For me, I'd rather wait and see the AC10's Daily screenshot after you adjust the TiMax.

RE: Terrible LOFTA Sleep Results
Hey folks,
I slept with my A11 again, as I'm still working on settings on Aircurve 10 VAuto. Here's some screenshots from last night, my results keep getting worse. Note there's a gap where I didn't put my mask on after bathroom. Got up because I was starting to get a head ache and put it on and went back to sleep. PS: I'm still waiting on cervical pillow, as the one I got is too narrow for my neck. FYI for all who look at my sleeping schedule, I'm on vacation from work. Whole night: First problem area: Apnea Storm

The below are the settings I'll use tonight with the AirCurve 10 Vauto C2C. (06-28-2022, 11:53 AM)Crimson Nape Wrote: Your default TiMax setting is set to an elapsed time that is too short. This value determines the maximum time the CPAP will stay at IPAP pressure before dropping to the EPAP pressure. I believe that the default is 2.8 seconds. Try setting it to 3.2 seconds. Ok I'm doing the settings now and reset the machine to defaults. Ti Max: Is by default 2.0 sec Ti Min: Is by default 0.3 sec Prescription was originally: BIPAP set max IPAP 25, min EPAP 6, PS 4 cm H20 with heated humidity and mask/interface fitting. VAuto Mode Max IPAP: 25 Min EPAP: 6.0 PS: 4.0 And also setting: TI Max: 3.2 sec - Is it ok to drop to 3.1 or 3.0 for comfort? Ti Min: 0.3 sec - Will keep as default Keeping the rest as default: Trigger: Med Cycle: Med --- And one more question, what is the difference between S vs Vauto modes?

First, your thread merge request has been done.
Secondly, there is no need to reduce the TiMax in your case. It would not improve anything. So long as you inhale for at least .3 seconds and less than 3.2 seconds, you won't notice any changes. - Red

I just went back and looked at the AutoSet charts, and I see that the 95%tile Ti is over 4 seconds, so there may be the occasional disturbance at 3.0 or 3.2 seconds Ti-max - perhaps not enough to be noticeable

RE: Terrible LOFTA Sleep Results
So far I think this is the best night with a PAP machine. I really am liking the Aircurve VAuto. Its so much easier to breathe. I had no trouble falling asleep due to the pressure to exhale.
I did get up and come back to sleep for a bit (hence the gap). Note, I did increase the Min EPAP from 6 to 7, as I felt I needed more air. |
