RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
I have ResMed Poland company near me. They will probably give me a few masks to try, I'm going to them right away.
I know that the mask is individual, but I ask because I do not want to have a full face mask, but I would like it to be tight. My previous one is like in the picture, a few posts earlier. A photo from the hospital in a tangle of cables. I do not know what it's called, it's from 4 years ago. I'm not going to save money on the mask.
I do not suppose that changing the mask would cause that the device will give good results, but I do everything and do not want to neglect anything.

Even if it doesn't change any numbers on the machine. It's one problem fixed, moving forward. Take your machine with you. they might have some ideas or be able to do a test.
Have you used the machine for an hour. While awake and sitting in a chair. To see if the pattern is duplicated?

RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
ResMed is closed until June 26, so I can buy the mask in two days. But everything is clear: I have only a few apneas at night for an hour, so everything is OK with me, but it is not known why the device has a bad indication. However, this is a much smaller problem.
The device is not worth testing, because I know from a ResMed service technician that possible repair can be priced similarly to such a new device. So it's a new mask or a different device. Or both of these things. A new mask for sure, because new models of masks are more resistant to leaks. For example, in the AirFit N30i mask, the tube is at the top of the head, not in front of the face.

RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
The reason your device reported AHI of 340 on 6/20/19 is because the recorded session is only 1 minute. If you somehow had 5 events for that one minute, then the AHI of 340 results. That would require an apnea or hypopnea once every 10.8 seconds. This is feasible, however, you should not count events when you are not asleep. It's possible that this error came from not counting all of the sessions or all of the time the machine was used on 5/19, or you only used the Autoset for one minute or less.
In general, the AHI is consistent with the findings I saw earlier in the range of 5 to 60 AHI over sessions from 300 to 600 minutes. While the one-minute session should certainly be thrown out, it does not point to a defect or malfunction in your Autoset.

This file - Kowalewski, Lech.csv - contains data from hospital equipment. I have sent you a short version before.
Last two nights at home I had 42 apneas. Is this possible?
RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
42 apnea’s over what period of time? For example, if that was over an 8 hour period, that would only be slightly over 5 AHI. Even if it was only for 1 hour, it would not be an uncommon result, especially if some of the events were from times you were not completely asleep.

RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
I compare it with my several apneas in the hospital. But of course, with 240 apneas, which the device showed some time ago, is not much.
RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
I fell asleep in the mask now and after half an hour I woke up: both green smileys, 33.3 events.
I guess so there is nothing more to write about it: the indications are high despite the tightness of the device.
RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
I'd still put it through resscan and see what the leaks say, but it seems you have resolved that the unit is faulty.
RE: Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?
from what I read here mask and leaks have been pretty confidently ruled out as the difference between before and after so it almost has to be your machine or the hospital tests/monitoring at fault. what I don't understand is if your doctor is confident in the hospital results, why would they send you home to use a faulty machine? they should at least have recognized the problem and arranged or had you arrange for it to be checked out, repaired or replaced. I have no medical qualifications whatsoever but common sense leads me to suspect the hospital results more than your machine data. not necessarily their equipment or expertise; more likely an inconsistent night for you. I don't see how you can be sure without trying another machine or having yours checked.
