RE: AirCurve 10 ST-A
You have central apnea and no coexisting respiratory or diaphragmatic illness? Your doctor/insurance is doing you a great disservice. It should be a crime to prescribe an advanced machine like the 10 ST-A to someone who doesn't benefit from it. Especially if your Dr. doesn't even understand it.
I would just look on the forums for a used ASV machine from a reputable seller and call it a day. Vast majority of these docs/companies just want your money.

It was explained earlier in the thread why he did not get an ASV (heart disease with reduced EF) and did get an AVAPS capable device (he needed a BPAP-ST capable device and doc thought he had comorbid COPD).

Nothing I say on the forum should be taken as medical advice.
