"For Her" setting in AirSense 11 Autoset

RE: "For Her" setting in AirSense 11 Autoset
cathyf I really like your post.  I feel the same way.

The worst thing about cpap therapy has been the sleep doc for me.  Treatment for OSA in Ontario has been more stressful than having OSA!


I appreciate the post revealing features of the *for her*. I have an S10 *for her*.  my test AHI 35+ years ago was 43  I'm extremely grateful that I have this machine.  Living in Ontario Canada this machine is listed as a cpap.....the system won't allow a sleep doc to prescribe an apap for people like me. 

The best thing about OSA therapy has occurred because I listened to the advice I was given here.

My S10 autosensse was on the *for her* mode. I had horrible frequent flow limits.

Changed it to apap mode *for him!*

Much reduced flow limits.

Only change.

If interested please look at the last post I made with 2 screen shots.

I know it's an S10; posting in hopes it helps someone.

RE: "For Her" setting in AirSense 11 Autoset
All the above helps me. I just received a Resvent iBreeze which I think I will return and insist on an Airsense 11 For Her. I’ve been on an Airsense 10, so I am accustomed to their algorithms. That alone should be sufficient reason.

I hope not to mention that I also want to look at my own data, and adjust my own settings! I might compare the “for her” setting vs the “for him” that my 10 has had for 7.75 years. But I will say that, if they refuse to listen to me.

Here is your hold card.
The DME has a Choice of either providing you with an AutoSet or not providing you with any machine.

FYI, there is an AirSense 11 AutoSet, there is not an AirSense 11 AutoSet for Her.

To clarify what Gideon said, the AirSense 11 Autoset includes the For Her mode, along with the Autoset and CPAP modes.

There is also a section on the For Her algorithm in the Apnea Board Wiki:

The good thing about the AirSense 11 Autoset is that one can try out all three modes on one machine and see which works best.
