RE: CPAP choice
It’s better to display a screenshot of your screen from OSCAR (F12) it can be attached directly to your message here take a look at the instructions in my signature for assistance it makes it easier for us to look at your data and comment. I have not looked at your data as my IPad that I use most of the time does not like zip files easily

Out of curiosity... Seemingly the two A10s are identical, other than the outside "for her" and the firmware. Could the "for him" A10 updated with the "for her" firmware update?

RE: CPAP choice
Theoretically, "Yes" an AS10 could have its firmware updated to the "For Her" version. Now comes the "However"; You will either need to obtain the "For Her" code, which isn't available by itself. Or, you know how to modify the current firmware to turn on this feature.
This makes the answer to your question, yes you can, but no you can't.

RE: CPAP choice
Thanks again for all the answers.
So here is my failled attempt with my in auto mode because the cpap cover opened. Tonigth i'm trying the redmed AirSense 10 [b]Strong enough for a man but made for her [/b] It's currently 30 degree(90) outside with 44% of humidity. It should go down to 23 (73) during the night I have the heat and humidity set to max. Maybe i should ear your recommendations about my extreme settings in the fear of lacking humidity

RE: CPAP choice
Mainly the humidifier is targeted to adding to the user comfort. It's not said to be required, but many of us benefit from added humidity in the air we breathe from the mask. You will have to determine how much humidity and heat from the hose is needed to maintain comfort. Each of us will like it a bit differently, and our room atmospheres are very likely to all be different as well.

Hello Bonjour I was wondering did you come accross users who experienced the dreamstation expert? It is said to increase automatically the mininum pressure over time to adapt therapy. IE: if it detects you do numerous OA under 8 it will overtime start at 8. How does the p-flex compare to the c-flex or epr^ Does in efficently treat other apneas or events? Thanks

RE: CPAP choice
We have seen few examples of the "Expert" so practical comparison has to wait.
Flex is a proportional response based on the 'strength' of your breathing, it is also timed significantly differently than ResMeds EPR. It is considered a Comfort feature. This is compared to EPR's Fixed response which appears to be based on PS in the ResMed BiLevels. EPR, when properly used, is effective in treating Hypopnea, Flow Limits, RERAs, UARS as well as being a comfort feature.

RE: CPAP choice
Should you trial that machine, I would appreciate a copy of the SD card, to my DropBox for OSCAR.
Analyzing the data for anyone, that is a no brainer, and we will give you our honest opinion.
