[Equipment] Session interrupted without power outage

[chronicpain]

Hi all,

For the second time over the past week, I'm seeing 2 CPAP sessions in OSCAR with a gap of several minutes in between. I don't believe there had been a power interruption today, and I certainly was asleep the entire time. I'm not sure what is going on.

   
   

In both cases there was a cessation of flow prior to the end of the first session, and the mask pressure chart showed the 4Hz pulsing pattern similar to apnea type determination. However, the machine did not mark it as an apnea event.

   

I turned on Smart Start after 5/10. Smart Stop remained disabled. Did I really stop breathing for over a minute and the machine decided to end the CPAP session?

Every time we see someone report this anomaly, they had SmartStart turned on. When it is turned off, the problem ceases.

Hi Crimson Nape,

Thanks for your reply! Could you point me to posts about similar issues?

I'll go ahead and disable SmartStart. However, attachment 2 (session on 5/10, zoomed in view below) has SmartStart disabled. I didn't turn it on until a couple days ago. Same presentation.
