Brand New Need help please
My pulmonologist did PFTs and sleep apnea testing . My AHI is 28, I have desaturations, occasional aspirations. Daily I am short of breath especially AM and fatigue. He prescribed the Vauto but  have no clue where to start
Could you please advise initial settings. I am working on setting up with Oscar but not sure if my oximeter is compatible. Any suggestions for the best oximeter? 

Thanks so much!

Welcome to the board. They should have set it up before they gave it to you but if not.

Post with OSCAR tomorrow. You can download OSCAR, totally free, at the top of the site. You will need a SD card in the machine while you sleep 32 GB or less.
