RE: Need immediate help. [adjusting to different machine]
Maybe that night. It was hot in the room and I did sleep for a long time. Strange bed in motel. I'll check it in am if I'm up before noon but I don't think I will be. It will be gone. I dont have a chin strap but I do have duck tape ha ha. Thanks for all the help so far. What would be an acceptable leak at l/s?

You want to your leak rate to be below .4 l/s. Anything at or above .4ls will hamper treatment and your machines ability to detect apnea events.

Sounds like a lot of hypopnea. I can sometimes address that with EPR or pressure, but it would help to take a look at it. Feeling better counts more than the numbers, and it sounds like you might be on a better path.

maybe you should look at a different replacement machine the S8 you have listed is getting a bit long in the tooth. With a newer Resmed machine you can use a standard sd card reader availiable from Amazon for less than $10

S8 is just temporary. Trying to stay rested.
