'''''All about Snoring Data on the Philips Respironics System One Machines'''''
There's no official guide to how to interpret the Snoring information from the Philips Respironics System One as it is reported in either OSCAR or Encore. In looking at Encore numbers, the assumption is that the higher the so-called "VSI" number is, the more serious the snoring is. But exactly how large that number needs to be before it's troublesome is not known. And for reporting snoring in OSCAR, JediMark had to reverse-engineer the snoring data was reverse-engineered from the Philips Respironics machines and the information on why Encore presents the snoring data the way it chooses to present it is pretty scarce...
And when you start analyzing the ''raw snoring data'' the decisions Encore makes on how to ''present'' the snoring data seems bizarre from a statistical point of view. (More on that later.)
Once JediMark started reverse-engineering the snoring datawas reverse-engineered, he it was discovered that the Philips Respironics machines were keeping track of two kinds of snoring data; JediMark has chosen it was decided to call these two types of snore data ''Vibratory Snores (VS)'' and ''Vibratory Snores #2 (VS2)''. Those of us who had access to Encore Pro and had data from both straight pressure mode and auto mode were able to help JediMark figure out just what the significance of those two kinds of snores are in the Encore/PR world are. Here's the run down as we now understand thingscurrent understanding:<br />
