RE: Should I adjust my DreamStation minimum pressure?
Nothing exceeds the large leak threshold, and to me this looks fine, except for the flow limitation. You're going to really enjoy the new machine, whenever.
RE: Should I adjust my DreamStation minimum pressure?
I received my new machine today--the AirSense 10 For Her. I've been using nasal pillows for many years, but they gave me a full-face mask (AirFit F20) to try, since I've been having some issues waking up with a very dry mouth. The machine does not have a SIM card--can I remove the card from my old ResMed machine and put it in this machine, or should I get a new card?
RE: Should I adjust my DreamStation minimum pressure?
Congrats on the ResMed. On the SD card, you can save data on the PC and then go with using it on the new machine. One option anyway. Better IT-ish folk will be on to advise better. I do think it's best to dedicate an SD to an individual machine.

When you put the old Resmed card in the new machine the Autoset will detect the card has been used before and give you an option to erase the SD card, carry on it will be fine

The old Resmed hasn't been used in a couple years--I've had the Dreamstation since--so I was thinking there was no reason to retain the old info at this point.
RE: Should I adjust my DreamStation minimum pressure?
That’s fine let the machine over-write the old card
RE: Should I adjust my DreamStation minimum pressure?
I don't have OSCAR data from last night because I didn't have an SD card in, but it wasn't a great night with the new full-face mask. My ears were popping--which has never happened to me before in 7-ish years on CPAP--and I woke up very congested. 3/4 of the water from the reservoir was used up last night, and normally I use very little water. I also woke up a few times in the night to the loud sound of air escaping out the sides of the mask when I moved my head. My congestion cleared up as soon as I took the mask off, but my ears are still hurting (!!) and I have a headache. Not sure if I need to adjust the AirFit F20 somehow or if I should go back to my regular nasal pillow mask.

Hi JeniferJuniper,
I would go back to the mask that you are used to. It should fit the new machine without trouble - all masks except a few for travel machines should have universal fittings. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. Besides, it is best to change one thing at a time, so you can assess the effects of the change.
Good luck with your new machine.

This is what I'm going to do. I also put a card in so I'll have OSCAR data tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Here is the OSCAR data from last night with the new AirSense 10 For Her. I went back to the Philips nasal pillow mask and didn't have the ear popping, thank god.
