RE: Please offer advice
If you already washed it, use it until you can get a new one. But do not wait too long. Even though you washed the filter, it will get clogged much faster now. You need to get a new one.Sleep-well

RE: Please offer advice
Hi Kayla,

Keep using the washed filter until you replace with new one as soon as you can.

What are your daily numbers for apnea types (AHI = Apnea + Hypopnea Index, CAI = Central Apnea Index, OAI = Obstructive Apnea Index, UAI=Unknown type Apnea Index). When these numbers are called Index this means they are an average per hour.

Do you sleep on your back? That is usually the worst position for sleep apnea. Stay off your back.

"Leak" for ResMed machines is unintentional leak. Your Leak is usually good. Your pressure is usually near your max, so if were me I wouldn't lower pressure. Would focus on staying off my back.

Take care,
Vaughn

I just dont understand any of this at all-for example on dec 27,it says I had 3 events,hyp.15 and 0bst:.300 ahi is.46-the overview is weird and I cant seem to figure it out.I got a new filter but these numbers frustrate me.

RE: Please offer advice
Do you mean the overview in Sleepyhead? That becomes more useful when you have more than just a few nights. Go to the daily tab.

Three events mean you had, well, 3 events. An event is recorded when it is longer than 10 seconds.

The hyp is hypopnea. You had an HI (hypopnea index) of .15. That means they took the number of events and divided it by the number of hours.

Obstr is obstructive event. .300 means you had an AI of .3.

I would assume the .46 is the roundup between them. I would guess you had one hypopnea and 2 obstructive.

You want a total AHI of less than 5. So a .46 AHI is very, very good! Congrats!
