Pokey49 - Therapy Thread
RE: Pokey49 - Therapy Thread
Tmin was either .2 or .3. I don’t recall what Tmax was set at.  It was at default is all I know. 
I set the tmin/max to 2-2.6 based on SleepRiders suggestion of 2.6 
a minimum was not suggested. Does this sound like I did it correctly?? 

Trigger was at medium with the chart I shared today. I bumped it up to high

RE: Pokey49 - Therapy Thread
I just checked an online video. The Timin-tmax default settings are .3-2.0 

My machine is now set at 2-2.6. 
It was suggested I set Tmax to 2.6 which I did but somehow I ended up with Tmin at 2. 
Do I need to change Tmin back to .3 , leave at 2 or change to something else?

I’m really sorry to be such a bother. I really want to get this right. Thanks

Not a bother Pokey. This is what this forum is all about.

I'd probably set Ti Min back to 0.3. With the Ti Min that high like you're saying, it's forcing a minimum 2 second IPAP and might hinder breath synchronization.

This morning OSCAR said the last time I used my Vauto was Saturday night. I used it last night, but no data was downloaded from the SD card. Does this mean the SD card is full and could not record anymore data from my machine? I need to use a new SD card??

RE: Pokey49 - Therapy Thread
SD card is not full unless you have other data on it, in fact the Resmed machines eventually delete old data to put in new data if the card capacity is reached. You can try purging the last day of data and trying to import again under the Data Advanced menu. Another thing to do is to Rebuild CPAP Data, or create a new profile to see if it imports. Hopefully the summary data shows fewer events.

I'm late to the game. The intention was Ti Min 0.3 and Ti Max 2.6. The reason was that your statistics showed both the 95% Ti were both 2.0. This means the machine was not maintaining IPAP for as long as you were spontaneously inhaling. Not very important, but giving more inspiration time is usually more comfortable, and the device still cycles to EPAP once it detects expiratory flow.

I’m sorry I am not the most computer literate. 
I’m not sure what or how to purge the last day of data, rebuild CPAP data or where/how to create a new profile.

Your Apnea Board user profile allows a certain amount of attachment storage, such as the OSCAR charts. You'd need to access your user profile and delete some of the oldest attachments.
