per minute.
So, mostly your leaks are in the normal (not large) range. Perhaps a little attention might be paid to your mask fit.
See page 7 in the manual referenced below:
