This machine is $1350 used from a good source. If you don't actually need it the VAuto will be a better choice. In addition to improving your therapy we want to determine which machine you should get.
Sorry for the late answer, I wanted to try out what you guys suggested before I came back to you.
So this is what happened :
I was initially set to APAP 7-14, with SoftPAP on max ( SoftPAP =
comfort/pressure relief).
My average was 2/h -OA and 3/h CA in the last 29 days.
We raised the min pressure from 7 to 9 through 3-4 days, first to 8 and then to 9. I did not feel a difference but the number of CA's more than doubled every night.
Lowered the min pressure to 8.5 but centrals stayed.
Lowered the min pressure to 8 and the centrals went down - first night it was 4/h, then 2/h, 1/h and 2/h.
After the Centrals went down I turned off the pressure relief completely and for the last two days got pretty good results with 0/h OA. First night I had 1/h Central and second 2/h Central.
After the first night with no pressure relief I woke up feeling fairly decent and was not as tired during the day as usually. Today I got woken up by some truck outside my house earlier than usually so I am not feeling that great but not bad.
I will lower the min pressure to 7 again where I started to see if the CA's will completely be gone.

I had 2 nose surgeries in the last 2 years, septoplasty and rhinoplasty. Now my breathing is better but in a month I will go for a breathing test to make sure its all good.
Besides that nothing much, I am in my early 30s, fairly fit and active, no cardiac issues. The only other medical problem I have is that I was diagnosed with ADHD which escalated when I started feeling more and more tired.
Would all this info be enough for you to suggest a different machine for me? I will try reinstalling my Windows one more time today in order to get the PrismaTS software running, for some reason I cant get an sql server running on it which is needed for the PrismaTS.
